12 The VP-770 RS-232 Communication Protocol

The Kramer Protocol lets you control the VP-770 from any standard terminal

software (for example, the Windows® HyperTerminal Application).

12.1 Using the Communication Protocol

There are three different methods to control the VP-770 via the RS-232 or the

Ethernet:

 Protocol commands (via protocol 3000 or Legacy Protocol) mimicking the

OSD, see Section 12.2

 The button functions mimicking the remote controller buttons (as well as the

front panel buttons), see Section 12.3

 Protocol 3000 common commands, see Section 12.4

All three tables together include all the protocol commands, but they

are not identical and do not always include the same information.

Some of the data may appear in one or two of the tables but not in the

third table and vice versa.

The protocol 3000 communications protocol uses a data rate of 115200 baud, with

no parity, 8 data bits, and 1 stop bit.

The Legacy communication protocol uses a data rate of 9600 baud, with no parity,

8 data bits and 1 stop bit. CTS mode and XON/XOFF are set to Off.

Note that if the Protocol is set to Legacy (via the Miscellaneous menu,

see Section 6.8), some PC applications (for example, K-Upload), as

well as the Web pages may not function properly.

12.2 Communication Protocol Mimicking OSD

The audio/video protocol commands defines all the function numbers, their valid

parameters can be used with protocol 3000 or the Legacy protocol.
