Unit Configurations:

The KD-MSVA4X4Pro is a full matrix audio / video switcher capable of switching 4 Inputs to 4
Outputs. Any Input, or Source, is available to any Output, or Zone, at any time. The switcher can
also be used as a distribution amplifier when all outputs are fed from the same source input.

The unit will handle line level Analog audio signals and PCM Digital audio signals. It will also
convert Analog audio signals to Digital, and Digital audio signals to Analog. Full control of audio
properties such as Bass, Treble, Mid-range, Balance and Lip-Sync are also available. Control of the
KD-MSVA4X4Pro may be through Front Panel push buttons, IR Remote, Serial IR or RS-232.

The KD-MSVA4X4PRO can be configured to work in several Modes. There are 3 Audio Modes
available when in the RGBHV (VGA) mode and 5 Audio Modes available when in Component
(YPrPb) mode.

NOTE: These modes can only be set with the RS-232 command ‘SPC VT x’ to select the
Video Input format type desired, and ‘SPO xx T y’ to select the Audio Output type desired.

(See RS-232 commands detailed on page 14)

NOTE: The factory default configuration is Component Video with Audio Type #1.

½ RGBHV with Audio Type #1 - RGBHV Video with PCM Audio.

H&V will Input and Output over L&R connections. PCM Audio Input & Output at PCM. PCM
Audio will be in “pass-through” mode without audio processing or control. You may pass any
format of Digital audio through the PCM connections in this mode.

½ RGBHV with Audio Type #2 - RGBHV Video with Composite Video.

No Audio. H&V over L&R connections. Composite Video over PCM connections.

½ RGBHV with Audio Type #5 - RGBHV Video with PCM Audio.

H&V at L&R connections. PCM Audio at PCM connections. Full Audio processing and control
available. Will not pass encoded multichannel content. (Dolby Digital, DTS etc.)

½ Component with Audio Type #1 - Component Video with Analog L&R Audio.

Analog Audio inputs to Analog Audio outputs with full processing. PCM Audio inputs to PCM
outputs in “pass-through” mode. No audio processing. PCM will pass all audio formats.

½ Component with Audio Type #2 - Component Video with Analog L&R Audio.

Analog Audio inputs to Analog Audio outputs with full processing. Composite Video may be
switched utilizing the PCM inputs and outputs. No PCM audio available in this case.

½ Component with Audio Type #3 – Component Video with Analog L&R Audio.

Analog Audio inputs to Analog Audio outputs with full processing. Analog also converted to
PCM Audio at PCM Outputs. Full Audio processing at PCM Outputs. Will not pass encoded
multichannel content. (Dolby Digital, DTS etc.)

½ Component with Audio Type #4 - Component Video with PCM Audio.

PCM Inputs converted to Analog with full Audio processing to L&R Analog outputs. PCM Audio
also available at PCM Outputs via “pass-through” mode. No audio processing. PCM will pass all
audio formats.

½ Component with Audio Type #5 – Component Video with PCM Audio.

PCM Inputs converted to Analog with full Audio processing to PCM outputs. Will not pass
encoded multichannel content. (Dolby Digital, DTS etc.)

NOTE: Independent Audio format configurations are supported at each output.
