6 Principles of Operation
This section describes the operating theory of the VS-62HA and includes:
Automatic signal detection (see Section
Input switching modes (see Section
6.1 Automatic Signal Detection
The VS-62HA can automatically detect the presence of a video signal on an input based on the presence of a video sync or clock signal.
6.2 Input Switching Modes
6.2.1 Manual Mode
In Manual switching mode, routing is performed according to the front panel button selection or according to the remote command selection.
6.2.2 Automatic Mode
Automatic switching can be performed in either of the following ways:
Input priority. Upon detection of an active input, the input with the highest priority is automatically selected. Input priority is from the lowest input number (1) to the highest (6)
Last Connected. The device automatically selects the most recently connected input. Should this source become inactive, the device automatically switches to the last connected input that was active. When turning the device on and more than one input is active, the input with the highest priority is selected
If a manual selection is made when the device is in Automatic mode, the device enters Manual Override mode. The manually selected input remains selected as long as it is active. When a manually selected input becomes inactive, the device returns to Automatic mode.
VS-62HA - Principles of Operation 17
6.3 EDID Operation
The VS-62HA has a default EDID (see
EDID can be exchanged for either:
A custom EDID which is uploaded to one or more inputs using Protocol
3000 commands (see
–OR–
The EDID of a display device connected to an output by using either the front panel buttons (see
), a Protocol 3000 command, or the
Web pages
The EDID is non-volatile and the last valid EDID is used when the device is powered up.
6.4 Step-in Functionality
The VS-62HA can function as a step-in switcher when connected to a suitable
HDMI transmitter, (for example, the SID-X3N), using the correct HDMI cable with HEC support.
Use the Web pages (see
) to assign remote device button actions.
The default button actions are shown in the following table. Up to three buttons can be active at the same time.

14 Protocol 3000 Syntax
With Kramer Protocol 3000 you can control a device from any standard terminal software (for example, the Windows® HyperTerminal Application) or from TCP/UDP clients connected to default TCP port 5000 or UDP port 50000
(port numbers can been changed by the user). RS-232/RS-485 communications protocol uses a data rate of 115200 bps, no parity, 8 data bits, and 1 stop bit.

CR = Carriage return (ASCII 13 = 0x0D)
LF = Line feed (ASCII 10 = 0x0A)
SP = Space (ASCII 32 = 0x20)
14.3 Command Terms
Command
A sequence of ASCII letters ('A'-'Z', 'a'-'z' and '-').
Command and parameters must be separated by at least one space.
42
Parameters
A sequence of alphameric ASCII characters ('0'-'9','A'-'Z','a'-'z' and some special characters for specific commands). Parameters are separated by commas.
Message string
Every command entered as part of a message string begins with a message
starting character and ends with a message closing character.
Note: A string can contain more than one command. Multiple commands are separated by a pipe ('|') character.
Message starting character
'#' - For host command/query
'~' - For machine response or machine command performed by keystroke operation on the front panel or IR remote controller.
Device address (Optional when directly connected to the device)
K-Net Device ID or MACHINE NUMBER followed by '@'
(ex. #02@CR LF )
Query sign
'?' follows some commands to define a query request.
All outputs sign
'*' defines all outputs.
Message closing character
CR - For host messages; carriage return (ASCII 13)
VS-62HA - Protocol 3000 Syntax
CR LF - For machine messages; carriage return (ASCII 13) + line-feed (ASCII
10)
Command chain separator character
When a message string contains more than one command, a pipe ('|') character separates each command.
Spaces between parameters or command terms are ignored.
14.4 Entering Commands
You can directly enter all commands using a terminal with ASCII communication software, such as HyperTerminal, Hercules, etc. Connect the terminal to the serial, Ethernet, or USB port on the Kramer device. To enter CR, press the Enter key. (LF is also sent but is ignored by the command parser).
For commands sent from some non-Kramer controllers such as Crestron, some characters require special coding (such as, /X##). Refer to the controller manual.
14.5 Bidirectional Definition
All commands are bidirectional. That is, if the device receives the code, it performs the instruction. If the instruction is performed (due to a keystroke operation on the front panel or IR controller) these codes are sent to the PC or other RS-232 / Ethernet / USB controller.
14.6 Command Chaining
Multiple commands can be chained in the same string. Each command is delimited by a pipe character ('|'). When chaining commands, enter the
message starting character and the message closing character once only, at the beginning of the string and at the end.
Commands in the string do not execute until the closing character is entered. A separate response is sent for every command in the chain.
VS-62HA - Protocol 3000 Syntax 43
14.7 Maximum String Length
64 characters (except for special commands that are defined in the command syntax description).

Parameters
dst_type - EDID destination type (usually input) (see
dest_bitmask - bitmap representing destination IDs. Format: 0x********, where * is ASCII presentation of hex digit. The binary presentation of this number is a bit mask for destinations. Set ting ‘1’ means EDID data has to be copied to this destination
size - EDID data size
safe_mode - 0 - Device accepts the EDID as is without trying to adjust
1 - Device tries to adjust the EDID
EDID_DATA - data in protocol packets (see
Response Triggers
Response is sent to the com port from which the Set (before execution)
Notes
When the unit receives the LDEDID command it replies with READY and enters the special EDID packet wait mode. In this mode the unit can receive only packets and not regular protocol commands.
If the unit does not receive correct packets for 30 seconds or is interrupted for more than 30 seconds before receiving all packets, it sends timeout error ~nn@LDEDID␠ERR01␍␊ and returns to the regular protocol mode. If the unit received data that is not a correct packet, it sends the corresponding error and returns to the regular protocol mode.

17 Packet Protocol Structure
The packet protocol is designed to transfer large amounts of data, such as files, IR commands, EDID data, etc.
17.1 Using the Packet Protocol
To use the packet protocol:
10. Send a command: LDRV, LOAD, IROUT, LDEDID
11. Receive Ready or ERR###
12. If Ready:
Send a packet
Receive OK on the last packet
Receive OK for the command
13. Packet structure:
Packet ID (1, 2, 3…) (2 bytes in length)
Length (data length + 2 for CRC) - (2 bytes in length)
Data (data length -2 bytes)
CRC - 2 bytes
01 02
Packet ID
03
Length
04 05…
Data CRC
14. Response:
~NNNNSPOKCR LF
Where NNNN is the received packet ID in ASCII hex digits.

17.2 Calculating the CRC
The polynomial for the 16-bit CRC is:
CRC-CCITT: 0x1021 = x
16
+ x
12
+ x
5
+ 1
Initial value: 0000
Final XOR Value: 0
For a code example, see: http://sanity-free.org/133/crc_16_ccitt_in_csharp.html
CRC example:
Data = “123456789”
Result => 0x31C3
