LCD assignments
Left (large)
This shows the current switcher’s status. If several units are connected and
installed in the VS-3000, the status displayed in this window is that of the
switcher indicated in the right-hand (small) window.
For matrices with less than 16 outputs, each output has its own fixed position
in the left-hand LCD, marked on the front panel. The number of the input
connected to an output is displayed in the position designated for that output.
For matrices with more than 16 outputs, the outputs do not have fixed positions
in the left-hand LCD. In this case, the small right-hand LCD indicates which
outputs are bing displayed.
For switchers with only one output, all the inputs are displayed, and the input which is
connected to the output flashes.
For some speciallized switchers (for example, the VP-23 presentation switcher) the
above description is not relevant. In these cases, the unit makes the best possible
adaption of its architecture to represent the switcher, in a manner which is easily
understood by the user.
Right (small)
This shows the current machine’s model and number. If several machines are
controlled using the VS-3000, the “current machine” is the one which is presently
selected. It can be controlled with the pushbuttons of the VS-3000 and its status is
displayed in the left-hand LCD. For matrices / switchers with more than 16 inputs and
outputs, the range of OUTs or INs displayed in the left-hand (large) window is
indicated in the bottom line of the small window.

Controller baud rate
It is possible to choose three baud rates for information exchange between the controller, the
controlled switchers, and the host PC. Carefully check the user manual of the Kramer switchers
to see which baud rate is permitted, and then set this rate for all the controllers and for the PC in
