2.1 Achieving the Best Performance
To achieve the best performance:
Use only good quality connection cables (we recommend Kramer highperformance, high-resolution cables) to avoid interference, deterioration in signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated noise levels (often associated with low quality cables)
Do not secure the cables in tight bundles or roll the slack into tight coils
Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may adversely influence signal quality
Position your Kramer VP-440 away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust
This equipment is to be used only inside a building. It may only be connected to other equipment that is installed inside a building.

3.1 Using Twisted Pair Cable for HDBT
Kramer engineers have developed special twisted pair cables to best match our digital twisted pair products;
BC−HDKat6a
(CAT 6 23 AWG cable) significantly outperforms regular CAT 5 / CAT 6 cables.
We strongly recommend that you use shielded twisted pair cable.

4 Connecting the VP-440
Always switch off the power to each device before connecting it to your VP-440. After connecting your VP-440, connect its power and then switch on the power to each device.
You do not have to connect all the inputs and outputs, connect only those that are required.
To connect the VP-440, as illustrated in the example in Figure 3 , do the following:
1. Connect an HDMI source (for example, a BluRay disk player) to the HDMI 1
(H1) VIDEO INPUT connector (from 1 to 4).
Alternatively, you can connect the DVI connector on the DVD player to the HDMI connector on the VP-440 via a DVI-HDMI adapter. When using this adapter, you can connect the audio signal via the terminal block connector
2. Connect a computer graphics source to the PC 1 15-pin HD VIDEO INPUT connector (from 1 to 2).
3. Connect the audio input signals to the AUDIO INPUT 3.5mm mini jack
connectors, as required (not shown in Figure 3 ).
4. Connect the HDMI OUT connector to an HDMI acceptor (for example, an
LCD display).
5. Connect the HDBT OUT connector to an HDBT receiver (for example, the output of TP-580R connected to HDBT).
6. Connect the AUDIO OUT 3.5mm mini jack connector to an unbalanced stereo
audio acceptor (not shown in Figure 3 ).
7. On the front panel, connect a microphone to the MIC 6.5mm phone jack and set it to condenser or dynamic type.
8. Connect the power cord (not shown in Figure 3 ).

MIC MODE - set the mode to OFF, MIXER, TALKOVER or MIC ONLY.
When in TALKOVER mode, set the:
DEPTH [%] – to determine the decrease of the audio level during microphone 1 takeover (press + to further decrease the talkover audio output level; press – to lessen the talkover output audio decrease level)
TRIGGER [dB] – to determine the microphone threshold level that triggers the audio output-level decrease.
ATTACK TIME – to set the transition time of the audio level reduction after the signal rises above the threshold level
HOLD TIME – to define the time period talkover remains active although the signal falls below the threshold level (for a short period of time)
RELEASE TIME – to define the transition time for the audio level to return from its reduced level to its normal level after the Hold Time period
Set the microphone volume for MIC
Dynamic Range Compression – allows a dynamic volume range. Set to ON to dynamically create a sound range according to the volume level. For example, in a movie the volume will be high enough to hear the dialogues and at the same time loud explosions and sudden noises in the soundtrack will be toned down so others would not be disturbed.
Select the HDCP option for the HDMI inputs (1 to 4): either ON (the default) or OFF.
Setting HDCP support to disabled (OFF) on the HDMI input allows the source to transmit a non-HDCP signal if required (for example, when working with a Mac computer)
Set HDMI OUT and HDBT OUT:
Select FOLLOW INPUT or FOLLOW OUTPUT to define whether the
HDCP will follow the input or the output
When FOLLOW INPUT is selected, it changes its HDCP output setting (for the HDMI output) according to the HDCP of the input. This option is recommended when the HDMI/HDCP output is connected to a splitter/switcher
When FOLLOW OUTPUT is selected, the scaler matches its HDCP output to the HDCP setting of the HDMI/HDCP acceptor to which it is connected
Turn to OFF (disable the AUTO SYNC OFF feature), FAST (for almost immediate shut down if no input is present – about 10 seconds) or SLOW
(for shutdown after about 2 minutes).
This is useful, for example, when the output is connected to a projector, and the projector will automatically shut down when it has no input

5.5 Controlling the VP-440 via the REMOTE Terminal Block
Connector
The REMOTE terminal block connectors include six input pins (H1 to H4 and PC1 to
PC2) and a G pin for selecting an input.
The contact closure remote control pins operate in a similar way to the INPUT buttons (see
). Using the contact closure remote control (also known as
push-to-make momentary contact) you can select any of the inputs. To do so, momentarily connect the required input pin on the INPUT SELECT terminal block
connector to the G (Ground) pin of the REMOTE terminal block connector, as Figure
Do not connect more than one input PIN to the GND PIN at the same time.

8 The RS-232/Ethernet (UDP) Communication
Protocol
The VP-440 can be operated using serial commands from a PC, remote controller, or touch screen. The unit communicates using the default Kramer Protocol 3000.
Kramer Protocol 3000 syntax (see
Kramer Protocol 3000 commands (see
Kramer Protocol 3000 detailed commands (See
8.1 Kramer Protocol 3000 Syntax
Protocol 3000 communicates at a data rate of 9,600 baud, no parity, 8 data bits and
1 stop bit.
8.1.1 Host Message Format

Device Long Response
Echoing command:
Start
~
Address (optional) Body

CR = Carriage return (ASCII 13 = 0x0D)
LF = Line feed (ASCII 10 = 0x0A)
SP = Space (ASCII 32 = 0x20)
8.1.3 Command Terms
Command
A sequence of ASCII letters ('A'-'Z', 'a'-'z' and '-').
Command and parameters must be separated by at least one space. delimiter
CR LF
Delimiter
CR LF
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. Commands are separated by a pipe ( '|' ) character.
Message starting character
'#' – For host command/query
'~' – For machine response
Device address (Optional, for K-NET)
K-NET Device ID followed by '@'
Query sign
'?' follows some commands to define a query request.
36 VP-440 - The RS-232/Ethernet (UDP) Communication Protocol
Message closing character
CR – For host messages; carriage return (ASCII 13)
CRLF – 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.
8.1.4 Entering Commands
You can directly enter all commands using a terminal with ASCII communications software, such as HyperTerminal, Hercules, etc. Connect the terminal to the serial or
Ethernet port on the Kramer device. To enter CR press the Enter key.
( LF is also sent but is ignored by command parser).
For commands sent from some non-Kramer controllers like Crestron, some characters require special coding (such as, /X##). Refer to the controller manual.
8.1.5 Command Forms
Some commands have short name syntax in addition to long name syntax to allow faster typing. The response is always in long syntax.
8.1.6 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 only once, 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.
8.1.7 Maximum String Length
64 characters
