Kramer VS-88HDxl 8x8 Matrix Switch for 3G HD–SDI

Kramer VS-88HDxl: Maximum performance in professional SDI signal distribution

The Kramer VS-88HDxl is the ideal solution for demanding users who require uncompromising broadcast-quality signal distribution. As a high-performance 3G HD-SDI matrix switcher, it enables the simultaneous switching of eight SDI inputs to eight outputs in real time. Whether in production studios or at complex live events, this device guarantees maximum reliability and signal purity.

Product highlights and features:

• 3 GBit/s maximum data rate: Supports state-of-the-art standards such as 3G HD-SDI and dual-link. This allows you to transmit high-resolution video signals with absolutely no loss and no jerkiness.
• Switching in the vertical blanking interval: Thanks to compliance with the SMPTE RP-168 standard, switching between sources with synchronised signals takes place without image interference or flashes.
• Intelligent signal equalisation: The device automatically compensates for signal loss over long cable runs, ensuring that your image quality remains brilliant even over long distances.
• Flexible control options: Operate the matrix directly via the front panel, over the network via Ethernet or professionally via RS-232/RS-485. This allows seamless integration into existing media control systems.
• Practical TAKE button and memory locations: Save complex switching states (salvos) and recall them at the touch of a button. This saves valuable time in stressful live situations.
• Multi-standard operation: Backward compatibility with SDI and HD-SDI ensures that you can operate both older existing devices and state-of-the-art equipment in parallel.
• Robust 19-inch design: With only one height unit (1U), the device saves space in the rack, while the included mounting brackets allow for immediate installation.

Conclusion

The Kramer VS-88HDxl is the heart of any professional video infrastructure, offering reliability and precise signal processing in accordance with SMPTE standards.
