2.1  
Achieving the Best Performance  
To achieve the best performance:  
Use only good quality connection cables (we recommend Kramer high-  
performance, high-resolution cables) to avoid interference, deterioration in  
signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated noise levels (often  
associated with low quality cables)  
Do not secure the cables in tight bundles or roll the slack into tight coils  
Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may adversely  
influence signal quality  
Position your Kramer VS-48HDCPxl away from moisture, excessive sunlight  
and dust  
This equipment is to be used only inside a building. It may only be  
connected to other equipment that is installed inside a building.

Using the IR Transmitter  
You can use the RC IR3 IR transmitter to control the machine via the built-in IR  
receiver on the front panel or, instead, via an optional external IR receiver (Model:  
C-A35M/IRR-50). The external IR receiver can be located up to 15 meters away  
from the machine. This distance can be extended to up to 60 meters when used  
with three extension cables (Model: C-A35M/A35F-50).  
Before using the external IR receiver, be sure to arrange for your Kramer dealer to  
insert the internal IR connection cable (P/N: 505-70434010-S) with the 3.5mm  
connector that fits into the REMOTE IR opening on the rear panel. Connect the  
external IR receiver to the REMOTE IR 3.5mm connector.

i
power and then switch on the power to each device.  
To connect the VS-48HDCPxl as illustrated in the example in Figure 3:  
1. Connect up to four DVI sources (for example, DVD players) to the IN DVI  
connectors.  
2. Connect the OUT DVI connectors to up to eight DVI acceptors (for example,  
DVI displays).  
3. If required, connect a PC and/or controller to the RS-232 port (see  
Section 5.1) and/or the Ethernet port (see Section 5.2).  
4. If required, acquire the EDID (see Section 6.4).  
The power cord is not shown in Figure 3.

1st BYTE:  
D – “DESTINATION”:  
Bit 7 Defined as 0.  
0 - for sending information to the switchers (from the PC);  
1 - for sending to the PC (from the switcher).  
N5…N0 – “INSTRUCTION”  
The function that is to be performed by the switcher(s) is defined by the INSTRUCTION (6 bits). Similarly, if a function is  
performed via the machine’s keyboard, then these bits are set with the INSTRUCTION NO., which was performed. The  
instruction codes are defined according to the table below (INSTRUCTION NO. is the value to be set for N5…N0).  
2nd BYTE:  
Bit 7 Defined as 1.  
I6…I0 – “INPUT”.  
When switching (ie. instruction codes 1 and 2), the INPUT (7 bits) is set as the input number which is to be switched.  
Similarly, if switching is done via the machine’s front-panel, then these bits are set with the INPUT NUMBER which was  
switched. For other operations, these bits are defined according to the table.  
3rd BYTE:  
Bit 7 Defined as 1.  
O6…O0 – “OUTPUT”.  
When switching (ie. instruction codes 1 and 2), the OUTPUT (7 bits) is set as the output number which is to be  
switched. Similarly, if switching is done via the machine’s front-panel, then these bits are set with the OUTPUT  
NUMBER which was switched. For other operations, these bits are defined according to the table.  
4th BYTE:  
Bit 7 Defined as 1.  
Bit 5 – Don’t care.  
OVR Machine number override.  
M4…M0 – MACHINE NUMBER.  
Used to address machines in a system via their machine numbers. When several machines are controlled from a single  
serial port, they are usually configured together with each machine having an individual machine number. If the OVR bit  
is set, then all machine numbers accept (implement) the command, and the addressed machine replies. 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.  
All the values in the table are decimal, unless otherwise stated

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 resets according to the present power-down settings.  
NOTE 2 - These are bi-directional definitions. That is, if the switcher receives the code, it performs 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) switches input 5 to output 8. If the user switched input 1 to output 7  
via the front panel keypad, then the switcher sends 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 3 - SETUP # 0 is the present setting. SETUP # 1 and higher are the settings saved in the switcher's memory, (i.e.  
those used for Store and Recall).  
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. The replies to instructions 10 and 11 are  
as per the definitions in instructions 7 and 8 respectively. For example, if the present status of machine number 5 is  
breakaway setting, then the reply to the HEX code  
0B  
would be HEX codes

NOTE 8 - The reply is as in TYPE 3 above, except that here the OUTPUT is assigned with the value 0 if the setup is not  
defined / no valid input is detected; or 1 if it is defined / valid input is detected.  
NOTE 13 - This is a request to identify the switcher/s in the system. If the OUTPUT is set as 0, and the INPUT is set as  
1, 2, 5 or 7, the machine sends its name. The reply is the decimal value of the INPUT and OUTPUT. For example, for a  
2216, the reply to the request to send the audio machine name would be (HEX codes):  
7D  
96  
90  
81 (i.e. 128dec+ 22dec for 2nd byte, and 128dec+ 16dec for 3rd byte).  
If the request for identification is sent with the INPUT set as 3 or 4, the appropriate machine sends its software version  
number. Again, the reply would be the decimal value of the INPUT and OUTPUT - the INPUT representing the number  
in front of the decimal point, and the OUTPUT representing the number after it. For example, for version 3.5, the reply to  
the request to send the version number would be (HEX codes):  
7D  
83  
85  
81 (i.e. 128dec+ 3dec for 2nd byte, 128dec+ 5dec for 3rd byte).  
If the OUTPUT is set as 1, then the ASCII coding of the lettering following the machine’s name is sent. For example, for  
the VS-7588YC, the reply to the request to send the first suffix would be (HEX codes):  
7D  
D9  
C3  
81 (i.e. 128dec+ ASCII for “Y”; 128dec+ ASCII for “C”).  
NOTE 14 - The number of inputs and outputs refers to the specific machine which is being addressed, not to the  
system. For example, if six 16X16 matrices are configured to make a 48X32 system (48 inputs, 32 outputs), the reply to  
the HEX code  
3E  
82  
81  
82 (ie. request the number of outputs)  
would be HEX codes  
7E  
82  
90  
82  
ie. 16 outputs  
NOTE 15 – When the OVR bit (4th byte) is set, then the “video” commands have universal meaning. For example,  
instruction 1 (SWITCH VIDEO) causes all units (including audio, data, etc.) to switch. Similarly, if a machine is in  
“FOLLOW” mode, it performs any “video” instruction.  
NOTE 16 - The reply to the “REQUEST WHETHER PANEL IS LOCKED” is as in NOTE 4 above, except that here the  
OUTPUT is assigned with the value 0 if the panel is unlocked, or 1 if it is locked.
