Overview  
The VS-6EIII is a high quality 4x4 Video Audio Matrix Switcher for  
composite video and audio stereo signals. It is a true matrix switcher, letting  
you simultaneously route any input to any or all outputs. In particular, the  
VS-6EIII 4x4 Video Audio Matrix Switcher features:  
4 rotary input selector knobs  
Automatic switching of the stereo audio signals with the video  
signals (audio-follow-video), when switching an input to an output  
To achieve the best performance:  
Use only good quality connection cables1 to avoid interference,  
deterioration in signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated  
noise levels (often associated with low quality cables).  
Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may  
adversely influence signal quality and position your Kramer  
VS-6EIII away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust
