KRAMER:  SIMPLE CREATIVE TECHNOLOGY

 

Kramer Protocol 2000

9  Kramer Protocol 2000 

The 

VP-411DS

 is compatible with Kramer’s Protocol

1

Note: compatible with Kramer’s Protocol 2000 does not imply that a machine includes 
all of the commands below. Each machine uses a sub-set of Protocol 2000, according 
to its needs. 

 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.

 BYTE: 

Bit 7 – Defined as 0. 

D – “DESTINATION”: 

0 - for sending information to the switchers (from the PC); 

1 - for sending to the PC (from the switcher). 
N5…N0 – “INSTRUCTION” 
The function that is to be performed by the switcher(s) is defined by the INSTRUCTION (6 bits). Similarly, if a function is performed 
via the machine’s keyboard, then these bits are set with the INSTRUCTION NO., which was performed. The instruction codes are 
defined according to the table below (INSTRUCTION NO. is the value to be set for N5…N0).

 BYTE: 

 

Bit 7 – Defined as 1. 

 

 

I6…I0 – “INPUT”. 

When switching (ie. instruction codes 1 and 2), the INPUT (7 bits) is set as the input number which is to be switched. Similarly, if 
switching is done via the machine’s front-panel, then these bits are set with the INPUT NUMBER which was switched. For other 
operations, these bits are defined according to the table.

O6…O0 – “OUTPUT”. 

When switching (ie. instruction codes 1 and 2), the OUTPUT (7 bits) is set as the output number which is to be switched. Similarly, if 
switching is done via the machine’s front-panel, then these bits are set with the OUTPUT NUMBER which was switched. For other 
operations, these bits are defined according to the table.
