6 Principles of Operation

6.1 Output Timeout

The device can automatically turn off the output after a definable interval following the loss of the input signal or unplugging of the input cable. The delay can be set in one of two ways:

  • Using the AV-SW-TIMEOUT Protocol 3000 command (see Section 11.2.1.2).
    • Using the TP-590Rxr embedded web-pages settings (see Section 8.2)

Kramer TP-590RXR - Output Timeout - 1

If you are working with a transmitter that supports setting a timeout (e.g., TP-590Txr), you need to set the 5V timer only on the receiver side.

6.2 Controlling A/V Equipment via an IR Remote Control

Since the IR connection between the transmitter TP-590Txr and TP-590Rxr receiver is bidirectional, you can use a remote control transmitter (that is used for controlling a peripheral device, for example, a Blu-ray disk player) to send commands from either end of the transmitter or receiver system. To use a remote control transmitter, connect the Kramer IR sensor at one end (P/N 95-0104050) and the Kramer IR emitter at the other end (P/N C-A35/IRE-10). Two sample cases are presented below.

The example in Figure 4 illustrates how to control a Blu-ray disk player using a remote control via the TP-590Rxr that is connected to the TP-590Txr. The IR sensor is connected to the TP-590Rxr and an IR emitter is connected between the TP-590Txr and the Blu-ray disk player. The Blu-ray disk player remote control sends a command while pointed at the external IR sensor. The IR signal is passed over the HDBT link and the IR emitter to the Blu-ray disk player which responds to the command sent.

The IR sensor is connected to the TP-590Rxr and the IR emitter is connected between the TP-590Txr and the projector. The projector remote control sends a command while pointed at the external IR sensor. The IR signal is passed over the HDBT link and the IR emitter to the projector which responds to the command sent.

11 Protocol 3000

The HDMI Line Receiver can be operated using serial commands from a PC, remote controller or touch screen using the Kramer Protocol 3000.

This section describes:

• Kramer Protocol 3000 syntax (see Section 11.1)
• Kramer Protocol 3000 commands (see Section 11.2)

11.1 Kramer Protocol 3000 Syntax

11.1.1 Host Message Format

StartAddress (optional)BodyDelimiter
#Device_id@MessageCR

11.1.1.1 Simple Command

Command string with only one command without addressing:

StartBodyDelimiter
#Command SP Parameter_1,Parameter_2,...CR

11.1.1.2 Command String

Formal syntax with commands concatenation and addressing:

StartAddressBodyDelimiter
#Device_id@Command_1 Parameter1_1,Parameter1_2,...|Command_2 Parameter2_1,Parameter2_2,...|Command_3Parameter3_1,Parameter3_2,...|...CR

11.1.2 Device Message Format

StartAddress (optional)BodyDelimiter
~Device_id@MessageCR LF

11.1.2.1 Device Long Response

Echoing command:

StartAddress (optional)BodyDelimiter
~Device_id@Command SP [Param1, Param2 ...] resultCR LF
CR = Carriage return (ASCII 13 = 0x0D)
LF = Line feed (ASCII 10 = 0x0A)
SP = Space (ASCII 32 = 0x20) 

11.1.3 Command Terms

Command

A sequence of ASCII letters ('A'-'Z', 'a'-'z' and '-').

Command and parameters must be separated by at least one space.

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.

Note: A string can contain more than one command. Commands are separated by a pipe ( ' |' ) character.

Message starting character

'#' – For host command/query

'\~' – For device response

Device address (Optional, for K-NET)

K-NET Device ID followed by '@'

Query sign

'?' follows some commands to define a query request.

Message closing character

CR- For host messages; carriage return (ASCII 13)

CRLF – For device 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.

11.1.4 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.

11.1.5 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.

11.1.6 Chaining Commands

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.

11.1.7 Maximum String Length

64 characters
