Introduction
About the KD-VPHD3
The KD-VPHD3 is a digital video processor, audio transcoder, video/audio switcher and universal “distribution center”. It is capable of scaling and de-interlacing virtually any input resolution and outputting to virtually any standard or high definition display up to 1080p. The unit serves as an excellent solution for inter facing standard or high definition video sources and computers with displays.
The KD-VPHD3 uses motion-adaptive deinterlacing, 3:2 pull down engines and 3-D noise reduction. The unit also features time base correction (TBC) and accepts analog and digital video signals up to 1080i.
The design intention of limiting input resolution only up to 1080i ser ves a practical purpose considering that the KD-VPHD3 is a video scaler. To understand why, consider two scenarios of creating HD-DVD and Blu-Ray content.
Scenario One:
Original material is recorded at 1080P/24hz to the DVD. This signal is read from the disc then converted loss free to 1080i/60hz. From here, HD-DVD and Blu-Ray players upscale this 1080i/60Hz signal to 1080P/60hz using low cost scaler chips. Therefore, the 1080P output on consumer players started out as a 1080i signal and then ran through an inferior scaling chip to achieve 1080P.
Scenario Two:
Original material is recorded at 1080i/60hz to the DVD. From here, HD-DVD and Blu-Ray players upscale this 1080i/60Hz signal to 1080P/60hz using low cost scaler chips. Again, the 1080P output on consumer players started out as a 1080i signal and then ran through an inferior scaling chip to achieve 1080P.
The component outputs on HD-DVD and Blu-Ray players always output the 1080i/60hz signal before scaling, making these analog outputs more ‘true’ to the original content. The HDMI outputs are the only signals that are affected by these low cost scaling circuits.
When HD-DVD and Blu-Ray devices are connected to the KD-VPHD3 via HDMI, the Key Digital unit forces the players to output 1080i, the signal closest to the original format. We then get access to the cleanest possible signal and transfer the responsibility of scaling to 1080P to the high quality scaling engine in the KD-VPHD3.
Any audio input-to-output routing combination is possible on the KD-VPHD3. The audio processing capabilities of the unit allow analog to digital (Coaxial, Toslink and HDMI PCM), digital to digital (format conversion) and digital to analog conversion.

Setup and Operation
After all cabling is connected and the unit powered on, there are some functional settings which need to be made. These include output resolution, screen and audio/video association menu assignments as well as proper color space settings. Additionally, there are many detailed parameters which can be adjusted to taste or to compensate for different sources and/or displays. These parameters are grouped within the picture and screen menus.
The following detailed steps will facilitate easy setup and operation of the KD-VPHD3.
Setup
Configure the functional settings of the KD-VPHD3. It will help to have a video signal present at selected input
Set desired output resolution – Navigate to the ‘Output Resolution’ menu. Press the left or right arrow button repeatedly until the desired resolution is displayed. These resolutions take effect immediately and there is no need to press the ‘select’ button to engage the setting.
Set the A/V associations - Each video input is able to be associated with any audio input. Navigate to the ‘A/V Association’ menu until the desired video input is displayed. For example, to assign stereo analog input 1 to Component 1, go to ‘A/V Set Component 1’. Press the left or right arrow button until Stereo 1 is displayed. Assignment takes place immediately.
Set the intended color space conversion (CSC) for HDMI Input/Output – Proper color space must be set for HDMI input and output. The correct setting depends on the source and display characteristics. Navigate to the ‘HDMI In CSC’ or ‘HDMI Out CSC’ menu. There is an ‘auto’ setting in these two menus which can be used most reliably. Alternatively, it may sometimes be necessary to select either RGB or YCbCr color space conversion. With any of the above menus, the correct setting will be apparent when viewing the display, as the wrong setting will yield incorrect colors in the image. In order to determine, with accuracy, what the correct settings should be, use the built-in color bar test patterns on the KD­VPHD3 to assure proper setup.
Set the intended CSC for the analog video output – Proper color space must also be set for the analog video output. Navigate to the ‘Analog Out CSC’ menu and select either YPbPr or RGB, depending on the requirement of the display. With the above menu, the correct setting will be apparent when viewing the display, as the wrong setting will yield incorrect colors in the image. In order to determine, with accuracy, what the correct settings should be, use the built-in color bar test patterns on the KD-VPHD3 to assure proper setup.
Setup the HDMI output port – Navigate to the ‘HDMI Out Setup’ menu. Use the left or right arrow button to select either DVI or HDMI. When using DVI equipped displays and an appropriate HDMI to DVI adapter cable out of the KD-VPHD3, set this menu to DVI. When using HDMI equipped screens, set this menu to HDMI.

Operation
After all of the setup steps above, the KD-VPHD3 is ready for operation. Most applications will involve only input switching for day to day operation. There are a several options for controlling the unit. Most commands can be issued via IR remote control, RS-232 or simply by using the front panel buttons.
Front Panel Control
For switching inputs, simply press the ‘Input Select’ button on the right side of the front panel. See number 8 on Figure 4. Pressing this button repeatedly will cycle through all video inputs.
IR (Remote Control)
The KD-VPHD3 ships with an IR remote control providing direct selection of inputs and adjustment of the most common parameters via ‘hot buttons’. Hot buttons enable quick adjustment to these parameters without the need to access the extensive menu through the LCD. As illu strated in the following diagram, these convenient keys are clearly marked and aid in configuring and operating the KD-VPHD3.

*The PAL 2:2 pull down process is used specifically for conversion when viewing content filmed at 24 frames/second on 50hz displays. The KD-VPHD3 default setting is ‘On’, which means it automatically detects the need for this conversion process. If the source signal i s noisy, then this process can sometimes yield jagged edges and, therefore, we offer the option to turn off ‘auto detect’.
5. Screen Horizontal Picture Adjustment
HPU / HPD / HPI# # = setting between -20 ~ 20 Example: To shift the picture left, issue the command HPU Example: To shift the picture right, issue the command HPD Example: To set the horizontal position to a value of 5, issue the command HPI5
6. Audio/Video Association Set
AVx # x = desired video input # = desired audio input Example: To associate PCM input 2 with component input 3, issue the command AV5 6
Please not that there is a space nece ssary between ‘x’ and ‘#’

Firmware Update
From time to time, Key Digital may provide firmware updates for the KD-VPHD3. These updates are optional, and should only be performed as instructed by Key Digital. Below is the procedure for updating the firmware. Please note that incorrect update processes can result in an unusable unit. Follow the detailed directions carefully.
Firmware Update Procedure
Check our web site at www.keydigital.com for the latest firmware update ZIP file. Download and unzip the firmware ZIP file to any directory on the PC. All of the unzipped files that are created must be located in same directory on the PC.
Be sure power is disconnected to the KD-VPHD3 unit. The power supply must be
disconnected (either from the back of the unit or from the wall outlet) to have a complete power shutdown - reset.
With power disconnected, set the rear-panel slide switch (see page 5 number 12) to program mode “Mode A”. Do not yet apply power to the unit.
Connect an RS-232 cable to the COM1 serial port on the PC, and the other end to the RS-232 port on the rear panel of the KD-VPHD3 unit. Make sure that no other devices are using the COM1 serial port on the PC. Use of laptop computers has proven less reliable than desktop systems. Please refrain from updating the firmware with laptops.
Apply power to the KD-VPHD3 unit.
The power supply must be reconnected to the unit.
Double-click the ‘isynchd.bat’ file from within the ZIP folder. The command mode window should pop up. Monitor this pop-up window to verify the update progress.
If an error occurs, check the RS-232 connection and repeat all of the above steps.
When the update is complete, disconnect the RS-232 cable between the unit and the PC.
Disconnect power from the KD-VPHD3 unit. The power supply must be disconnected
(either from the back of the unit or from the wall outlet) to have a complete power shutdown - reset.
With the power disconnected, set the rear-panel slide switch to “Normal” mode.
Turn on power to the KD-VPHD3 unit. Power supply must be reconnected to the unit
first; then push the ‘On” button on the front panel.
The firmware update is now complete, and the KD-VPHD3 is ready for operation. Upon boot-up, the LCD will display the new firmware version
