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!

Our 1,000-plus different models now appear in 14 groups that are clearly defined by function: GROUP 1: Distribution Amplifiers; GROUP 2: Switchers and Routers; GROUP 3: Control Systems; GROUP 4: Format & Standards Converters; GROUP 5: Range Extenders & Repeaters; GROUP 6: Specialty AV Products; GROUP 7: Scalers; GROUP 8: Cables and Connectors; GROUP 9: Room Connectivity; GROUP 10: Mounting and Rack Adapters; GROUP 11: Sierra Video; GROUP 12: Digital Signage; GROUP 13: Audio; GROUP 14: Collaboration; and GROUP 15: KM & KVM Switches.

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.

Achieving the 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 neighbouring electrical appliances that may adversely influence

signal quality.

 Position your Kramer VP-440H2 away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust.

VP-440H2 – Installing in a Rack

When installing on a 19" rack, avoid hazards by taking care that:

 It is located within recommended environmental conditions. Operating ambient

temperature of a closed or multi-unit rack assembly may exceed ambient room temperature.

 Once rack mounted, there is enough air still flow around VP-440H2.  VP-440H2 is placed upright in the correct horizontal position.  You do not overload the circuit(s). When connecting VP-440H2 to the supply circuit,

overloading the circuits may have a detrimental effect on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Refer to the appropriate nameplate ratings for information. For example, for fuse replacement, see the value printed on the product label.

 VP-440H2 is earthed (grounded) and connected only to an electricity socket with

grounding. Pay particular attention when electricity is supplied indirectly (for example, when the power cord is not plugged directly into the wall socket but to an extension cable or power strip). Use only the supplied power cord.

To rack-mount VP-440H2:

 Use an optional RK-T2B rack adapter.

Some models, may feature built-in rack ears:

 Detachable rack ears can be removed for desktop use.  Always mount VP-440H2 in the rack before connecting any cables or power.  If you are using a Kramer rack adapter kit (for a machine that is not 19"), see the Rack

Adapters user manual for installation instructions available from our Web

www.kramerav.com/downloads/VP-440H2.

Installing in a Rack

This section provides instructions for rack mounting VP-440H2. Before installing in a rack, verify that the environment is within the recommended range:

 Operation temperature – 0 to 40C (32 to 104F).  Storage temperature – -40 to +70C (-40 to +158F).  Humidity – 10% to 90%, RHL non-condensing.

Page 9

VP-440H2 – Connecting VP-440H2

Always switch off the power to each device before connecting it to your VP-440H2. After connecting your VP-440H2, connect its power and then switch on the power to each device.

Connecting VP-440H2

4K In to 4K Out Bypassing

VP-440H2 can upscale to any resolution (up to 4K), or downscale (from up to 4K) to any resolution. Although the VP-440H2 enables “cross-scaling” (that is, scaling the output to the same resolution as the input), this may result in picture quality deterioration – especially when the output refresh rate is different to the input refresh rate.

To overcome the artifacts of 4K to 4K scaling:

 In the OSD menu, select Output > 4K in->4K out > ByPass

–OR– On the Output Settings page of the embedded web pages select 4Kin->4Kout > ByPass.

When set to ByPass, all 4K resolutions can be processed to the same refresh rate without scaling, and conversion from 4:4:4 to/from 4:2:0 color space can be performed.

The following table displays the resolutions that can be bypassed:

Default Communication Parameters

Page 38

Kramer Electronics Ltd.

VP-440H2 – Protocol 3000

The framing of the command varies according to the terminal communication software.

All the examples provided in this section are based on using the K-Config software.

Protocol 3000

The VP-440H2 4K Presentation Switcher/Scaler can be operated using the Kramer Protocol 3000 serial commands. The command framing varies according to how you interface with VP-440H2.

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:

 K-Touch Builder (Kramer software):

 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 VP-440H2. 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.

Page 39

VP-440H2 – Protocol 3000

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

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.

For more information about Protocol 3000 commands, see:

 Understanding Protocol 3000 on page 37  Kramer Protocol 3000 Syntax on page 37  Protocol 3000 Commands on page 39

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.

Kramer Electronics Ltd.

 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.

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:

 Command String – Formal syntax with command concatenation and addressing:

 Device Message Format:

 Device Long Response – Echoing command:
