3.1 About Maestro

DIP-31M showcases Maestro, Kramer’s easy to configure, single-trigger room

automation software that creates customized meeting room environments with

minimal end-user intervention.

Maestro creates a series of actions based on a pre-defined event, or trigger, such

as plugging in a laptop or turning a display off. These events can trigger actions

such as turning on computers (via Wake-on-LAN) and turning on and off lights,

projectors, displays, video sources, and HVAC.

Integrated with Kramer’s dynamic database of device drivers, there is no end to the

types of actions Maestro can perform. Maestro enables automated control over a

variety of port types: RS-232, Ethernet, GPIO, relay, and IR.

Maestro makes meeting rooms environmentally-friendly by ensuring that lights and

devices are automatically turned off. The solution turns a device or series of devices

on or off based on triggers, e.g., removing inputs, time, etc. This helps create a

greener workplace, and over time, saves significant energy costs.

6 Principles of Operation

The DIP-31M selects video and audio inputs based on the rules described below.

6.1 Input Selection and Switching

The video mode selection is set by the DIP-switches (see Section 8.1) to either of

the following modes:

• Manual

• Auto—Last connected or priority mode

In manual mode switching occurs whether or not there is a live signal present on

the input. You can manually select an input using any of the following methods:

• Front panel buttons.

• Remote input selection switches.

• RS-232 control.

• Web pages.

In auto mode, the switching selection is performed based on either last connected

or priority input.

In last connected mode, if the signal on the current input is lost, the DIP-31M

automatically selects the last connected input, (the delay depending on the

configurable signal-lost timeout).

In priority mode, when the input sync signal is lost for any reason, the input with a

live signal and next in priority is selected automatically, (the delay depending on the

configurable signal-lost timeout). This priority is configurable; the default setting is

HDMI 1  HDMI 2  PC.

In both last connected and priority modes, manually selecting an
input (using the remote input selection switches or any of the above
methods) overrides automatic selection.

6.2 Signal Loss and Unplugged Cable Timeouts

In both last connected and priority modes, when the input signal sync is lost (but the

cable is not removed) there is a default delay (ten seconds for video, not applicable

to the PC input, and five seconds for analog audio) before another input is

automatically selected. When an input cable is removed, there is a delay before

automatic switching takes place.

Both timeouts are configurable (see Section 9.5

If no display is connected, analog audio is not output.
If a display is connected, analog audio is output even in the absence

6.3 Audio Signal Control

Setup DIP-switches 3 and 4 (see Section 8.1) control how audio is handled.

The following table describes which audio signal is embedded in the output.

6.4 VGA Phase Shift

To minimize phase sync misalignments on the input VGA signal, the VGA sampling

phase can be shifted using the following methods:

• A long press on the PC IN select button on the front panel.

Each long press steps the phase shift up one step, starting from 0 and going to

31. When set to 31, another long press steps the shift to 0.

• A remote, contact-closure switch connected to pins 1 and G of the remote

terminal block.

Each long press steps the phase shift up one step, starting from 0 and going to

31. When set to 31, another long press steps the shift to 0.

• Using the Web pages, (see Section 9

• Protocol 3000 commands over RS-232 (see Section 13).

66 DIP-31M - Default EDID

13 Protocol 3000

The DIP-31M can be operated using Kramer Protocol 3000 serial commands.

Command framing varies according to how you interface with the DIP-31M. For

example, 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. (Examples in this section have K-Config
framing).

• K-Touch Builder (Kramer software):

DIP-31M - Protocol 3000

67

• K-Config (Kramer configuration 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 DIP-31M. 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.

For more information about:

• Using Protocol 3000 commands, see Section 13.1

• General syntax used for Protocol 3000 commands, see Section 13.2

• Protocol 3000 commands available for the DIP-31M, see Section 13.3

13.1 Understanding Protocol 3000

Protocol 3000 commands are structured according to the following:

• Command – A sequence of ASCII letters (A-Z, a-z and -). A command and

its parameters must be separated by at least one space.

• Parameters – A sequence of alphanumeric ASCII characters (0-9, A-Z, a-z

and some special characters for specific commands). Parameters are

separated by commas.

• Message string – Every command entered as part of a message string begins

with a message starting character and ends with a message closing character.

68 DIP-31M - Protocol 3000

The maximum string length is 64 characters.

A string can contain more than one command. Commands are
separated by a pipe (|) character.

• Message starting character:

 # – For host command/query

 ~ – For device response

• Device address – K-NET Device ID followed by @ (optional, K-NET only)

• Query sign –? follows some commands to define a query request

• Message closing character:

 CR – Carriage return for host messages (ASCII 13)

 CR LF – Carriage return for device messages (ASCII 13) and line-feed

(ASCII 10)

• Command chain separator character – Multiple commands can be chained

in the same string. Each command is delimited by a pipe character (|). When

chaining commands, enter the message starting character and the message

closing character only at the beginning and end of the string.

Spaces between parameters or command terms are ignored.
Commands in the string do not execute until the closing character is
entered. A separate response is sent for every command in the
chain.

13.2 Kramer Protocol 3000 Syntax

The Kramer Protocol 3000 syntax uses the following delimiters:

• CR = Carriage return (ASCII 13 = 0x0D)

• LF = Line feed (ASCII 10 = 0x0A)

• SP = Space (ASCII 32 = 0x20)

Some commands have short name syntax in addition to long name syntax to enable

faster typing. The response is always in long syntax.

The Protocol 3000 syntax is in the following format:

• Host Message Format:

• Simple Command – Command string with only one command without

addressing:

Parameter_1,Parameter_2,…

• Command String – Formal syntax with command concatenation and

addressing:

70 DIP-31M - Protocol 3000

Command_1 Parameter1_1,Parameter1_2,…|
Command_2 Parameter2_1,Parameter2_2,…|
Command_3

Parameter3_1,Parameter3_2,…|…

• Device Message Format:

• Device Long Response – Echoing command:
