Kramer Introduces the VS-808TP 8X8 Twisted Pair Matrix SwitcherKramer Electronics introduces the high-performance VS-808TP 8X8 Twisted Pair Matrix Switcher for analog twisted pair signals. The VS-808TP features eight inputs and eight outputs for remote connection with compatible TP transmitters and receivers. The switcher is designed to work with the auto-adjusting TP-133/TP-134 transmitter/receiver pair. An additional, switchable VGA, stereo audio and RS-232 local input (built-in transmitter) and output (built-in receiver) allows direct connection of the signals (analog video up to WUXGA, audio, and RS-232) with these compatible units. The VS-808TP also includes audio-follow-video or breakaway switching for audio signals and 15 user-programmable presets for quick-change configurations. The VS-808TP is designed especially for presentation and multimedia installations where a high level of control possibilities are required from extended distances. It utilizes economical TP (twisted pair) cabling, which is commonly pre-installed in buildings, schools, hospitals, etc. The unit routes and distributes signals both from a local and/or remote source, at extended ranges of up to 200m (656'). Kramer recommends using Kramer BC-DGKat524, BC-DGKat623, and BC-DGKat7a23 cables for optimum range and performance. Using Kramer's TP-133 and TP-134 transmitter/receiver pair with a standard CAT-5 cable automatically makes the system equalize and de-skew the signal for different cable lengths. The two-line LCD display of the VS-808TP shows separate routing information of video, audio, or RS-232 signals. The unit is controlled via its front panel buttons, RS-232, RS-485, and Ethernet. The VS-808TP is a standard 1U 19" rack mount size and comes with included rack "ears." The VS-808TP is currently in stock and available from Kramer Electronics sales companies around the world.
