6.1 The PC and DVD Modes
The
VS-41HDCP
has two operation modes that are specific per input: the PC mode (which is the factory default) and the DVD mode. The PC mode is used when connecting a computer or several computers to one or more of the inputs.
The DVD mode is used when connecting a DVD or several DVDs to the inputs.
The PC mode and the DVD mode can be applied to a single input or to several inputs. For example, if you want to connect a computer to INPUT 1, another computer to INPUT 2, and DVD machines to INPUT 3 and INPUT 4, set INPUT 1 and INPUT 2 to the PC mode and INPUT 3 and INPUT 4 to the DVD mode.
To set the inputs to either the PC or DVD mode, do the following:
1. Turn off the POWER.
2. Press the PANEL LOCK button while turning the POWER on again.
3. Keep pressing and holding the PANEL LOCK button for a few seconds and then release it.
The LOCK button blinks.
If an input button illuminates, this indicates that that input is set to the DVD mode.
If an input button is not illuminated, this indicates that that input is set to the
PC mode.

10.2.2 Command Part Details
Command
:
Sequence of ASCII letters ('A'-'Z', 'a'-'z' and '-').
Command will separate from parameters with at least single space.
Parameters
:
Sequence of Alfa-Numeric ASCII chars ('0'-'9','A'-'Z','a'-'z' and some special chars for specific commands), parameters will be separated by commas.
Message string
:
Every command must to be entered as part of message string that begin with message starting char and end with message closing char, note that string can contain more then one command separated by pipe ("|") char.
Message starting char
:
'#' for host command\query.
'~' for machine response.
Device address (Optional, for Knet):
Knet Device ID follow by '@' char.
Query sign = '?', will follow after some commands to define query request.
Message closing char =
Host messages - Carriage Return (ASCII 13), will be referred to by CR in this document.
Machine messages - Carriage Return (ASCII 13) + Line-Feed (ASCII 10), will be referred to by CRLF.
Spaces between parameters or command parts will be ignored.
Commands chain separator char
:
When message string contains more than one command, commands will be separated by pipe ("|").
Commands entering
:
If terminal software used to connect over serial \ ethernet \ USB port, that possible to directly enter all commands characters (CR will be entered by Enter key, that key send also LF, but this char will be ignored by commands parser).
Sending commands from some controllers (like Crestron) require coding some characters in special form (like \X##). Anyway, there is a way to enter all ASCII characters, so it is possible to send all commands also from controller.
(Similar way can use for URL \ Telnet support that maybe will be added in future).
Commands forms
:
Some commands have short name syntax beside the full name to allow faster typing, response is always in long syntax.
Command chaining
:
It is possible to enter multiple commands in same string by '|' char (pipe).
In this case the message starting char and the message closing char will be entered just one time, in the string beginning and at the end.
All the commands in string will not execute until the closing char will be entered.
Separate response will be sent for every command in the chain.
Input string max length
:
64 characters.
Backward support
:
Design note: Transparent support for Protocol 2000 will be implemented by switch Protocol command from Protocol 3000 to Protocol 2000, in Protocol 2000 there is already such a command to switch
Protocol to ASCII Protocol (#56 : H38 H80 H83 H81).

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

– Sends information to the switchers (from the PC)

N5…N0 – INSTRUCTION
The 6-bit INSTRUCTION defines the function performed by the switcher(s). If a function is performed using the machine’s keyboard, these bits are set with the INSTRUCTION NO. performed. The instruction codes are defined according to the table below (INSTRUCTION NO. is the value set in
N5…N0).
2nd Byte: Bit 7
– Defined as 1
I6…I0 – INPUT
When switching (i.e. instruction codes 1 and 2), the 7-bit INPUT is set as the input number to be switched. If switching is done using the machine’s front panel, these bits are set with the INPUT NUMBER switched. For other operations, these bits are defined according to the table.
3rd Byte: Bit 7
– Defined as 1
O6…O0 – OUTPUT
When switching (i.e. instruction codes 1 and 2), the 7-bit OUTPUT is set as the output number to be switched. If switching is done using the machine’s front panel, these bits are set with the OUTPUT NUMBER switched. For other operations, these bits are defined according to the table.
4th Byte: Bit 7
– Defined as 1
Bit 5
– Don’t care
OVR
– Machine number override
M4…M0 – MACHINE NUMBER
This byte is used to address machines in a system by their machine numbers. When several machines are controlled from a single serial port, they are usually configured together and each machine has an individual machine number. If the OVR bit is set, then all machine numbers accept (implement) the command and the addressed machine replies.
When a single machine is controlled over the serial por t, always set M4…M0 to 1, and make sure that the machine itself is configured as MACHINE NUMBER = 1.

NOTES on the above table:
NOTE 1
- When the master switcher is reset, (e.g. when it is turned on), the reset code is sent to the PC. If this code is sent to the switchers, it will reset according to the present power-down settings.
NOTE 2
- These are bidirectional definitions. That is, if the switcher receives the code, it will perform the instruction; and if the instruction is performed (due to a keystroke operation on the front panel), then these codes are sent. For example, if the HEX code
01 85 88 83 was sent from the PC, then the switcher (machine 3) will switch input 5 to output 8. If the user switched input 1 to output 7 via the front panel keypad, then the switcher will send HEX codes:
41 to the PC.
81 87 83
VS-41HDCP - Kramer Protocol
33
33
34
When the PC sends one of the commands in this group to the switcher, then, if the instruction is valid, the switcher replies by sending to the PC the same four bytes that it was sent (except for the first byte, where the
DESTINATION bit is set high).
NOTE 3
- SETUP # 0 is the present setting. SETUP # 1 and higher are the settings saved in the switcher's memory, (i.e. those used for Store and Recall).
NOTE 4
- The reply to a "REQUEST" instruction is as follows: the same instruction and INPUT codes as were sent are returned, and the OUTPUT is assigned the value of the requested parameter. The replies to instructions 10 and 11 are as per the definitions in instructions 7 and 8 respectively. For example, if the present status of machine number 5 is breakaway setting, then the reply to the HEX code
0B 80 would be HEX codes
4B 80
80
81
85
85
NOTE 9
- An error code is returned to the PC if an invalid instruction code was sent to the switcher, or if a parameter associated with the instruction is out of range (e.g. trying to save to a setup greater than the highest one, or trying to switch an input or output greater than the highest one defined). This code is also returned to the PC if an RS-232 instruction is sent while the machine is being programmed via the front panel. Reception of this code by the switcher is not valid.
NOTE 10
– This code is reserved for internal use.
NOTE 13
- 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, 2, 5 or 7, 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 byte).
96 90 81 (i.e. 128dec+ 22dec for 2nd byte, and 128dec+ 16dec for 3rd
If the request for identification is sent with the INPUT set as 3 or 4, the appropriate machine will send its software version number. Again, the reply would be the decimal value of the INPUT and OUTPUT - the INPUT representing the number in front of the decimal point, and the OUTPUT representing the number after it. For example, for version 3.5, the reply to the request to send the version number would be (HEX codes):
7D 83 85 81 (i.e. 128dec+ 3dec for 2nd byte, 128dec+ 5dec for 3rd byte).
If the OUTPUT is set as 1, then the ASCII coding of the lettering following the machine’s name is sent. For example, for the VS-7588YC, the reply to the request to send the first suffix would be (HEX codes):
7D D9 C3
81 (i.e. 128dec+ ASCII for “Y”; 128dec+ ASCII for “C”).
NOTE 14
- The number of inputs and outputs refers to the specific machine which is being addressed, not to the system. For example, if six 16X16 matrices are configured to make a 48X32 system (48 inputs, 32 outputs), the reply to the HEX code
3E 82 would be HEX codes
7E 82
81
90
82 (ie. request the number of outputs)
82 ie. 16 outputs
NOTE 16
-
The reply to the “REQUEST WHETHER PANEL IS LOCKED” is as in NOTE 4 above, except that here the OUTPUT is assigned with the value 0 if the panel is unlocked, or 1 if it is locked.
NOTE 19
– After this instruction is sent, the unit will respond to the ASCII command set defined by the
OUTPUT byte. The ASCII command to operate with the HEX command set must be sent in order to return to working with HEX codes.
NOTE 25
– For units which detect the validity of the video inputs, Instruction 16 will be sent whenever the unit detects a change in the state of an input (in real-time).
For example, if input 3 is detected as invalid, the unit will send the HEX codes
10 83 84 81
If input 7 is detected as valid, then the unit will send HEX codes
10 87 85 81.
