VS-211UHD - Operating the VS-211UHD
5 Operating the VS-211UHD
This section describes how to operate the VS-211UHD.
5.1 Switching – Manual and Auto
Switching can be performed automatically or manually using the front panel
buttons, remote control, or control commands. This section describes using the
buttons to select Auto or Manual switch modes.
The same procedure can also be used for controlling switching via the remote
control. For information about switching via control commands, see Section 9.3.3.
5.1.1 Manual Switch Mode
In Manual switch mode, the VS-211UHD does not automatically switch to another
channel even if an input signal is not detected on the manual input.
To select the Manual switch mode:
1. Press the AUTO button to turn the Auto LED off.
2. Press the IN1 or IN2 button to route this input to the HDMI output.
The keys respond as follows:
Input LED bright: input selected
Input LED dim: input active and not selected
Input LED off: input is not active and not selected
5.1.2 Auto Switch Mode
In Auto switch mode, the VS-211UHD automatically switches one of two HDMI
inputs to a predefined or the last connected input whenever the currently active
video signal is interrupted or whenever a higher-priority video signal is detected.
VS-211UHD - Operating the VS-211UHD
11
11
To select Auto switch mode:
1. Press the Auto/Manual button to turn the Auto LED on.
2. Press the Last/Priority button to select an auto switch mode:
Last connected (LAST LED on) – The device always switches to a
newly detected active video source. When the device is powered on, the
output switches to the highest priority input
Priority (LAST LED off) – The device always switches to the highest
priority input source. The default priority is Input 1 then Input 2.
5.1.3 Manual Override Mode
Auto switch mode can be overridden by a manual command, such as pressing an
input button or sending a control command. In such a case, the system switches to
the manually selected source. If this manually selected source is not active, the
system waits a set amount of time (10 seconds, default) and then switches back to
auto mode. Manual override selection is not stored in non-volatile memory.
5.2 Setting the Switching Speed
The VS-211UHD supports setting normal and fast (default) switching speeds.
To set switching speed modes:
1. Disconnect device power.
2. Press and hold one of the following buttons together with the OFF button:
IN 1 button – for setting fast switching speed mode.
IN 2 button – for setting normal switching speed mode.
3. Power the device on.
The device switching speed is modified.
5.3 Muting the Output
Press the OFF button to mute the audio and video outputs
12
VS-211UHD - Operating the VS-211UHD
The device automatically recognizes EDID differences between input
and output channels based on parts of the EDID data, including
manufacturer, serial number, and first block check-sum information.
EDID data is not copied when no difference is recognized.
5.4 Copying the EDID
The EDID is a data structure transmitted by the display that enables the VS211UHD to recognize the display connected to the output. The VS-211UHD
acquires and stores the EDID to make reconnection to the display effortless.
When the device is first powered on, it has default EDID loaded. The device
automatically reads and saves the first read EDID. Use DIP-switches 1-3 to set
EDID functionality (see Section 4.2).
While copying EDID data, the input port’s HPD function changes from Low to High
which may affect the channel’s auto-switching.
5.5 Setting the 5V Output Time Delay
Use DIP-switch 8 to set the delay time. Off (Up) delays 15 seconds, On (Down)
delays 15 minutes. A P3K command can modify the delay time.
When there is no signal clock or 5V input on both inputs for the set delay, the
device shuts down the 5V output.
5.6 Setting HDCP Capability
The VS-211UHD supports HDCP communication automatically, by default. When
HDCP is detected in the input signal, it is enabled in the output signal. You can also
disable HDCP support using DIP-switch 4 (see Section 4.2). Enabling or disabling
HDCP support is universal for both inputs.

An Input 1 analog audio signal can only be embedded in the Input 1
HDMI signal.
An Input 2 analog audio signal can only be embedded in the Input 2
HDMI signal.
5.7 Setting Audio Output
The VS-211UHD enables customizing the audio output by embedding audio in
HDMI, de-embedding HDMI ARC from output to the balanced stereo
(uncompressed) audio line out, or routing the HDMI / analog inputs to the balanced
stereo audio line out.
Note: Sending compressed audio on ARC causes noise on the analog audio
output.
5.7.1 Embedding Audio in HDMI
The VS-211UHD can output audio to the HDMI Out port from the original HDMI
input or the Analog unbalanced 3.5mm audio input, by embedding it in the HDMI
input signal. The VS-211UHD enables setting the audio output separately for each
input using DIP-switches 5 and 6 (see Section 4.2).
5.7.2 Outputting Audio from ARC or Device Inputs
The VS-211UHD can output audio to the balanced stereo Audio Out terminal block
from the following input sources:
ARC – In this mode, the device does not enable embedding audio in the
HDMI signal.
HDMI inputs / Analog unbalanced 3.5mm audio inputs – In this mode, the
balanced stereo Audio Out terminal block and the HDMI Out port both output
audio. The Audio Out terminal block mutes the audio when the input audio
signal is not LPCM.
Use DIP-switch 7 to set output to ARC / device inputs (see Section 4.2).
14
VS-211UHD - Operating the VS-211UHD
5.8 Using the Remote Control
You can use the RC-IR3 wireless remote control to control the VS-211UHD via the
built-in IR receiver on the front panel. For more information, see
www.kramerav.com/Product/RC-IR3.
5.9 Step-In Support
The VS-211UHD supports programmable step-in functionality when used in
conjunction with compatible step-in devices, such as the SID-X3N and DIP-30
(using an HDMI cable that supports HEC, the HDMI Ethernet Channel).
When ARC mode is enabled, Input 1 step-in mode is disabled. If you require step-in
mode on Input 1, set the audio output to the device inputs (see Section 5.7.2).

VS-211UHD - Protocol 3000
The framing of the command varies according to the terminal
communication software.
9 Protocol 3000
The VS-211UHD can be operated using the Kramer Protocol 3000 serial
commands. The command framing varies according to how you interface with the
VS-211UHD. 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:
K-Touch Builder (Kramer software):
K-Config (Kramer configuration software):
VS-211UHD - Protocol 3000
23
23
All the examples provided in this section are based on using the
K-Config software.
A string can contain more than one command. Commands are
separated by a pipe (|) character.
You can enter commands directly using terminal communication software (e.g.,
Hercules) by connecting a PC to the serial or Ethernet port on the VS-211UHD. 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 9.1
General syntax used for Protocol 3000 commands, see Section 9.2
Protocol 3000 commands available for the VS-211UHD, see Section 9.3
9.1 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.
24
VS-211UHD - Protocol 3000
The maximum string length is 64 characters.
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.
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.

9.2 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:
Command String – Formal syntax with command concatenation and
addressing:
Device Message Format:
Device Long Response – Echoing command:

~nn@GEDID␠ stage,stage_id␠OK␍␊
Get:
~nn@GEDID␠ stage,stage_id,size␍␊
Parameters
stage - input/output
0 (input)
1 (output)
2 (default EDID)
3 (custom EDID)
stage_id - number of chosen stage (1.. max number of inputs/outputs)
size - EDID data size. For Set, size of data to be sent from device, for Get, 0 means no EDID support
Response Triggers
Response is sent to the com port from which the Set (before execution) / Get command was received
Notes
For Get, size=0 means EDID is not supported
For old devices that do not support this command, ~nn@ERR 002␍␊ is received
K-Config Example

Communication Steps (Command and Response)
Step 1: #LDEDID␠dst_type, dest_bitmask, size, safe_mode␍
Response 1: ~nn@LDEDID␠ dst_type, dest_bitmask, size, safe_mode␠ READY␍␊ or
~nn@LDEDID␠ ERRnn␍␊
Step 2: If ready was received, send EDID_DATA
Response 2: ~nn@LDEDID␠ dst_type, dest_bitmask, size, safe_mode␠OK␍␊ or
~nn@LDEDID␠ ERRnn␍␊
Parameters
dst_type - EDID destination type (usually input)
0 (input)
1 (output)
2 (default EDID)
3 (custom EDID)
dest_bitmask - bitmap representing destination IDs. Format: 0x********, where * is ASCII presentation of
hex digit. The binary presentation of this number is a bit mask for destinations. Setting ‘1’ means EDID
data has to be copied to this destination
size - EDID data size
safe_mode - 0 - Device accepts the EDID as is without trying to adjust
1 - Device tries to adjust the EDID
EDID_DATA - data in protocol packets (see Section 9.2)
Response Triggers
Response is sent to the com port from which the Set (before execution)
Notes
When the unit receives the LDEDID command it replies with READY and enters the special EDID packet
wait mode. In this mode the unit can receive only packets and not regular protocol commands.
If the unit does not receive correct packets for 30 seconds or is interrupted for more than 30 seconds
before receiving all packets, it sends timeout error ~nn@LDEDID␠ ERR01␍␊ and returns to the regular
protocol mode. If the unit received data that is not a correct packet, it sends the corresponding error and
returns to the regular protocol mode.
See Protocol Packet reference in Section Error! Reference source not found.
K-Config Example
Write the EDID data (size x) to the HDMI Out 1, adjust for safe mode:
“#LDEDID 1,1,x,1”,0x0D
