VM‑4HDT, VM‑3HDT, VM‑2HDT – Protocol 3000
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:
The framing of the command varies according to the terminal communication software.
• K-Touch Builder (Kramer software):
• K-Config (Kramer configuration software):
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.
