Connections

Before making any connections, power off your source and display devices.

Tx Extender:

➔ Using a short HDMI cable, connect your source device to the HDMI port labeled

“HDMI Input”. To connect DVI use appropriate DVI to HDMI adapters.

➔ Connect the CAT6 STP to the Rx Extender at the port labeled “CAT6 STP Output”.

➔ If desired, you can connect IR signals to either send (port labeled Tx)

or receive (port labeled Rx) at this time.

➔ You may connect an RS-232 cable to the DB9 port to transmit RS-232

control signals.

Rx Extender:

➔ Using a short HDMI cable, connect your display device to the HDMI port labeled

“HDMI Output”.

➔ Connect the CAT6 STP cable to the Tx Extender at the port labeled

“CAT6 STP Input”.

➔ If you are using IR, connect it at this time.

➔ If you are using RS-232, connect to the RS-232 port.

➔ Power up the Extenders using the included power supplies and then power

up your source and display equipment.

Extending IR and RS-232 Control

➔ RS-232

» You can use the KD-CATHD300Lite to send RS-232 commands for controlling

remote equipment.

» Requires the use of a null-modem cable on one (either) side.

➔ IR

» You may transmit IR information in either direction. The IR input can be from

a dedicated control system or a standard distribution block’s emitter outputs. Use a ﬁxed 5v input signal with a 3.5mm mono mini jack.

» The sleeve of the 3.5mm Male connector must have good physical contact

with 3.5 mm Female input/output on the KD-CATHD300Lite.

» Some 3.5mm Male plugs feature a plastic sleeve that extends longer than an

average sleeve. This may cause poor grounding contact. See the example to the right of a sleeve that may cause poor contact.

When selecting an EDID from the library, your source device will see the KDCATHD300Lite EDID choice instead of the displays EDID, overriding the display’s EDID information. If your display is not capable of accepting the video resolution or audio type selected, you may not see a picture or hear sound. In this case please choose another more compatible EDID, or use the default EDID.

Range and Resolution:

➔ KD-CATHD300Lite w/ KD-CAT6STP1X Super CAT6 Shielded cabling:

All resolutions up to 1080p, 1920x1200, 3D up to 250 ft.

➔ KD-CATHD300Lite w/ Third-Party CAT6/STP cabling: All resolutions up to

1080p, 1920x1200, 3D up to 200 ft.

NOTE: Use metal shielded RJ45 connectors with soldered

ground wires when terminating the CAT6 STP.

Firmware Updates:

The KD-CATHD300Lite Tx and Rx have an “Upgrade Mode” switch located near the RS-232 port. The 2 position slide switch is marked “Normal” and “Program”. This switch should only be used in the “Program” position when updating the unit’s ﬁrmware. Be sure the switch is in the “Normal” mode for standard operation.

Settings

EDID Control

EDID settings may be necessary when connecting to or from an AV Receiver, or for passing 3D content derived from a Cable or Satellite source. They can also speed up the switching process from Cable or Satellite.

The possible EDID settings can range from ‘0’ to ‘9’. (‘0’ is the default).

The EDID controls are located on the Tx Extender. To change EDID settings, use a small ﬂat bladed screwdriver to turn the rotary switch to the desired EDID setting. The switch clicks at each position to ensure the arrow is pointing at a number and not in-between. There is no need to power the unit off when adjusting the EDID settings. The unit will automatically renegotiate the new handshake in a few seconds. Please follow this procedure for subsequent EDID changes.
