Kramer Protocol
If the OUTPUT is set as 1, then the ASCII coding of the lettering following the machine’s name is sent. For example, for the VS- 7588YC, the reply to the request to send the first suffix would be (HEX codes):
7D | D9 | C3 | 81 (i.e. 128dec+ ASCII for “Y”; 128dec+ ASCII for “C”). |
NOTE 14 - The number of inputs and outputs refers to the specific machine which is being addressed, not to the system. For example, if six 16X16 matrices are configured to make a 48X32 system (48 inputs, 32 outputs), the reply to the HEX code
3E | 82 | 81 | 82 (ie. request the number of outputs) |
would be HEX codes |
|
| |
7E | 82 | 90 | 82 |
ie. 16 outputs |
|
|
|
NOTE 16 - The reply to the “REQUEST WHETHER PANEL IS LOCKED” is as in NOTE 4 above, except that here the OUTPUT is assigned with the value 0 if the panel is unlocked, or 1 if it is locked.
NOTE 19 – After this instruction is sent, the unit will respond to the ASCII command set defined by the OUTPUT byte. The ASCII command to operate with the HEX command set must be sent in order to return to working with HEX codes.
NOTE 24 – Further information needed in instructions 21, 22, 25 and 26 is sent using instruction 42 – which is sent prior to the instruction. For example, to request the audio gain value of right input # 9, send hex codes
2A | 84 | 80 | 81 |
and then send HEX codes
19 | 89 | 81 | 81. |
To set MIX mode, send hex codes
2A 81 84 81 and then send HEX codes
16
NOTE 25 – For units which detect the validity of the video inputs, Instruction 16 will be sent whenever the unit detects a change in the state of an input (in
For example, if input 3 is detected as invalid, the unit will send the HEX codes
10 | 83 | 84 | 81 |
If input 7 is detected as valid, then the unit will send HEX codes
10 | 87 | 85 | 81. |
