VS-211XS, VS-411XS – Introduction
Introduction
Welcome to Kramer Electronics! Since 1981, Kramer Electronics has been providing a world
of unique, creative, and affordable solutions to the vast range of problems that confront the
video, audio, presentation, and broadcasting professional on a daily basis. In recent years, we
have redesigned and upgraded most of our line, making the best even better!
This user manual describes VS-211XS and VS-411XS. These devices are identical except
for the number of their inputs. Note that whenever VS-411XS is used in the user manual, it
also refers to VS-211XS, unless specified otherwise. (A device is named specifically only
when a device-specific feature is described).
Getting Started
We recommend that you:
• Unpack the equipment carefully and save the original box and packaging materials for
possible future shipment.
• Review the contents of this user manual.
Go to www.kramerav.com/downloads/VS-211XS or www.kramerav.com/downloads/VS-
211XS to check for up-to-date user manuals, application programs, and to check if
firmware upgrades are available (where appropriate).
Achieving Best Performance
• Use only good quality connection cables (we recommend Kramer high-performance,
high-resolution cables) to avoid interference, deterioration in signal quality due to poor
matching, and elevated noise levels (often associated with low quality cables).
• Do not secure the cables in tight bundles or roll the slack into tight coils.
• Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may adversely influence
signal quality.
• Position your Kramer VS-411XS away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust.
