14 Kramer Protocol

By default, the VP-8x8AK is set to protocol 3000 (see

Section

14.2

) but is

also compatible with Kramer’s Protocol 2000

1

(see

Section

14.3

).

Section

14.1

describes how to switch between protocol 3000 and protocol

2000.

14.1

Switching Protocols

You can switch protocols either via the front panel buttons (see

Section

14.1.1

) or the protocol commands (see

Section

14.1.2

).

the OUT 1

and OUT 2 buttons for a few seconds.

To switch from protocol 2000 to protocol 3000, press and hold the OUT 1
and OUT 3 buttons for a few seconds.
