Vertical Interval Switchers

The Kramer VS-1201xl is a high performance vertical interval switcher for composite video and stereo audio signals. One of 12 sources can be routed to one monitor, VCR, or other receiving device. Since switching is performed during the vertical interval, transitions are glitch-free when sources share a common reference sync. There are four ways to control the VS-1201xl: front panel buttons, RS-232, RS-485, and contact closure. It is designed to be combined for easy expansion of larger switching systems as well.

Typical Applications

• Video production studios


• Live broadcast, for switching between cameras in real-time


• CCTV and home theater systems
