KRAMER: SIMPLE CREATIVE TECHNOLOGY
Kramer Protocol 200030F
20
4 th BYTE: Bit 7 – Defined as 1.
Bits 5, 6 – Don’t care.
M4…M0 – MACHINE NUMBER.
Used to address machines in a system via their machine numbers.
For a single machine controlled via the serial port, always set M4…M0 = 1, and make sure that the machine itself is
configured as MACHINE NUMBER = 1.
When several machines are controlled from a single serial
port, they are usually configured together with each machine having an individual machine number.

NOTES on the above table:
NOTE 1 - When the master switcher is reset, (e.g. when it is turned on), the reset code is sent to the PC. If this code is sent to
the switchers, it will reset according to the present power-down settings.
NOTE 2 - These are bi-directional definitions. That is, if the switcher receives the code, it will perform the instruction; and if
the instruction is performed (due to a keystroke operation on the front panel), then these codes are sent. For example, if the
HEX code
01
85 88 83
was sent from the PC, then the switcher (machine 3) will switch input 5 to output 8. If the user switched input 1 to output 7
via the front panel keypad, then the switcher will send HEX codes:
41
81 87 83
to the PC.
When the PC sends one of the commands in this group to the switcher, then, if the instruction is valid, the switcher replies by
sending to the PC the same four bytes that it was sent (except for the first byte, where the DESTINATION bit is set high).
NOTE 4 - The reply to a "REQUEST" instruction is as follows: the same instruction and INPUT codes as were sent are
returned, and the OUTPUT is assigned the value of the requested parameter. For example, if the present status of a Video
Output 1 is 3, then the reply to the HEX code
05
80 81 81
would be HEX codes
45
80 83 81
NOTE 9 - An error code is returned to the PC if an invalid instruction code was sent to the switcher, or if a parameter
associated with the instruction is out of range. This code is also returned to the PC if an RS-232 instruction is sent while the
machine is being programmed via the front panel. Reception of this code by the switcher is not valid.
