Overview
The 6502 4x1 S/PDIF Switcher / DA is a small-sized but efficient switcher
and distributor for S/PDIF digital audio signals. The 6502:
Lets you select one of four S/PDIF digital audio signals and outputs that
signal simultaneously to two S/PDIF acceptors
Is compatible with EIAJ CP1201, IEC-60958, AES3id and S/PDIF
standards
Features a 32kHz to 192kHz sample frequency range
Includes equalizing and reclocking of incoming data for low jitter
recovery of the digital audio data stream
Is 5V DC fed and is housed in a DigiTOOLS® enclosure
Control the 6502 using the INPUT SELECTOR buttons, or remotely via:
RS-232 serial commands transmitted by a touch screen system, PC, or
other serial controller
The Kramer RC-IR2 Infrared remote control transmitter
To achieve the best performance:
Connect only good quality connection cables, thus avoiding interference,
deterioration in signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated noise
levels (often associated with low quality cables)
Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances and position
your 6502 away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust
Caution – No operator-serviceable parts inside unit.
Warning – Use only the Kramer Electronics input power
wall adapter that is provided with this unit1.
Warning – Disconnect power and unplug unit from wall
before installing or removing device or servicing unit.

Technical Specifications
5.1 Controlling via RS-232 (for example, using a PC)
To connect a PC to the 6502 unit, using the Null-modem adapter provided
with the machine (recommended):
Connect the RS-232 9-pin D-sub rear panel port on the 6502 unit to the
Null-modem adapter and connect the Null-modem adapter with a 9-wire
flat cable to the RS-232 9-pin D-sub port on your PC
To connect a PC to the 6502 unit, without using a Null-modem adapter:
Connect the RS-232 9-pin D-sub port on your PC to the RS-232 9-pin
D-sub rear panel port on the 6502 unit, as Figure 3 illustrates

Communication Protocol
The 6502 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.

1st 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).
2nd 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.
3rd BYTE:
Bit 7 – Defined as 1.
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.
4th 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 single machine controlled via the serial port, always set M4…M0 = 1, and make sure that the machine itself is
configured as MACHINE NUMBER = 1.

NOTES on the above table:
NOTE 2 - These are bi-directional 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
81
87
83
to the PC.
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
80
85
would be HEX codes
4B
80
81
85
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
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 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
81
82 (ie. request the number of outputs)
would be HEX codes
7E
82
90
82
ie. 16 outputs
