3 Overview The KramerTOOLS 4x1V and 4x1VB are high-quality 4x1 mechanical switchers designed for composite video signals using RCA or BNC connectors. They accept up to four inputs and let you select any input to be routed to one output using buttons located on the front panel. High-quality switching components ensure minimal crosstalk and a high bandwidth of 400MHz (-3dB). The entirely passive design of the 4x1V and 4x1VB eliminates the need for a power supply.

4 Connecting and Operating the 4x1V and 4x1VB To connect the 4x1V and 4x1VB as illustrated in the example in Figure 2: 1. Connect up to four composite video sources to the IN 1 to IN 4 connectors (for example, composite video players). You do not have to connect all inputs. 2. Connect the OUTPUT connector to a composite video acceptor (for example, a composite video recorder). i Note: The 4x1V uses RCA connectors. The 4x1VB uses BNC connectors.
