About Fast Switching

Older display devices require 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 accepting “on-the-fly” switching.

Depending on the display device in use, the VS-6464DN-EM allows for fast switching (minor
reset and the connection kept alive) and extra fast switching (no reset and the connection
kept alive), see Config Menu—Setting Output Port Parameters on page 29. Using the fast and
extra fast switching modes allows for fraction-of-a-second switching times when using high
performance display devices or when using a scaler on the video output.

VS-6464DN-EM – Introduction 3
Kramer Electronics Ltd.

About Power Connect™

The Power Connect™ feature here means that the VS-6464DN-EM can supply power to the
TP transmitters and receivers (for example, the TP-573 and TP-574) as long as the devices
are within 90m (270ft) of each other. The Power Connect™ feature applies as long as the
cable can carry power and the distance does not exceed 90m on standard CAT 5 cable. For
longer distances, a heavier gauge cable should be used (a TP cable is still suitable for the
video/audio transmission, but not for feeding the power at these distances).

Overview
The Kramer VS-6464DN-EM is a high performance managed matrix switcher chassis for AV
signals. The unit is modular and populated from 8 x 8 to 64 x 64 ports in increments of eight
inputs and/or eight outputs. The unit supports various signals, depending on the type of cards
installed, and includes two power supplies with an optional third for redundancy and a
controller and testing module that can monitor and test any input or output in the matrix. It
features a very high bandwidth of up to 3.4Gbps (for the chassis only, effective bandwidth of
the system depends on the input / output cards, see Using the Input / Output Cards
on page 33) that ensures transparent performance even in the most critical applications. The
cards re-clock and equalize the signals and the chassis can route any or all inputs to any or
all outputs simultaneously.

The VS-6464DN-EM is highly configurable – you can add or remove inputs and outputs
independently in groups of eight and mix different types of input/output cards in the same
chassis. For example, you can configure a device as an 8 x 24 or a 64 x 8 matrix switcher to
exactly suit your needs.

The VS-6464DN-EM features:

• Full 64 x 64 non-blocking matrix array to switch any of the 64 input digital signals to any
or all of the 64 outputs (see Connecting the VS-6464DN-EM on page 11).
• Easy access to 60 pre-set memory locations for quick access to user-defined setups.
• Fast switching on outputs to reduce or remove switching delay.
• Support for redundant, hot swappable power supplies.
• Simple firmware upgrade of compatible cards (see Upgrading VS-6464DN-EM and Input
/ Output Card Firmware on page 53).
• Seamless integration with Kramer Network for switching, card status, port status,
firmware upgrades (of compatible cards), and more.
• A 40 character by 2 line LCD that shows the operational status or the configuration
menu.
• A lock function to prevent tampering with the front panel.
• A default EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) for each input.
• EDID Capture – Copies and stores the EDID from a display device.
• Non-volatile EDID storage.

Kramer Electronics Ltd.

Connecting the VS-6464DN-EM

Always switch off the power to each device before connecting it to your VS-6464DN-EM. After
connecting your VS-6464DN-EM, connect its power and then switch on the power to each
device.

You do not have to connect all the inputs and outputs, connect only those that are required.
In the following example, only two inputs and two outputs are connected.

The configuration of DVI input/output cards shown in Figure 4 is merely a sample

representation and different input / output cards may be mixed as required (for limitations, see
Port Numbering on page 12). Exactly the same principles apply to installations using other
card types.

To connect the VS-6464DN-EM, as illustrated in the example in Figure 4, do the following:

1. Connect up to 64 DVI video sources (for example, computer graphics sources).
2. Connect up to 64 DVI video acceptors, (for example, a plasma display and DVI LCD
display).
3. If required, connect a PC or remote controller to the RS-232 port (see Connecting to the
VS-6464DN-EM via RS-232 on page 14) and/or the Ethernet port (see Connecting to the
VS-6464DN-EM via Ethernet on page 14).
4. Connect the power cord.
5. If necessary, review and set the system configuration using the Menu (see Using the
Configuration Menus on page 22).

Given an input signal that is HDCP encoded, the VS-6464DN-EM outputs a signal only if the
output port to which it is switched supports HDCP.

VS-6464DN-EM – Connecting the VS-6464DN-EM 11

Figure 4: Connecting the VS-6464DN-EM

Port Numbering
On each card there are eight physical ports numbered sequentially from top to bottom and left
to right. Figure 5 displays a sample numbering showing only the bottom of each card.

VS-6464DN-EM – Connecting the VS-6464DN-EM 12

Kramer Electronics Ltd.

Figure 5: Sample Port Numbering

Diagram # Actual Port Number

1 IN 1 – IN 8
2 IN 9 – IN 16
3 IN 17 – IN 24
4 OUT 1 – OUT 8
5 OUT 9 – OUT 16
6 OUT 17 – OUT 24

EDID Numbering Examples

The following EDID configuration is based on the port numbering shown in Figure 5 and lists
requested switching configurations and their results.
EDID Request EDID Sent
From OUT 21 Blank (256 bytes of 0xFF)
From IN 25 None (error message displayed)

AV data flow is: source > VS-6464DN-EM > display. EDID information flow is: display >
VS-6464DN-EM > source, which means that the EDID input is the display side and the EDID
output is the AV source side. This is the reverse of the AV data flow direction.

When assigning EDIDs, note that the top row of the LCD display labeled OUTPUTS
relates to the ports connected to the sources (AV inputs), and the bottom row of the
LCD display labeled INPUTS relates to the ports connected to displays (AV outputs).

In Figure 6, the EDID from EDID input 8 (VS-6464DN-EM Output port 8) has been assigned
to all EDID outputs (VS-6464DN-EM Input ports).

Viewing the Display

Figure 11 shows the output-input matrix on the LCD display. The LCD display can show only
13 out of the 64 available matrix combinations at once. To view any of the matrix
combinations use the ◄ or the ► buttons on the front panel to shift the sliding window to the
right or left.

Kramer Electronics Ltd.

This sliding window functionality is enabled when:

• The switcher is in between operations (waiting for its next operation while all previous
operations are complete or cancelled).
• Recalling a setup using the ◄ or ► buttons.

When entering an output/input combination, the contents of the LCD display automatically
shift to indicate the current status of the selected output.

Using the Selector Buttons

For numbers between 1 and 9, the VS-6464DN-EM can handle two digit numbers as well as
single digit numbers. When entering a single digit number (for example 5), you can either
press 0 followed by 5, or 5 followed by ENTER.

Pressing 00 (or 0, ENTER) is only relevant for an input and is used to disconnect the currently
entered output number from the input.

For example, the following display indicates that outputs 8 and 12 are disconnected from any
input (note that the corresponding inputs in the second line are blank):
06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13
12 08 10 14 13 06

The ESC button is used to cancel an operation without affecting the current status. For
example, if you enter an incorrect number by mistake, press the ESC button to cancel the
operation.

At any stage, if no button is pressed within approximately 15 seconds, the automatic timeout
causes the VS-6464DN-EM to exit the operation and revert to the output/input display.

Confirming Actions
You can choose to work in the At Once (default, for all actions except storing/recalling) or the
Confirm mode.

In the At Once mode:

• The TAKE button does not light.
• Pressing an OUT-IN combination implements the switch without further user
confirmation.
• You save time as execution is immediate and actions require no user confirmation.
• No protection is offered to correct an erroneous action.

Kramer Electronics Ltd.

Protocol 3000
The VS-6464DN-EM 8x8 to 64x64 Modular Multi-Format Managed Digital Matrix Switcher
can be operated using the Kramer Protocol 3000 serial commands. The command framing
varies according to how you interface with the VS-6464DN-EM. For 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):

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 or Ethernet port on the VS-6464DN-EM. 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.

VS-6464DN-EM – Protocol 3000 62

For more information about:

• Understanding Protocol 3000 commands (see Understanding Protocol 3000 Commands
on page 63).
• General syntax used for Protocol 3000 commands (see Protocol 3000 Syntax
on page 64).
• Protocol 3000 commands available for the VS-6464DN-EM (see Protocol 3000
Commands on page 64).
• Using the packet protocol (see Using the Packet Protocol on page 90).

Understanding Protocol 3000 Commands

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.

VS-6464DN-EM – Protocol 3000 63

Kramer Electronics Ltd.

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 Address (optional) Body Delimiter
# device_id@ Message CR

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

Start Body Delimiter
# CommandSPParameter_1,Parameter_2,… CR

• Device Message Format:

Start Address (optional) Body Delimiter
~ device_id@ Message CR LF

• Device Long Response – Echoing command:

Start Address (optional) Body Delimiter
~ device_id@ CommandSP[Param1,Param2,…]result CR LF

The auto adjust feature (in the Auto-DE-Adjust and Auto-PHASE-Adjust parameters) requires the
device to recalculate the parameters based on the currently connected source. The result may be
different from the standard parameters for the currently set resolution. The result is saved in non-volatile
memory and is recalled when the same source is used again. In order to revert to auto pre-defined
parameters, either reset to factory setting with the relevant source connected or connect a different
source.

Using the Packet Protocol

The packet protocol is designed to transfer large amounts of data, such as files, IR
commands, EDID data, etc.

To use the packet protocol:

1. Send a command, for example LDEDID
2. Receive READY or ERR###
3. If READY:
▪ Send a packet
▪ Receive OK on the last packet
▪ Receive OK for the command
4. Packet structure:
▪ Packet ID (1, 2, 3…) (2 bytes in length)
▪ Length (data length + 2 for CRC) - (2 bytes in length)
▪ Data (data length -2 bytes)
▪ CRC - 2 bytes
01 02 03 04 05…
Packet ID Length Data CRC

5. Response:
~NNNNSPOKCR LF
Where NNNN is the received packet ID in ASCII hex digits.

When calculating the CRC, the polynomial for the 16-bit CRC is:
CRC-CCITT: 0x1021 = x16 + x12 + x5 + 1
Initial value: 0000
Final XOR Value: 0
For a code example, see: http://sanity-free.org/133/crc_16_ccitt_in_csharp.html
CRC example:
Data = “123456789”
Result => 0x31C3
