Kramer Electronics

6x6 Balanced A/V Matrix Switcher

The Kramer VS-646 is a high performance, 6x6 vertical interval matrix switcher for composite video and balanced stereo audio signals. It is a true matrix, allowing the user to route any input to any or all outputs simultaneously. Since the VS-646 switches during the vertical interval, transitions are glitch-free when sources share a common reference sync. There are many updated features on this popular design including audio breakaway, which provides the ability to switch audio independently from video. Six preset memory locations are provided for quick access to common configurations. Also, the TAKE button allows the user to place multiple switches in a queue, then activate them with one touch of this button. Kramer’s K-Router control software is included for applications where a Windows® - based PC is used to control the VS-646. There are a total of three ways to control the VS-646; front - panel buttons, RS-232, and RS-485. It is dependable, rugged, and fits in two vertical spaces of a standard 19” rack. Video bandwidth of 200MHz ensures that the VS-646 remains transparent even in the most critical applications.
