3.1 About Fast Switching
Older display devices required a longer time between the loss of one digital signal
and the introduction of another, as well as a physical disconnection of the
interconnecting cable in order to be able to detect and adjust to the new video
attributes and parameters. Normal switching, therefore, introduced a 5V signal
disconnection along with a delay in switching. Many newer display devices,
however, are now capable of “on-the-fly” switching.
Depending on the display device in use, the VS-611DT allows for fast switching
(minor reset and the connection kept alive) and extra fast switching (no reset and
the connection kept alive). Using the fast switching mode allows for fraction-of-a-
second switching times when using high performance display devices or when
using a scaler on the video output.

10 Protocol 3000
The VS-611DT can be operated using the Kramer Protocol 3000 serial commands.
The command framing varies according to how you interface with the VS-611DT. In
the following example, a basic video input switching command that routes a layer 1
video signal to HDBT 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.
• K-Touch Builder (Kramer software):
• K-Config (Kramer configuration software):
VS-611DT – Protocol 3000 29
Page 35
characters.
All the examples provided in this section are based on using the
K-Config software.
You can enter commands directly using terminal communication software (e.g.,
Hercules) by connecting a PC to the serial, Ethernet or the USB (VCOM) port on
the VS-611DT. 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 10.1
• General syntax used for Protocol 3000 commands, see Section 10.2
• Protocol 3000 commands available for the VS-611DT, see Section 10.3
10.1 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.
A string can contain more than one command. Commands are
separated by a pipe (|) character. The maximum string length is 64
30 VS-611DT - Protocol 3000
Page 36
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.
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
10.2 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.

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

Notes
Destination bitmap size depends on device properties (for 64 inputs it is a 64-bit word)
Example: bitmap 0x0013 means inputs 1, 2 and 5 are loaded with the new EDID.
In this device, if the destination type is input (0), the bitmap size is 6 bits, for example bitmap 0x5 means
inputs 1 and 3 are loaded with the new EDID.
