About KD-DA2x4G/KD-DA2x8G
Key Digital’s KD-DA2x4G and KD-DA2x8G are 18Gbps and HDCP2.2 supporting HDMI Switcher + Distribution
Amplifier kits with HDBaseT output and 4/8 Rx units included. The KD-DA2x4G/KD-DA2x8G kit is designed
for applications such as Digital Signage and other professional AV installation types, where the selected HDMI
source is distributed to up to 4/8 displays. All connected displays show the same image at the same time.
The 4/8 KD-XDALRx HDBaseT Rx extenders are all powered via HDBaseT from the KD-DA2x4G/2x8G unit, and
support extension of resolutions up to UHD/4K up to 250 ft. (76m) using CAT5e/CAT6/CAT6A/CAT7. 1080p
resolutions may be extended up to 328 ft. (100m). KD-DA2x4G/KD-DA2x8G is easily integrated into professional
AV systems with the audio from the selected source being de-embedded on analog and digital audio connectors,
and switching controllable via TCP/IP, RS-232 or IR. KD-DA2x4G/KD-DA2x8G is Key Digital App ready and also
controllable by control systems such as Compass Control Pro. EDID handshaking is easily selected via front
panel rotary dial and all UHD/4K EDID handshake files include HDR header information.

2. Connect your HDMI displays to the output ports of KD-XDALRx units
3. Connect CAT wires to the KD-DA2x4G/KD-DA2x8G’s HDBaseT output and KD-XDALRx CAT5e/6 input.
4. Connect the analog audio output to an amplifier/receiver via the analog 6-pin phoenix terminals and the
digital destination via the PCM output
5. Connect control system and/or PC to TCP/IP, RS-232, or place IR emitter over IR sensor.
6. Screw-in the two power supplies to the KD-DA2x4G/KD-DA2x8G’s unit, and then connect power to outlets.
Both power connections are needed.
7. Power on HDMI sources and displays
