Operating the VM-4HDT, VM-3HDT and VM-2HDT

This section describes the following functions

• IR and RS-232 Signal Routing on page 9.
• Acquiring an EDID on page 12.

IR and RS-232 Signal Routing

The VM-4HDT can send or receive IR and RS-232 commands via the four HDBT output ports.

Each signal can pass commands from the VM-4HDT to a single output, several outputs or all of the outputs or the other way around, from the output/s to the VM-4HDT.

The IR/RS-232 signal routing is enabled via the SETUP DIP-switches (see Setting the DIP-Switches on page 9).

Setting the DIP-Switches

This section defines the SETUP DIP-Switches:

VM-4HDT SETUP 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 ON IR routing enable/disable RS-232 routing enable/disable

Output #IR Routing is enabled when:RS-232 Routing is enabled when:
OUT 1DIP 1 – OFFDIP 5 – OFF
OUT 2DIP 2 – OFFDIP 6 – OFF
OUT 3DIP 3 – OFFDIP 7 – OFF

VM-2HDT SETUP 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 ON IR routing enable/disable RS-232 routing enable/disable

Figure 7: VM-4HDT DIP-Switches

For example, in the DIP-switch setup shown in Figure 8, DIPs 1, 4, 7 and 8 are set to OFF. This means that IR signals can be transferred through channels 1 and 4 and RS-232 commands can be passed via channels 3 and 4. All the other channels are set to ON and therefore their related IR and RS-232 communication is disabled.

SETUP 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 ON 1 2 3 4 ON

Figure 8: VM 4HDT DIP-Switches Setup

Signal Routing

The example in Figure 9 shows the VM-4HDT connected to four TP-580R devices. The table below summarizes the types of connections:

Output #HDMI OUT:INPUTIRRS-232
VM-4HDTStreamerIR Emitter to streamerLaptop
TP-580R (1)DisplayStreamer IR remote controller to IR Sensor
TP-580R (2)DisplayStreamer IR remote controller to IR Sensor
TP-580R (3)ProjectorStreamer IR remote controller to IR SensorProjector
TP-580R (4)ProjectorStreamer IR remote controller to IR SensorProjector

IR signal Routing

To route the IR signal you have to use the Kramer external IR sensor on one end and the Kramer IR emitter cable on the other end.

In this example, an IR emitter is connected to the streamer and IR sensors are connected to each TP-580R device. This setup lets you remotely control the streamer via any of the receiver devices using the streamer's IR remote control transmitter.

RS-232 Signal Routing

A laptop or a Kramer Control device (for example, the SL-240C controller) can be used to send RS-232 control commands over HDBaseT to the remote connected device.

In this example, a laptop is connected to the RS-232 terminal block connector on the VM-4HDT and the RS-232 ports on TP-580R (3) and TP-580R (4) are connected to the projector. With this type of setup, you can control the projectors via the laptop.

RS-232 commands are sent to both projectors:

- When identical (for example, both are Projector A models), both respond to these commands.

- When different (for example, Projector A and Projector B models), the Projector A commands affect only Projector A and are ignored by Projector B.

In the same way, if RS-232 is also connected to the displays on TP-580R (1) and TP-580R (2) (not shown in Figure 9) they can also receive specific control commands each, which will be ignored by devices of a different model.

Protocol 3000

The VM-4HDT 1:4 HDMI to HDBT DA can be operated using the Kramer Protocol 3000 serial commands. The command framing varies according to how you interface with the VM-4HDT.

Generally, 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:

Hercules SETUP utility by HW-group.com UDP Setup Serial TCP Client TCP Server UDP Text Mode About Received/Sent date #ROUTE 1.1.1-01#ROUTE 1.1 -01#ROUTE 1,1,2 -01#VMUTE 1,0 -01#VMUTE 1,0 -01#VMUTE 1,0 -01#ROUTE 1,1,2 Modal lines CD RI DSR CTS DTR RTS Send #ROUTE 1.1.2:CRs HEX Send HEX Send HEX Send Serial Name COM3 Send 115200 Data size 8 Party: none Modulation OFF Mode: Free Close HWGFW updates HWgroup www.HW-group.com Hercules SETUP utility Version 3.1.2

Kramer VM-2HDT - Protocol 3000 - 2

The framing of the command varies according to the terminal communication software.

• K-Touch Builder (Kramer software):

Kramer VM-2HDT - Protocol 3000 - 3

• K-Config (Kramer configuration software):

Command Syntax Display Command as Hex Decimal ASCII "#ROUTE 1,1,2".0x0D Set Clear

Kramer VM-2HDT - Protocol 3000 - 5

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 VM-4HDT. 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 Protocol 3000 commands, see:

• Understanding Protocol 3000 on page 18.
• Kramer Protocol 3000 Syntax on page 19.
• Kramer Protocol 3000 Commands on page 19.

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.

Kramer VM-2HDT - Understanding Protocol 3000 - 1

A string can contain more than one command. Commands are separated by a pipe (1) character.

- 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 (1). When chaining commands, enter the message starting character and the message closing character only at the beginning and end of the string.

Kramer VM-2HDT - Understanding Protocol 3000 - 2

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.

Kramer Protocol 3000 Syntax

The Kramer Protocol 3000 syntax uses the following delimiters:

  • OR = Carriage return (ASCII 13 = 0x0D)
  • L = Line feed (ASCII 10 = 0x0A)
  • S = 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:

StartAddress (optional)BodyDelimiter
#Device_id@MessageCR

- Simple Command – Command string with only one command without addressing:

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

- Command String – Formal syntax with command concatenation and addressing:

StartAddressBodyDelimiter
#Device_id@Command_1 Parameter1_1,Parameter1_2,...Command_2 Parameter2_1,Parameter2_2,...Command_3 Parameter3_1,Parameter3_2,...|...CR

• Device Message Format:

StartAddress (optional)BodyDellimiter
~Device_id@MessageCR LF

• Device Long Response – Echoing command:

StartAddress (optional)BodyDelimiter
~Device_id@Command SP [Param1,Param2 ...] resultCR LF
