2.1 Quick Start
The following quick start chart summarizes the basic setup and operation steps for
the PIP-4.

Overview
3
3 Overview
The high performance Kramer desktop PIP-4 is a picture-in-picture inserter for
composite video signals.
The PIP-4 features:
•A multi-standard, picture-in-picture video inserter that accepts up to four
composite video sources and displays them all on the same screen
simultaneously
•s-Video and composite video outputs
•Non-volatile memory that retains the last setting1
With the PIP-4, you can:
•Position sources on the screen as desired and select their size dynamically
using a mouse or by selection from a list
•Freeze the output
•Output video as both s-Video and composite signals
In addition, the PIP-4:
•Includes 10-bit video A/D and D/A converters throughout the unit, ensuring
the highest quality video
•Can be operated locally via:
The front panel buttons
A user-friendly OSD (On-Screen Display) menu
•Can be operated remotely via an IR remote controller, RS-232 and Ethernet
•Is rugged and dependable
3.1 Recommendations for best performance
To achieve the best performance:
•Connect only good quality connection cables2
•Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances and position your
PIP-4 away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust
thus avoiding interference,
deterioration in signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated noise levels
(often associated with low quality cables)
1 Provided the last setting was valid for at least 30 seconds before switching the machine off

Communication Protocol 3000

11 Communication Protocol 3000
The Protocol 30001
11.1 Protocol 3000 Syntax
is an RS-232/Ethernet communication protocol that enables you to
control the device from any standard terminal software (for example, Windows®
HyperTerminal Application).
Host message format:
Start
Address (optional)
Body
Delimiter
# Destination_id@ message CR
Simple command (commands string with only one command without addressing):
start
body
delimiter
# Command SP Parameter_1,Parameter_2,… CR
Commands string (formal syntax with commands concatenation and addressing):
#Address@Command_1 Parameter1_1,Parameter1_2,… |Command_2
Parameter2_1,Parameter2_2,…|Command_3 Parameter3_1,Parameter3_2,…
|…CR
Device message format:
Start
Address (optional)
Body
Delimiter
~ Sender_id@ message CR LF
Device long response (Echoing command):
Start
Address (optional)
Body
Delimiter
~ Sender_id@ command SP [param1 ,param2 …] result CR LF
CR = Carriage return (ASCII 13 = 0x0D)
LF = Line feed (ASCII 10 = 0x0A)
SP = Space (ASCII 32 = 0x20)
11.2 Command Parts Details
Command:
Sequence of ASCII letters ('A'-'Z', 'a'-'z' and '-')
Command will separate from parameters with at least single space
Parameters:
Sequence of Alfa-Numeric ASCII chars ('0'-'9','A'-'Z','a'-'z' and some special chars for specific commands), parameters will be separated
by commas
Message string:
Every command must to be entered as part of message string that begin with message starting char and end with message closing char,
note that string can contain more then one command separated by pipe ("|") char
Message starting char:
'#' for host command\query
1 VER-0 1

KRAMER: SIMPLE CREATIVE TECHNOLOGY
Communication Protocol 3000
16
'~' for machine response
Device address (Optional, for Knet):
Knet Device ID follow by '@' char
Query sign = '?', will follow after some commands to define query request
Message closing char =
Host messages - Carriage Return (ASCII 13), will be referred to by CR in this document
Machine messages - Carriage Return (ASCII 13) + Line-Feed (ASCII 10), will be referred to by CRLF
Spaces between parameters or command parts will be ignored
Commands chain separator char:
When message string contains more than one command, commands will be separated by pipe ("|")
Commands entering:
If terminal software used to connect over serial \ ethernet \ USB port, that possible to directly enter all commands characters (CR will be
entered by Enter key, that key send also LF, but this char will be ignored by commands parser)
Sending commands from some controllers (like Crestron) require coding some characters in special form (like \X##) Anyway, there is a
way to enter all ASCII characters, so it is possible to send all commands also from controller
(Similar way can use for URL \ Telnet support that maybe will be added in future)
Commands forms:
Some commands have short name syntax beside the full name to allow faster typing, response is always in long syntax
Commands chaining:
It is possible to enter multiple commands in same string by '|' char (pipe)
In this case the message starting char and the message closing char will be entered just one time, in the string beginning and at the
end
All the commands in string will not execute until the closing char will be entered
Separate response will be sent for every command in the chain
Input string max length:
64 characters
Backward support:
Design note: transparent supporting for protocol 2000 will be implemented by switch protocol command from protocol 3000 to protocol
2000, in protocol 2000 there is already such a command to switch protocol to ASCII protocol (#56 : H38 H80 H83 H81)
