The 691 HDBT 2.0 Optical Transmitter can be operated using the Kramer Protocol 3000 serial commands. The command framing varies according to how you interface with the 691. For example, 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: ...
You can enter commands directly using terminal communication software (e.g., Hercules) by connecting a PC to the serial or Ethernet port on the 691. To enter CR press the Enter key (LF is also sent but is ignored by the command parser).
