Overview
Congratulations on purchasing your Kramer VP-429H2 Automatic Video Switcher / Scaler .
VP-429H2 is a 4K@60Hz (4:4:4) scaler / switcher tool for HDMI
™, DisplayPort, VGA, and unbalanced audio signals. The unit scales the signal and outputs it on HDMI. Step-in functionality provides easy plug-and-play collaboration when connected to a switcher that supports Step-in over HDMI. It also features convenient RS-232 control of monitor or projector activation and supports Ethernet, contact closure switches and RS-232 control.
VP-429H2 provides exceptional quality, advanced and user-friendly operation, and flexible control.
Exceptional Quality
•
High-performance switcher/scaler – Scales signals of all standard resolutions up to 4K
(4:4:4) HDCP 2.2 for output to the HDMI output. Constant output sync prevents signal disruption when switching between inputs and when no video is detected.
•
HDMI support – Deep Color, x.v.Color as specified in HDMI 2.0.
•
Superior switching and signal control – Select automatic switching options using live input detection, enable or disable HDCP per input, copy and save the EDID to the inputs
(supported on HDMI and DisplayPort inputs), and define output refresh rate and aspect ratio.
•
Local Step-in switching – When used with a Step-in enabled switcher, just plug in your device and press the Step-in button or use the contact closure Step-in switch. Your device becomes the active signal on the main display.
Advanced and User-friendly Operation
•
Cost-effective and convenient control options – Local control via front panel input selection buttons and setup DIP-switches, Ethernet with embedded web pages, RS-232 serial ports for control of the unit and of a display via the unit, and GPI controls.
•
Easy installation – Compact MegaTOOLS® fan-less enclosure for surface mounting or side-by-side mounting of 2 units in a 1U rack space with the recommended rack adapter.
Flexible Connectivity
•
Diverse Inputs – 2 HDMI 4K@60Hz (4:4:4), 1 DisplayPort and 1 VGA input.
•
A USB port for firmware upgrade.

Upgrading the Firmware
The recommended method of upgrading VP-429H2 firmware is via the mini USB port 20 on
the rear panel (see Upgrading the Firmware via USB Port on page 31 .) Alternatively, you can
upgrade via the Device Settings web pages, but note that upgrading via the web is very slow.
(Typically, web upgrading takes about 10 minutes, while USB upgrading takes less than a minute).
To perform firmware upgrade:
1. In the Navigation pane, click Firmware Upgrade . The Firmware Upgrade page appears.
Figure 26: Firmware Upgrade Page
– Selecting the New Firmware File
2. Click No file chosen to select the new firmware file.

Upgrading the Firmware via USB
Port
You can upgrade VP-429H2 via the mini USB port 20 on the rear panel (recommended) or
via the Device Settings web pages (see Upgrading the Firmware on page 29 ).
The latest firmware version can be downloaded from the Kramer Web site at www.kramerav.com/downloads/VP-429H2 .
To upgrade the firmware via the mini USB port:
1. Download the firmware file and copy it to the root folder of a memory stick, formatted with FAT32 system.
2. Connect the memory stick to the mini USB port on the rear panel of the
VP-429H2 .
3. Press HDMI IN 1 on the front panel of the device for more than 15 seconds and then release.
The buttons light green until firmware upgrade process is complete, the device returns to normal operation mode and the buttons no longer light.
If there is a problem with the firmware file, all front-panel buttons light red, and the firmware upgrade is aborted.
4. Disconnect the memory stick.
5. Check that the firmware was updated (see Changing Device Settings on page 18 ).

Protocol 3000
Kramer devices can be operated using Kramer Protocol 3000 commands sent via serial or
Ethernet ports.
Understanding Protocol 3000
Protocol 3000 commands are a sequence of ASCII letters, structured according to the following.
•
Command format :
Prefix Command Name
# Command
Constant (Space) Parameter(s)
Parameter
Suffix
<CR>
•
Feedback format :
Prefix Device ID
~ nn
Constant
@
Command Name
Command
Parameter(s)
Parameter
Suffix
<CR><LF>
•
Command parameters – Multiple parameters must be separated by a comma (,). In addition, multiple parameters can be grouped as a single parameter using brackets ([ and ]).
•
Command chain separator character – Multiple commands can be chained in the same string. Each command is delimited by a pipe character (|).
•
Parameters attributes – Parameters may contain multiple attributes. Attributes are indicated with pointy brackets (<…>) and must be separated by a period (.).
The command framing varies according to how you interface with the VS-88UT . The following figure displays how the # command is framed using terminal communication software (such as Hercules):
