ADDENDUM:

VS-1616A, VS-1616AD, VS-1616SDI, VS-1616V, and VS-162V

This addendum describes the ASCII protocol in the 1616 series. The ASCII protocol

applies to firmware version 3.3 or higher.

ASCII Protocol: General

The ASCII protocol has 3 basic commands: Yfor connect, Tfor recall, Pfor store.

Before using the ASCII protocol, you need to select it from the machine’s front panel.

Press the MENU button until you get to “set communication protocol” and then choose

the ASCII protocol. This is saved in the non-volatile memory, so the machine will

remain as ASCII even after cycling power. To check that the protocol has been selected,

and to confirm that the communication is OK, send the string **!! to the VS-1616A. It

should reply by sending the string OK!!

ASCII Protocol: Description

The 3 basic commands are Y, T, and P.

“Y” command: MAKE A CROSSPOINT CONNECTION.The format is:

** Y o#, i# !! where i# is the input number, and o# is the output number.

Note: The string does not need a space (spaces are used here just to add clarity to the

explanation).

For example:

**Y3,4!! would connect input 4 to output 3

**Y9,6!! would connect input 6 to output 9

**Y2,17,Y43,12,Y7,6!! would connect input 17 to output 2, input 12 to output 43, and

input 6 to output 7.

The buffer allows up to 63 characters. Thus you could place up to about 10 crosspoint

connections in a single string.

Also:

**Y0,5!! would connect input 5 to all outputs

**Y3,0!! would disconnect output 3

“T” command: RECALL A SETUP.The format is:

** T s# !! where s# is the setup number (1 to 99) which is to be recalled.

For example:

**T13!! would recall setup number 13

“P” command: STORE A SETUP. The format is:

** P s# !! where s# is the setup number (up to 99) where the machine’s present

status is to be stored.

For example:

**P13!! would store in setup number 13

The reply for all commands could be:

OK!! or

ERROR!!

Overview

KRAMER ELECTRONICS, LTD.

3 Overview

The Kramer VS-1616V is a high performance 16x16 vertical interval matrix

switcher for composite video signals on BNC connectors. In addition to its

typical 16x16 operation, the VS-1616V can be configured as follows:

 8x8 for s-Video (Y/C)

 5x5 for YUV or RGB (with the sync on the Green signal - RGsB)

 4x4 for RGBS signals

A main advantage of the VS-1616V is that it forms part of the series of 16x16

matrix switchers that includes, but is not limited to, VS-1616A (a 16x16

analog balanced stereo audio matrix switcher), VS-1616VD (a 16x16 digital

video matrix switcher), VS-1616AD (a 16x16 digital audio matrix switcher),

and VS-1616RS (an RS-422 control signal matrix switcher).

In particular, the VS-1616V:

 Produces glitch-free transitions, when sources share a common reference

sync

 Offers excellent video performance, which ensures that it remains

transparent in almost any video application

In addition the VS-1616V:

 May be used as a single unit, or expanded to up to 96 x 96 inputs/outputs

 Can be configured into a Kramer multi-signal switcher system including

digital and analog video, digital and analog audio, and RS-422 control

switchers

 When integrated in a system, all units switch in true audio-follow-video

mode

 Recalls up to 15 (or more

) configuration setups via the non-volatile

memory and provides for an unlimited quantity of setups when using the

Kramer control software on your PC

 Includes a user-friendly LCD display (making operation even easier)

 With its FLASH memory, lets you upgrade to the latest Kramer firmware

version via Internet download

 Comes with a choice of protocol format: hexadecimal or ASCII

1 As it switches during the vertical interval

2 Depending on the firmware version

Summary of how to Operate a Single Machine

Control the VS-1616V:

 Using the front panel buttons

 Remotely, by RS-485 or RS-232 serial commands transmitted by a touch

screen system, PC, or other serial controller

 Remotely, from the Kramer IR-1 Infra-Red Remote Control Transmitter

 Via external dry-contact push buttons

To achieve the best performance:

 Connect only good quality connection cables, thus avoiding interference,

deterioration in signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated noise levels

(often associated with low quality cables)

 Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may

adversely influence signal quality and position your Kramer VS-1616V in a

location free from moisture and away from excessive sunlight and dust

4 Summary of how to Operate a Single Machine

By default, the VS-1616V is setup for use as a single machine.

This means that it is:

 A 16x16 composite video switcher

 Switched during the vertical interval of the external reference

In particular, be sure that the dipswitches are set as Figure 1 illustrates (see

section 6.5 for further details):

Figure 1: Dipswitch Setup on a Single Machine

To operate a single machine, see Table 1.
