Kramer Protocol 2000 1 9 Kramer Protocol 2000 The VP-411DS is compatible with Kramer’s Protocol 2000 (version 0.50) (below). This RS-232/RS-485 communication protocol uses four bytes of information as defined below. For RS-232, a null-modem connection between the machine and controller is used. The default data rate is 9600 baud, with no parity, 8 data bits and 1 stop bit. Note: compatible with Kramer’s Protocol 2000 does not imply that a machine includes all of the commands below. Each

Kramer Protocol 2000 th 4 BYTE: Bit 7 – Defined as 1. Bit 5 – Don’t care. OVR – Machine number override. M4…M0 – MACHINE NUMBER. Used to address machines in a system via their machine numbers. When several machines are controlled from a single serial port, they are usually configured together with each machine having an individual machine number. If the OVR bit is set, then all machine numbers will accept (implement) the command, and the addressed machine will reply. For a

Kramer Protocol 2000 NOTE 5 - This is a request to identify the switcher/s in the system. If the OUTPUT is set as 0, and the INPUT is set as 1 the machine will send its name. The reply is the decimal value of the INPUT and OUTPUT. For example, for a 2216, the reply to the request to send the audio machine name would be (HEX codes): 7D 96 90 81 (i.e. 128dec+ 22dec for 2nd byte, and 128dec+ 16dec for 3rd byte). If the request for identification is sent with the INPUT set as 3 the appropr
