Mounting VP-445
This section provides instructions for mounting VP-445. Before installing, verify that the environment is within the recommended range:
� Operation temperature � 0 to 40C (32 to 104F). � Storage temperature � -40 to +70C (-40 to +158F). � Humidity � 10% to 90%, RHL non-condensing.
� VP-445 must be placed upright in the correct horizontal position.
Caution: � Mount VP-445 before connecting any cables or power.
Warning: � Ensure that the environment (e.g., maximum ambient temperature & air flow) is compatible for the device. � Avoid uneven mechanical loading. � Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used for avoiding overloading of the circuits. � Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained.
To mount the VP-445 on a rack
Attach both ear brackets by removing the screws from each side of the machine and replacing those screws through the ear brackets or place the machine on a table.

Kramer Electronics Ltd.
The RS-232/Ethernet (TCP) Communication Protocol
The VP-445 Presentation Switcher/Scaler can be operated using the Kramer Protocol 3000 serial commands. The command framing varies according to how you interface with the VP-445. 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. This command is used for demonstration purposes only and its syntax may vary per device. � K-Touch Builder (Kramer software):
� K-Config (Kramer configuration software):
All the examples provided in this section are based on using the Kramer K-Config software.
You can enter commands directly using terminal communication software (e.g., Hercules) by connecting a PC to the serial or Ethernet port on the VP-445. 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 Understanding Protocol 3000 on page 32 � General syntax used for Protocol 3000 commands, see
�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.
� Kramer Protocol 3000 Syntax on page 32 � Protocol 3000 commands available for the VP-445, see Protocol 3000 Commands
on page 33
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 characters.
� 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 chain.
VP-445 � The RS-232/Ethernet (TCP) Communication Protocol

Kramer Electronics Ltd.
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:
Start Address (optional) Body
Delimiter
#
Device_id@
Message CR
� Simple Command � Command string with only one command without addressing:
Start Body
Delimiter
#
Command SP Parameter_1,Parameter_2,... CR
� Command String � Formal syntax with command concatenation and addressing:
Start #
Address Device_id@
Body
Command_1 Parameter1_1,Parameter1_2,...| Command_2 Parameter2_1,Parameter2_2,...| Command_3 Parameter3_1,Parameter3_2,...|...
Delimiter CR
� Device Message Format:
Start Address (optional) Body
Delimiter
~
Device_id@
Message CR LF
� Device Long Response � Echoing command:
Start Address (optional) Body
