The Kramer KDS-DEC7 is an AV-over-IP decoder that renders 4K HDMI video, audio, USB, RS-232, IR and CEC from a KDS-EN7 encoder on the same gigabit network. It includes a scaler, an on-screen display generator and a video wall processor with bezel compensation, and selects its source by tuning to an encoder's channel number rather than through a matrix switch.
Resolution: Up to 3840x2160, JPEG 2000 compression, HDCP 2.2
Type: AV-over-IP endpoint, channel-based routing, Kramer Protocol 3000
Inputs: Network only; 1x HDMI output, USB, RS-232, IR, analog audio
Mounting: Surface or rack
First Use: Put the device on the same subnet as the controller and connect to TCP port 5000, which is the Protocol 3000 default. Send '#' on its own and confirm the device answers '~nn@ok' before sending anything else; nn is the machine number and every later reply carries it. Commands are ASCII, prefixed with '#' and terminated with a carriage return. The device takes a DHCP address by default. If device security has been enabled on site, send '#LOGIN admin,<password>' first - a factory unit does not require it.
Video Optimization: The network must have IGMP snooping enabled with a querier when streaming multicast, which SET METHOD 2 selects. Use SET MULTICAST to place the stream on a specific group address; unlike chip-derived families, the address is assigned here.
CEC: CEC travels with the stream and is routed with it. The decoder's whole-stream route names cec among its signals, so a display behind a decoder follows the source it is tuned to.
Switch: A switch is a channel change, not a crosspoint. An encoder publishes on the channel set with SET CHANNEL (1-999); a decoder watches whichever channel it is tuned to. To route, read the wanted encoder's channel with GET CHANNEL, then send SET CHANNEL to the decoder with that number, and confirm with GET CHANNEL on the decoder. The decoder's route names every signal at once; ROUTE VIDEO and ROUTE AUDIO move one signal for breakaway.

Power Cycle: Remove PoE or the local power supply for ten seconds. STANDBY ON and STANDBY OFF change power state without dropping the control session.
Factory Reset: Use the embedded web pages, or the front-panel reset. NAME-RST clears only the device name.
