The Kramer KDS-EN7 is an AV-over-IP encoder that streams 4K HDMI video, audio, USB, RS-232, IR and CEC across a standard gigabit Ethernet network using JPEG 2000 compression. It supports unicast and multicast streaming, video wall and multiview configurations driven from the receiving end, and separate media and control network interfaces so AV traffic can be kept off the management LAN.
Resolution: Up to 3840x2160, JPEG 2000 compression, HDCP 2.2
Type: AV-over-IP endpoint, channel-based routing, Kramer Protocol 3000
Inputs: 1x HDMI input, 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. GET INPUT reports whether a source is present on the HDMI input, which is what distinguishes a dead source from a routing fault.
CEC: CEC is carried in the stream and is selected by the decoder, not by the encoder. There is no encoder-side CEC send command in this product line's Protocol 3000 set.
Switch: An encoder publishes on its own channel. Use GET CHANNEL to read the number it is publishing on, then tune a decoder to the same number. Changing an encoder's channel with SET CHANNEL moves every decoder currently watching it.

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.
