Frequently Asked Questions - PIP-4 Kramer

How do I connect multiple video sources to the PIP-4?

Connect up to four composite video sources to the BNC inputs labeled IN1 to IN4 on the rear panel. Use good quality 75Ω coax cables for best performance.

Can I output both s-Video and composite video simultaneously?

Yes. The PIP-4 has both an s-Video output (4-pin Y/C connector) and a composite video output (BNC). Both are active simultaneously.

How do I resize or move the picture-in-picture windows?

Use the front panel buttons: select an input (IN1-4), then press MOVE or SIZE and use the arrow buttons. Alternatively, connect a USB mouse and drag windows or borders.

How can I freeze the on-screen image?

Press the FREEZE button on the IR remote or go to the OSD menu (Display > Source) and set Freeze to ON for the desired window. The output image freezes until turned off.

What is the default IP address for Ethernet control?

The factory default IP address is 192.168.1.39 with TCP port 5000 and UDP port 50000. You can change it via the Device Details menu in the PIP-4 Controller software.

How do I reset the PIP-4 to factory settings?

Disconnect power, press and hold the Reset button on the rear panel, then reconnect power. Hold the Reset button until the video appears, then release. All parameters return to defaults.

Can I control the PIP-4 from a computer?

Yes. Use the PIP-4 Controller software (download from Kramer website) via RS-232 or Ethernet. The software allows full control of windows, presets, and video adjustments.

What cables are recommended for best video quality?

Kramer recommends using high-performance, high-resolution cables (e.g., Kramer coaxial cables) with proper 75Ω impedance to avoid signal degradation and interference.

How do I mount the PIP-4 in a rack?

The PIP-4 is a desktop unit. For rack mounting, use the optional RK-1 rack adapter. Alternatively, you can place it on a shelf using the supplied rubber feet.

How do I update the firmware?

Download the latest firmware from www.kramerelectronics.com. Connect to the device via the PIP-4 Controller software, go to Device > Firmware Update, select the file, and follow on-screen instructions. Do not power off during update.

• Ethernet over a LAN
• RS-232 serial commands transmitted by a touch screen system, PC, or other serial controller

7.1 Operating the PIP-4 Using the PIP-4 Controller Software

The PIP-4 Control application ^1 is used to control the device via either RS-232 or Ethernet.

For details regarding connecting to the Ethernet port on the PIP-4, see Section 5.2.

The Controller software requires the following:

• Windows™ XP, Vista or Windows™ 7
  • Microsoft .Net Framework version 3.5

To install the Controller software, download the software and run the setup file. After installation, running the Controller software for the first time displays a window similar to that shown in Figure 8.

12 Communication Protocol 3000

The Protocol 3000 ^d is an RS-232/Ethernet communication protocol that enables you to control the device from any standard terminal software (for example, Windows® HyperTerminal Application).

12.1 Protocol 3000 Syntax

Host message format:

Start	Address (optional)	Body	Delimiter
#	Destination_id@	message	CR

Simple command (commands string with only one command without addressing):

start	body	delimiter
#	Command SP Parameter_1,Parameter_2,...	CR

Commands string (formal syntax with commands concatenation and addressing):

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

1 VER-0.1

Device message format:

Start	Address (optional)	Body	Delimiter
~	Sender_id@	message	CR LF

Device long response (Echoing command):

Start	Address (optional)	Body	Delimiter
~	Sender_id@	command SP [param1 ,param2 ...] result	CR LF

CR = Carriage return (ASCII 13 = 0x0D)

= Line feed (ASCII 10 = 0x0A)

= Space (ASCII 32 = 0x20)

12.2 Command Parts Details

Command:

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

Command will separate from parameters with at least single space.

Parameters:

Sequence of Alfa-Numeric ASCII chars ('0'-9', 'A'-Z', 'a'-z' and some special chars for specific commands), parameters will be separated by commas.

Message string:

Every command must to be entered as part of message string that begin with message starting char and end with message closing char, note that string can contain more then one command separated by pipe (") char.

Message starting char:

'#' for host command\query.

'\~' for machine response.

Device address (Optional, for Knet):

Knet Device ID follow by '@' char.

Query sign = '?' , will follow after some commands to define query request.

Message closing char =

Host messages - Carriage Return (ASCII 13), will be referred to by CR in this document.

Machine messages - Carriage Return (ASCII 13) + Line-Feed (ASCII 10), will be referred to by CRLF.

Spaces between parameters or command parts will be ignored.

Commands chain separator char:

When message string contains more than one command, commands will be separated by pipe ( "|").

Commands entering:

If terminal software used to connect over serial \ ethernet \ USB port, that possible to directly enter all commands characters (CR will be entered by Enter key, that key send also LF, but this char will be ignored by commands parser).

Sending commands from some controllers (like Crestron) require coding some characters in special form (like \X##). Anyway, there is a way to enter all ASCII characters, so it is possible to send all commands also from controller.

(Similar way can use for URL \ Telnet support that maybe will be added in future).

Commands forms:

Some commands have short name syntax beside the full name to allow faster typing, response is always in long syntax.

Commands chaining:

It is possible to enter multiple commands in same string by "|" char (pipe).

In this case the message starting char and the message closing char will be entered just one time, in the string beginning and at the end.

All the commands in string will not execute until the closing char will be entered.

Separate response will be sent for every command in the chain.

Input string max length:

64 characters.

Backward support:

Design note: transparent supporting for protocol 2000 will be implemented by switch protocol command from protocol 3000 to protocol 2000, in protocol 2000 there is already such a command to switch protocol to ASCII protocol (#56 : H38 H80 H83 H81).
