from the technical support section on our Web site at: http://www.kramerelectronics.com .
By default, the VP-4x4K is set to Kramer’s Protocol 3000, but it is also compatible
with Protocol 2000.
13.1 Switching Protocols
You can switch protocols either via the front panel buttons (see Section 13.1.1 ) or
by sending protocol commands (see Section 13.1.2 ).
13.1.1 Switching Protocols via the Front Panel Buttons
To switch from Protocol 3000 to Protocol 2000, press and hold the OUT 1 and
OUT 2 buttons for a few seconds.
The display shows 2000.
To switch from Protocol 2000 to Protocol 3000, press and hold the OUT 1 and
OUT 3 buttons for a few seconds.
The display shows 3000.
13.1.2 Switching Protocols via Protocol Commands
To switch from Protocol 3000 to Protocol 2000, send the following command:
• #P2000<CR>
To switch from Protocol 2000 to Protocol 3000, send the following command:
• 0x38, 0x80, 0x83, 0x81
The Windows®-based Kramer control software (not as part of a switching
operation) operates with Protocol 2000. If the
VP-4x4K is set to Protocol 3000, it is
automatically switched to Protocol 2000.
