3 Overview
The IR-1 and the IR-1-01 can operate any Kramer RS-232 controlled
switcher or matrix that is listed in Table 2. Both the IR-1 and the IR-1-01:
• Have their own hand held wireless re mote contr ol transmitter
1
that
includes the protocols of all Kramer devices and is programmable to control
any Kramer machine (see Figure 1)
• Transmit to an identical remote receiver, either built-in (see Figure 2) or
external (see Figure 3). The remote receiver includes non-volatile memory that
retains the last setting, even after the power supply is interrupted
Achieving the best performance means:
• Pointing the remote control transmitter directly at the remote receiver
(whether built-in or external)
• Making sure that nothing blocks the pa t h of the infr a-red beam
2
• Connecting only good quality connection cables, thus avoiding
interference, deterioration in signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated
noise levels
• Avoiding interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may
adversely influence signal quality
1 Both the IR-1 and IR-1-01 remote control transmitter deliver instantaneous results and have a range of up to 15 meters
2 For example, do not place a group of switchers in front of the remote receiver. This may prevent it from receiving signals
from the remote control transmitter

This section includes details o f:
• The built-in front panel remote receiver (see section 5.1)
• How to connect the external remote receiver (see section 5.2)
5.1 Identifying the Built-in Remote Receiver
Most Kramer switchers
1
include a built-in front panel remote receiver that is
located to the left of the power switch, as Figure 2 illustrates:
Figure 2: Built-in Remote Receiver
5.2 Connecting the External Remote Receiver
When your RS-232 controlled Kramer switcher has no built-in front panel
remote receiver, you can use the external remote receiver
1
(see Figure 3). The
external remote receiver includes an attached RS-232 cable with a DB9
connector, and a 12V DC power socket.
To connect the external remote receiver, as the example in Figure 3
illustrates, do the following:
1. Connect the external remote receiver to the RS-232 port on the Kramer
switcher, via one of the following methods:
• A direct one-to-one connection, by simply connecting the attached
RS-232 cable’s DB9 connector to the RS-232 DB9 port on the switcher
• An extended (up to about 25 meters) one-to-one connection, by
connecting a flat cable, or by just connecting PIN # 2 to PIN # 2, PIN # 3 to
PIN # 3, and PIN # 5 to PIN # 5 (ground) between the attached RS-232 cable’s
1 Some switchers do not have a built-in remote receiver. For these units, an external remote receiver may be connected to the
switcher. When ordering a IR-1-01 remote control transmitter, a separate order must be made for an external remote receiver
if you want to use the IR-1-01 to control a Kramer switcher that has no built-in remote receiver—such as the VS-1002,
VS-1202, VS-1602, and VS-1604

DB9 connector and the RS-232 DB9 port on the switcher
• A cross connection (or Null-modem adapter) when required
1
. For the
cross connection, connect PIN # 2 to PIN # 3, PIN # 3 to PIN # 2, and PIN # 5
to PIN # 5
2. Connect the 12V DC power adapter to the power socket and connect the
adapter to the mains electricity.
Figure 3: Conn ecting the External Remote Receiver
When using more than one unit, connect the RS-485 detachable terminal
block connectors between the different units. The units must belong to the
same group and the same series
2
but can be different models3.

Configuration
7
6 Configuration
Kramer products are arranged in groups. Each group is controlled by a
different protocol
1
. To use the IR-1 and/or IR-1-01 you need to manually
allocate each unit you want to control to its group. Allocating the units in this
way enables the IR-1 and/or IR-1-01 to communicate with each unit in the
system. For a list of the products arranged according to their group, see Table
2 (which also indicates the maximum number of units that you can control in
a system using yo ur IR-1 and/or IR-1-01).
There are 16 different groups, numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 12, 14, 15,
16, 17, 18, and 20 (there are no groups numbered 8, 11, 13, or 19). Groups
numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, 14, 15 and 16 include units with only a single output. In
some cases, you will need to allocate different versions of the same unit to
different groups. For example, the VS-4x4YC vertical interval matrix
switcher appears in Groups 5 and 12. Group 5 works with the old protocol (at
the time that the VS-4x4YC was initially manufactured) and Group 12 works
with the new protocol

7 Using the Remote Control Transmitters (IR-1 / IR-1-01)
This section describes how to use t he IR-1 and IR-1-01 remote control
transmitters.
7.1 Understanding the Remote Control Transmitters (IR-1 / IR-1-01)
This section includes details o f the:
• Differences between the IR-1 and the IR-1-01 (see section 7.1.1)
• Timeout (see section 7.1.2)
• Operational modes (see section 7.1.3)
• Trans mis sion of data using the Take key (see section 7.1.4)
7.1.1 Differences between the IR-1 and the IR-1-01
The difference between the two remote control transmitters—the IR-1 and
the IR-1-01—is that the IR-1 can control all groups except Group 20.
However, the IR-1-01 is designed to control all groups, including
Group 20—to which you can allocate the VS-1616A
1
, VS-1616V2,
VS-1616AD
3
, and VS-162V4 series 16x16 matrix switchers. You may then
switch up to 96 x 96 inputs/outputs, as well a s sto re/recall up to 99
configuration setups from your remote control trans mitter. You can also
allocate the VS-1616SDI
5
and the VS-162AV6 to Group 20, although both
can only switch up to 16 x 16 inputs/outputs. In addition, the IR-1-01 can
control the VP-81N, VP-161, and VP-321
7
XGA/audio switchers.
The IR-1-01 includes a <0/10> key
8
, which represents either 0 or 10, as
appropriate; and two upper level functions: a <-> single digit mode, and a
<--> double digit mode.
7.1.1.1 Using the <0/10> Key
The <0/10> key represents 10 for products that are allocated to groups other
than Group 20. With Group 20, the <0/10> key represents 0 (in the <-->
double digit mode) or 10 (in the <-> single digit mode).
1 A 16x16 analog balanced stereo audio matrix switcher
2 A 16x16 analog video matrix switcher
3 A 16x16 digital audio matrix switcher
4 A 16x16 video matrix switcher
5 A 16x16 SDI video matrix switcher, with which you can store/recall up to 99 configuration setups
6 A 16x16 audio-video matrix switcher, with which you can store/recall up to 60 configuration setups
7 By cascading 3 VP-321 32X1 XGA/audio switchers, you can form a 96x1 XGA/audio switcher

Using the Remote Control Transmitters (IR-1 / IR-1-01)
10
7.1.1.2 Using the <-> Single Digit Mode to Select 10 via the <0/10> Key
The <-> single digit mode is accessed by pressing <SHIFT> <->1. This mode
accepts single digit numbers.
7.1.1.3 Using the <--> Double Digit Mode to Select 0 via the <0/10> Key
The <--> double digit mode is accessed by pressing <SHIFT> <-->1. This
mode accepts double digit numbers.
7.1.2 Timeout
By design, every keypad operation is subject to a 10 second timeout. Failure
to fully execute an action within 10 seconds will necessitate restarting that
action.
7.1.3 Operational Modes
Choose the operational mode, “VID”: video (the default), “AUD”: audio or
“A-F-V”: audio-follow-video, by pressing the appropriate key
2
.
7.1.4 Transmitting Data using the Take Key
To transmit data using the Take key, do the following:
1. Point the remote control transmitter at the remote receiver and press the
TAKE key. The TRANS LED lights.
2. Prepare the set of codes for switching (see section 7.2).
3. Press the TAKE key again. The TRANS LED lights.
The data transmits to the unit(s).

7.2.2 Switching an Input to an Output via the IR-1-01
Usually—for products that are allocated to groups other than Group 20—to
switch input 3 to output 7, press <# 7> and then <# 3>. The <0/10> key
represents 10. With Group 20, the <0/10> key represents either 0 (<-->
double digit mode) or 10 <-> single digit mode). After selecting the mode, it
is saved internally and does not need to be selected for future operations,
unless the mode is to be changed.
7.2.2.1 Switching an Input to an Output in the <-> Single Digit Mode
For example, to switch input 15 to output 5 on series 16x16 matrix switcher
that is allocated to Group 20, using the IR-1-01, do the following:
1. <SHIFT> <-> to choose the <-> single digit mode (unless already selected).
