Protocol 3000
The PA-240Z 240W Power Amplifier can be operated using the Kramer Protocol 3000 serial
commands. The command framing varies according to how you interface with the PA-240Z.
Generally, a basic video input switching command that routes a layer 1 video signal to
HDMI™ 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, depending on your device. 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.
