Introduction

Welcome to Kramer Electronics! Since 1981, Kramer Electronics has been providing a world of unique, creative, and affordable solutions to the vast range of problems that confront the video, audio, presentation, and broadcasting professional on a daily basis. In recent years, we have redesigned and upgraded most of our line, making the best even better!

Getting Started

We recommend that you:

• Unpack the equipment carefully and save the original box and packaging materials for possible future shipment.

• Review the contents of this user manual.

Go to www.kramerav.com/downloads/MV-4X to check for up-to-date user manuals, application programs, and to check if firmware upgrades are available (where appropriate).

Achieving Best Performance

• Use only good quality connection cables (we recommend Kramer high-performance, high-resolution cables) to avoid interference, deterioration in signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated noise levels (often associated with low quality cables).

• Do not secure the cables in tight bundles or roll the slack into tight coils.

• Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may adversely influence

signal quality.

• Position your Kramer MV-4X away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust.

Safety Instructions

Caution:

• This equipment is to be used only inside a building. It may only be connected to other equipment that is installed inside a building.

• For products with relay terminals and GPI\O ports, please refer to the permitted rating for an external connection, located next to the terminal or in the User Manual.

• There are no operator serviceable parts inside the unit.

Warning:

• Use only the power cord that is supplied with the unit.

• To ensure continuous risk protection, replace fuses only according to the rating

specified on the product label which is located on the bottom of the unit.

MV-4X – Protocol 3000

Protocol 3000

Kramer devices can be operated using Kramer Protocol 3000 commands sent via serial or Ethernet ports.

Understanding Protocol 3000

Protocol 3000 commands are a sequence of ASCII letters, structured according to the following.

• Command format:

Prefix

Command Name

Constant (Space)

Parameter(s)

Suffix

Command



Parameter

<CR>

• Feedback format:

Prefix

Device ID

Constant

Command Name

Parameter(s)

Suffix

nn @ Command

Parameter

• Command parameters – Multiple parameters must be separated by a comma (,). In addition, multiple parameters can be grouped as a single parameter using brackets ([ and ]).

• Command chain separator character – Multiple commands can be chained in the same string. Each command is delimited by a pipe character (|).

• Parameters attributes – Parameters may contain multiple attributes. Attributes are indicated with pointy brackets (<…>) and must be separated by a period (.).

The command framing varies according to how you interface with MV-4X. The following figure displays how the # command is framed using terminal communication software (such as Hercules):

value – Contrast value 0 to 100.

Set contrast for window 1 to 40:

#CONTRAST1,40<CR>

CONTRAST?

Get image contrast per output.

Value limits can vary for different devices.

Value is a property of input connected to current window. Changing the window input source might cause changes in this value (refer to device definitions).

In devices that enable showing multiple outputs on one display – each in a separate window – this command relates only to the window associated with the output indicated in the outindex parameter.
