Figure 5. Wiring the Audio Input Connector
ATTENTION:
• The length of the exposed wires in the stripping process is critical. The ideal
length is 3/16 inch (5 mm). If the exposed portion is longer, the wires may
touch, causing a short circuit between them. If the exposed wires are shorter,
they can be easily pulled out, even if tightly fastened by the captive screws.
• La longueur des câbles exposés est primordiale lorsque l’on entreprend de
les dénuder. La longueur idéale est de 5mm (3/16inches). S’ils sont un peu
plus longs, les câbles exposés pourraient se toucher et provoquer un court
circuit. S’ils sont un peu plus courts, ils pourraient sortir, même s’ils sont
attachés par les vis captives.
• Do not tin the wires. Tinned wire does not hold its shape and can become
loose over time.
• Ne pas étamer les câbles. Les câbles étamés ne sont pas aussi bien fixés
dans les terminaisons des <connecteurs> à vis captives et pourraient sortir.
• For unbalanced audio, connect the sleeves to the ground contact. Do not
connect them to negative (–) contacts.
• Pour l’audio asymétrique, connectez les manchons au contact au sol. Ne
PAS connecter les manchons aux contacts négatifs (–).

Figure 7. Wiring the Audio Output Connector
ATTENTION:
• For unbalanced audio, connect the sleeves to the ground contact. Do not
connect them to negative (–) contacts.
• Pour l’audio asymétrique, connectez les manchons au contact au sol. Ne
PAS connecter les manchons aux contacts négatifs (–).
• The length of the exposed wires in the stripping process is critical. The ideal
length is 3/16 inch (5 mm). If the exposed portion is longer, the wires may
touch, causing a short circuit between them. If the exposed wires are shorter,
they can be easily pulled out, even if tightly fastened by the captive screws.
• La longueur des câbles exposés est primordiale lorsque l’on entreprend
de les dénuder. S’ils sont un peu plus longs, les câbles exposés pourraient
se toucher et provoquer un court circuit. S’ils sont un peu plus courts, ils
pourraient sortir, même s’ils sont attachés par les vis captives.
• Do not tin the wires. Tinned wire does not hold its shape and can become
loose over time.
• Ne pas étamer les câbles. Les câbles étamés ne sont pas aussi bien fixés
dans les terminaisons des connecteurs à vis captives et pourraient sortir.
Connecting for 4K Processing
Input and output connections to the DSC HD-HD 4K Plus A Series can vary depending on
the capability of your source or sink to process signals at 4K resolution on a single cable.
Single Input to Single Output
For a single-input to single-output configuration, the source must be capable of passing a
4K signal on a single cable (see the example in figure 8).

Input signals can be received over two wires in a “column” configuration (1920x2160,
2048x2160, and so on) and processed as a single, 4K image The left signal column is
sent through a cable from the source device to DSC Input A, and the right column through
a second cable to DSC Input B. The DSC combines the two input signal columns into one
signal, then displays a single 3840x2160 or 4096x2160 image on devices connected to
output A or to outputs A and B (see the example in figure 10).

Output signals can be sent over two wires in a split, “column” configuration (1920x2160,

column (the left half of the image) is sent to the sink through a cable connected between
output A and the sink, while the right column is passed to the sink through another cable
connected to output B. The sink then combines the two columns and displays them as a
single image (see the example in figure 11).

Display
Two HDMI inputs with the same resolution and refresh rate can be scaled and displayed
as two side-by-side images on one or both of the outputs (see the example in figure 12).
In this configuration, the aspect ratio selection (Fill or Follow) affects the appearance of
the output as follows:
• Fill — The image fills the vertical space on its portion of the display (stretched to fit if
necessary). This could result in a distorted image.
• Follow — The image is centered vertically on its portion of the display. If the image
takes up less vertical space than is available for it on the display, black bars are added
above and below the image to fill the space.
