2 Product outline
The FDX-12UHD (hereafter referred to as “FDX”) is a digital matrix switcher hav ing 12 inputs / 12 outputs,
supporting up to 4K@60 and HDCP2.2.
Since the FDX supports combinations of digital slot boards and HDBaseT slot boar ds, t he system can be
simplified.
The FDX has RS-232C and LAN for an external control communic ation port. Digital video and analog audio
can be switched separatel y usi ng M A U-1616 (optional audio matrix switcher).

6 Precautions
Before connecting to external devices, follow the precautions below.
6.1 Installation
When installing the FDX, please observe the following precautions.
● Do not bloc k vent hol es. To provide adequate ventilation, maintain sufficient clearances around the
FDX 1.18 in. (30 mm) or more.
● When the FDX needs to be mounted in an EIA rack, or an enclosed space, ensure that suffici ent
ventilation or c ooling is provided and that the ambient temperature will not exceed 40°C / 104°F. If
inadequately vented, the product’s service life, operati on and r eliability may be affect ed.
■ Attaching rack mounting b racket s
1. Remove four M5 screws from one side of the unit. Retain t hese screws for step 2.
2. Attac h one br ac k et t o the side of t he unit using the screws removed in step 1.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 on the other si de of the unit.
[Fig. 6.1] Attaching rack mounting brackets
Note:
The standard screw tightening torque is 2.94 N･m (about 30 kgf･cm).

6.2 Cabling
When connecting the FDX to external devices, please observe the following precautions.
・Read manuals for the exter nal dev ices.
・ Before you connecting cables to the FDX or an external device, dissipate stat ic electricity by touching
grounded metal such as racks before handling signal cables. Failure to observe this precaution may
result in ESD (electrostatic discharge) dam age.
・Power all units off before connecting cables.
・Be sure to fully seat all plugs and connections and dress cables to reduce stres s on connectors.
・Secure HDMI cables using cable clamps to prevent connectors from being accidently pulled out of ports.

For analog audi o and RS-232C, select or fabricate cables to match the connectors as needed.
For 4K format video, t he maximum TMDS data r ate (transmission speed) is 18 Gbps. If a high-speed HDMI
cable that supports up to 10.2 Gbps rate is used, video cannot be displ ay ed stably. Select an appropriat e 18
Gbps high-speed cable depending on the 4K format.
The maximum distance may change depending on cable type and charact eri stics of source and sink devices.

Notes:
・If connecting an HDC series product in order to transmit DVI signals that are protected by HDCP,
use IDK’s HDBaseT cable extender supporting DVI signals.
・If a cable is extended and a cable joint (JJ) is used, video may be interrupted or may not be output.

6.2.2 Twisted pair cable for extension
To ensure the best perf ormance of twisted pair cables, select a cor r ect twisted pair cable and connect it
correctly.
● Cat5e UTP/STP and Cat6 UTP/STP can be used, but we recommend CAT.5E HDC cable* for optimal
performance.
● If using an STP c able, connect t he FG connector to a ground source. Ot herwise, t he shiel ding feat ure
does not work correctly . W hen usi ng a UTP c able, we still recommend using the ground connect or .
● The shiel ded STP c ables are less affected by interference or ext er nal noise than UTP cables.
● Connectors for long-haul extension are t he same as that of eight-core modular connector used for
Ethernet, but t he transmission system is not the same so that it cannot be connec ted to Ethernet.
● The maximum ext ensi on distance of a twisted pair cables is the shorter distance of the maximum
extension distances of transmitter/rec eiv er /sink device connected to the FDX.
● Pin assignments: T568A or T568B straight
● Do not pull the cable hard. The allowable tension of the t wisted pair cable is 110 N.
● Do not bend the connec tion cable at a sharp angle. Keep the bend radius four times of the cable diameter
or larger.
● Do not tie the cable tightly; leave a space allowing t he cabl e to move slightly.
● If you use multiple twisted pair cables, we recommended keeping a distance between the cables or not
to place the cables closel y in par allel.
● Keep the twisted pair cable as straight as you can. If you coil the cable, it is easily affected by noise.
● Do not place the cable in an electrically noisy environment, since high-speed signals are transmitted.
Particularl y when you use a high-out put radio around the FDX, video or audio may be interrupted.
● If t he total extension distance f rom the transmi tter to receiver i s 328 ft. (100 m) or l ess, up to two cable
joints can be used. Product s supporting Cat6A (10GBase-T) are recommended.
● The table below shows supported extension distance for each twisted pair cable categor y. Note that the
distance may shorten depending on the actual environment.

* The CAT.5E HDC cable is a doubl e-shi elded twisted pair cable that optimizes video signal transmission of
IDK’s HDC series product (twisted pair cable extenders and spli tt er s), M S D and FDX series product s
(products with extending function).
The CAT.5E HDC cable is certif ied to 500 MHz bandwidth at distance up t o 330 feet (100 m) and verified to
meet requirements specified by HDBaseT Alliance. The double-shielded structure protects video signal from
outside interference. In order to maximize the performance of the CAT.5E HDC cable, use IDK’s transmitters
and receivers with STP’s R J-45 connector and keep the cabl e gr ounded.
Note:
If there is a problem in the t r ansmission path, video and audio may be interrupt ed. Please check the items
above. If the problem still cannot be solved, shorten the length of the twisted pair cable.

7 Basic Operation
This User’s Guide explains operat ions from the front panel of the FDX and a Web browser. See FDX-12UHD
Command Guide for control by c ommands.
If “8.9.3 Power saving” is set to “ON” and no operation is performed for 60 seconds, the LC screen and the
following key will turn off.
・LCD screen
・Switching direction selection key
・Input channel selecti on k ey s
・Output channel selec tion keys
For details of operations from Web browser, see “7.7 Control fr om WEB browser” explaining WEB browser
configurati on and features that cannot be executed from front keys .
7.1 Channel switching mode
・V&A: Illuminates in orange. I/O c hannels of the FDX and MAU-1616 can be switched simultaneously .
・VIDEO: Illuminates in green. I/O channels of only the FDX can be switched.
・AUDIO: Illuminates in red. I/O channels of only the MAU-1616 can be switched.
(MAU-1616 I/O control: Up to 12 channels.)
Every time you press the key, the mode is switched. (V&A→VIDEO→AUDIO)

7.2 Selecting I/O channel
You can select I/O channels using INPUT SELECT and OUTPUT SELECT keys.
If you want to select an input channel first, select “INPUT→OUTPUT” mode using the c hannel switching
direction key. In the opposite case (you want to select output channels first), select “OUTPUT→INPUT” mode.
This selection uses the channel switching directi on sel ection key.
Note:
In some system envir onm ent, EDID needs to be set in order to output video and audio to the sink device.
If video or audio is not output by following the procedure in this section, ensure the EDID setti ngs match the
sink device specification.
