Connections
½ HDMI Inputs: The 4 HDMI Inputs are located in the center of the back panel. The Inputs have a
blue LED which will light when a source is connected and synced.
½ HDMI and CAT5e/6 Outputs: There are 4 sets of HDMI Outputs and their associated CAT5e/6
Outputs located on either side of the HDMI Inputs. Both HDMI and CAT5e/6 Outputs have a
blue LED which will light when a display/Balun is connected and synced.
½ The HDMI and CAT5e/6 Outputs are both active simultaneously.
½ There are 4 Serial IR Inputs located on the right side of the back panel. These are standard
3.5mm mono jacks. Connect these to any control system for routing IR over the CAT5e/6
outputs.
½ The RS-232, Serial IR, Optical IR Sensor, Operation Mode Switch and Power connections
are located on the right side of the back panel. The Operation Mode switch is used to update
the unit’s firmware which is done using the DB9/RS-232 port. The firmware version as well as
all RS-232 commands is available through the RS-232 command ‘H’. A detailed list of RS-232
commands is available later in this guide.
½ If newer firmware is made available, complete updating instructions will be included with it.
Check the Key Digital website for any firmware updates.
Front Panel Buttons and LED’s:
Output Select Buttons
Input LEDs
IR Eye
½ There are 4 Output buttons along the front panel.
½ Each press of an Output button cycles through each of the 4 Inputs.
½ A blue LED will indicate which Input has been selected for each Output button.
½ There is also an Optical IR window located on the right side of the front panel for the remote
control signals.
KD-CATHD4x4Rx Baluns
If you will be utilizing the KD-CATHD4x4Rx Baluns (included), please follow this procedure.
½ 2 CAT5e/6 UTP or STP cables need to be used.
½ Be careful to connect the “Video/Audio” jacks
to each other and the “Data” jacks to each
other. Do not cross these connections.
½ Use the shortest length HDMI cable you can
when connecting the Balun to the Display.
½ Ensure that the 2 cables are run directly from
the switcher to the Baluns.
½ Do not use patch panels, punch downs or wall plates.
½ Each Balun is supplied with a power supply.
½ Key Digital recommends the use of CAT5e/6 STP cable with shielded RJ45
connectors for optimum performance and distances from your Balun.

Page 6 Page 7
Transmitting IR signals with KD-CATHD4X4Rx Baaluns
The IR signal going to the Balun must be from a 12v powered output such as that from a common
distribution block. The Balun does not provide power for this signal. In the case of an IR receiver,
connect the 3 or 4 wire receiver to the distribution block and the emitter output of the block into
the Balun.
When connecting the IR Emitter to the device you wish to control, make sure to find the IR receiver
area on your particular device first. Experiment with locations and test the functionality before
permanently fixing it.
Application Example
Quick Setup Guide:
Connections
1. Begin with the KD-HDMSW4x4 and all input/output devices turned off and power cables
removed.
2. Connect HDMI sources to the appropriate input ports on the KD-HDMSW4x4.
3. Connect either or both HDMI and CAT5e/6 outputs. You will require 2x CAT5e/6 UTP or STP
cables for each Balun connected.
4. Connect power to the KD-HDMSW4x4 as well as to all other input and output devices and
turn them on.
5. Operate the KD-HDMSW4x4 switcher via front panel buttons, IR Remote, Serial IR or RS-232
control.
Operation:
After performing the setup above, the unit is ready for operation.
There are several options for controlling the unit. Commands can be issued via IR remote control,
RS-232 or by using the front panel buttons. Note that the advanced commands are available only
via the RS-232 protocol.
Settings
The KD-HDMSW4x4 features a library of 9 internal EDID files, in addition to allowing the Input
source to receive a copy of the EDID information of any selected Output connected via HDMI or
CAT5e/6. The default EDID setting is “01” - 1080i w/ PCM 2ch Digital Audio. Changing to different
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 if the default EDID has problems. They can also
speed up the switching process with cable or satellite sources.
Available EDID library settings: (‘01’ is the default)
01
1080i w/ PCM 2ch Digital Audio
06
3D w/ Dolby Audio
02
1080i w/ HD Audio
07
3D w/ HD Audio
03

04
1080p w/ HD Audio
09
DVI VESA 1920x1200
05
3D w/ PCM 2ch Digital Audio
When selecting an EDID from the library (settings 01-09), your source device will “see” the
KD-HDMSW4x4 EDID choice instead of the displays EDID, over riding the displays own EDID
information. If your display is not capable of accepting the video resolution or audio type selected,
you may not see a picture or sound. In this case please choose another more compatible EDID, or
use the default EDID.
EDID settings can only be changed through the RS-232 command protocol. See the RS-232
command section below for a list of EDID commands available.

increase or decrease the IR input number from its current position.
» This command will rout the selected Serial IR Input number [1-4] to the desired Output
number over the CAT5e/6 connection.
» Example: ‘SPOASR02’: Will carry IR from IR Input port 2, to ‘All’ Outputs.
‘SPO02SR01’: Will carry IR from IR Input port 1 to Output 2.
EDID Copy and Default EDID Library:
