Installation and Operation

Before permanently securing the unit for nal installation of cabling behind walls or ceilings, test for

proper operation of the unit and the cables in your system.

It is recommended that you leave enough ventilation space to provide sufcient airow and

cooling, especially if you are going to leave the unit powered at all times.

An optional HDMI cable clip (included) enables a method for securing HDMI cables the HDMI
connectors on the back of the units and helps defeat intermittent or complete signal loss due to
poor connection.

Active Input / Output LED Indicators

› The front LEDs indicate that a valid HDMI / DVI-D connection is made between the KD-HDDA Pro

unit and each Input / Output.

DVI Applications for KD-HDDA Pro Series

KD-HDDA Pro Distribution Ampliers can also be used with DVI-D sources and displays. For

these applications, use DVI to HDMI (Key Digital model number KD-MFHDMI or KD-FMHDMI)
adapters. Note that while HDMI supports both video and audio over an HDMI cable, DVI-D

your HDMI source’s output is compatible with the display devices.

Please reset the unit by either unplugging and plugging the HDMI
connections, or via a power cycle for the new settings to take effect.

Example of EDID Auto Select:

If one of your system’s displays supports 1080p and the second display only supports up to
1080i (does not support 1080p), then the highest common EDID format supported is 1080i. By
choosing the Auto Select EDID Setting, your KD-HDDA Pro unit will inform your source device to
output 1080i in order to ensure all displays receive a supported signal.
