5 Principles of Operation
This section describes the operating theory of the VS-42UHD and includes:
•
Automatic signal detection (see Section 5.1
•
Input switching modes (see Section 5.2
•
EDID operation (see Section 5.3
5.1 Automatic Signal Detection
The VS-42UHD can automatically detect the presence of a video signal on an input based on the presence of a video sync or clock signal.
5.2 Input Switching Modes
5.2.1 Manual Mode
In Manual switching mode, routing is performed according to the front panel button selection or according to the remote command selection.
5.2.2 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 (4)
•
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.
14 VS-42UHD - Principles of Operation
5.3 EDID Operation
The VS-42UHD has a default EDID (see
Section 12 ) stored on all inputs. This 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.
5.4 Step-in Functionality
The VS-42UHD can function as a step-in switcher when connected to a suitable
HDMI transmitter, (for example, the SID-X3N, DIP-30 or DIP-31) 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.

36 VS-42UHD - Default EDID
13 Protocol 3000
The VS-42UHD can be operated using the Kramer Protocol 3000 serial commands. The command framing varies according to how you interface with the
VS-42UHD. For example, a basic video input switching command that routes a
layer 1 video signal to HDMI out 1 from HDMI input 2 (ROUTE 1,1,2), is entered as follows:
•
Terminal communication software, such as Hercules:
The framing of the command varies according to the terminal communication software.
•
K-Touch Builder (Kramer software):
VS-42UHD - Protocol 3000 37
•
K-Config (Kramer configuration software):
All the examples provided in this section are based on using the
K-Config software.
You can enter commands directly using terminal communication software (e.g.,
Hercules) by connecting a PC to the serial or Ethernet port on the VS-42UHD. To enter CR press the Enter key (LF is also sent but is ignored by the command parser).
Commands sent from various non-Kramer controllers (e.g., Crestron) may require special coding for some characters (such as, /X##). For more information, refer to your controller’s documentation.
For more information about:
•
Understanding Protocol 3000, see
•
General syntax used for Protocol 3000 commands, see
•
Protocol 3000 commands available for the VS-42UHD, see
13.1 Understanding Protocol 3000
Protocol 3000 commands are structured according to the following:
•
Command – A sequence of ASCII letters (A-Z, a-z and -). A command and
its parameters must be separated by at least one space.
•
Parameters – A sequence of alphanumeric 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.
38 VS-42UHD - Protocol 3000
A string can contain more than one command. Commands are separated by a pipe (|) character.
The maximum string length is 64 characters.
•
Message starting character:
#
– For host command/query
~
– For device response
•
Device address – K-NET Device ID followed by @ (optional, K-NET only)
•
Query sign – ? follows some commands to define a query request
•
Message closing character:
CR
– Carriage return for host messages (ASCII 13)
CR LF
– Carriage return for device messages (ASCII 13) and line-feed
(ASCII 10)
•
Command chain separator character – 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 only at the beginning and end of the string.
Spaces between parameters or command terms are ignored.
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-42UHD - Protocol 3000 39
13.2 Kramer Protocol 3000 Syntax
The Kramer Protocol 3000 syntax uses the following delimiters:
•
CR
= Carriage return (ASCII 13 = 0x0D)
•
LF
= Line feed (ASCII 10 = 0x0A)
•
SP
= Space (ASCII 32 = 0x20)
Some commands have short name syntax in addition to long name syntax to enable faster typing. The response is always in long syntax.
The Protocol 3000 syntax is in the following format:
•
Host Message Format:
Start Address (optional)
#
Device_id@
Body
Message
Start
#
Delimiter
CR
•
Simple Command – Command string with only one command without
addressing:
Body
Command SP Parameter_1,Parameter_2,…
Delimiter
CR
•
Command String – Formal syntax with command concatenation and
addressing:
Start Address
#
Device_id@
Body
Command_1 Parameter1_1,Parameter1_2,…|
Command_2 Parameter2_1,Parameter2_2,…|
Command_3
Parameter3_1,Parameter3_2,…|…
Delimiter
CR
•
Device Message Format:
Start Address (optional)
~
Device_id@
Body
Message
Delimiter
CR LF
•
Device Long Response – Echoing command:
Start Address (optional)

Response
~nn@CPEDIDSPsrc_type,src_id,dst_type,dest_bitmap CR LF
Parameters
src_type
– EDID source type (usually output): 0 (input), 1 (output), 2 (default EDID)
src_id
– for input source: 1 (HDMI In 1), 2 (HDMI In 2), 3 (HDMI In 3), 4 (HDMI In 4), for output source:
1
(HDMI Out 1), 2 (HDMI Out 2), for default EDID source: 0 (default EDID)
dst_type
– EDID destination type (usually input): 0 (input), 1 (output), 2 (default EDID)
dest_bitmap
– bitmap representing destination IDs. Format: XXXX…X, where X is hex digit. The binary form of every hex digit represents corresponding destinations. Setting ‘1’ indicates that EDID data is copied to this destination. Setting ‘0’ indicates that EDID data is not copied to this destination.
Response Triggers
Response is sent to the com port from which the Set was received (before execution)
Notes
Destination bitmap size depends on device properties (for 64 inputs it is a 64-bit word)
Example: bitmap 0x0013 means inputs 1, 2 and 5 are loaded with the new EDID.
In this device, if the destination type is input (0), the bitmap size is 3 bits, for example bitmap 0x5 means inputs 1 and 3 are loaded with the new EDID.
K-Config Example
Copy the EDID data from the HDMI Out output (EDID source) to the HDMI In 1 input:
“#CPEDID 1,1,0,0x1”,0x0D
Copy the EDID data from the default EDID source to HDMI In 1 and PC In inputs:
“#CPEDID 2,0,0,0x5”,0x0D
