Step 3: Install the VSM-4x4A
To rack mount the machine attach both ear brackets to the machine (by removing the three screws
from each side of the machine and replacing those screws through the ear brackets) or place the
machine on a table.
Step 4: Connect one of the four operation modes
Always switch OFF the power on each device before connecting it to your VSM-4x4A. For best results, we recommend that you always
use Kramer high-performance cables to connect AV equipment to the VSM-4x4A.
The VSM-4x4A is a four-in-one-box device and can operate as a matrix switcher, video wall, dual switcher or quad switcher.
Each of these modes includes several setup options as follows.
Mode Optional Setups
MATRIX Seamless Matrix – 4x4 matrix switcher. The same output resolution is set for all the outputs and video switching
transitions are seamless (zero-time video cuts).
Independent Matrix – 4x4 matrix switcher. Each output resolution is set independently and video switching
transitions are done via a clean, fade-through-black mechanism.
VIDEO WALL 2x2 – The output is displayed on a set of 4 monitors tiled in a 2x2 setting to form a large display. Each output shows
one quarter of the image.
1x4 – The output is displayed on a set of 4 monitors tiled in a 1x4 (1 column x 4 rows). The image can be cropped
and positioned as desired.
DUAL 4x2 switcher that outputs 2 identical A outputs and 2 identical B outputs.
POP (side-by-side) – Each A and B type outputs shows 2 images side-by-side (left and right).
PiP
(picture-in-picture) – Each A and B type outputs shows 2 images one over the other (main and pip).
QUAD
Any four inputs on one screen for each of the four outputs. Each quarter of a screen shows a selected input.

Step 5: Connect the power
Connect AC power to the rear of the VSM-4x4A, switch on its power and then switch on the power on each device.

Step 6: Set operation parameters via OSD menu
Menu Function
Enter the OSD menu via the MENU button on the
front panel or the IR remote control transmitter.
Select a menu item and set parameters as
required. By default, the output resolution is set to
Native, the VSM-4x4A is triggered to read the
EDID of OUTPUT A and change the output
resolution value according to the native resolution
of the display.
Mode Set the operation mode: matrix switcher (seamless or
independent), video wall (2x2 or 1x4), Dual (POP or PIP) or
Quad mode.
Picture Set the picture parameters per operation mode (contrast,
brightness saturation and hue): matrix mode (same for all
outputs), video wall (separate for each output), DUAL
(separate for left (main) and right (PIP), QUAD (separate for
each QUAD).
If you cannot see any images, verify that the
display, TV, or projector is in good working order
and is connected to the VSM-4x4A. If you still do
not see an image, press and hold the RESET TO
XGA/1080p button for about 4 seconds to reset
the outputs to XGA or 1080p resolution.
Output Set the output parameters: resolution, aspect ratio, border
color, input and output labels, bezel correction, and so on.
EDID
Manage EDID: per video input as well as audio EDID.
Source Set the input source parameters: matrix mode (any input to
any output), video wall (one input to all outputs), DUAL (an
input for for left (main) and an input for right (PIP), QUAD (any
input for each QUAD).
Recall/ Store Store and recall setups: store/recall up to 4 setups for each
operation mode.
HDCP
Set the HDCP: for each input and each output.
Other settings: set the power-save mode, the output audio level, the OSD
definitions and Ethernet parameters; perform reset to factory default values and
view device information.
