Protocol 3000
The VP-440 Presentation Switcher/Scaler can be operated using the Kramer Protocol 3000
serial commands. The command framing varies according to how you interface with VP-440.
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 VP-440. 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.
