Installation and Operation

Before permanently securing the unit for final 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 sufficient airflow and
cooling, especially if leaving the unit powered at all times.

An optional HDMI cable clip (included) allows for a secure HDMI cable connection to be made to
the rear of the unit and helps defeat intermittent or complete signal loss due to poor connection.

Active Input / Output LED Indicators

Your KD-HDSW unit may be controlled via the pushbutton on the front of the unit. Select your
desired input by depressing the “Input Select” button. The front LED indicators (1, 2, 3, 4)
correspond to the selected input.

DVI Applications for KD-HDSW Pro Series

KD-HDSW Pro Distribution Amplifiers can also be used with DVI-D sources and displays. For
these applications, use DVI to HDMI adapters. Note that while HDMI supports both video and
audio over an HDMI cable, DVI-D supports only video.

Serial IR & IR Emitter Control

› The “Serial IR” port requires the use of a Male 3.5mm Mono cable (not included) with the IR

command signal being carried on the “Tip” of the input inserted into the KD-HDSW unit. The
location of the IR signal may vary by control system used. Please verify the location of the IR
signal with your control system.

Ground

Signal

› When using the IR Emitter / IR Extender (sold separately), the

IR Emitter must be mounted over the IR Sensor on the KD­HDSW unit. It is recommended that the rear IR sensor of the
KD-HDSW unit be utilized for these applications. One end of
the cable is connected to the IR Receiver / Master Controller
/ IR Extender / IR Connecting Block, while the other end is
mounted over the IR Sensor of the KD-HDSW unit.

EDID Control Settings

At times, your HDMI sources and display may not synchronize properly.
This is when EDID* control should be utilized. KD-HDSW Pro
Switchers feature an internal library of EDID settings to ensure 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-HDSW Pro unit will inform your source device to
output 1080i in order to ensure all displays receive a supported signal.

* EDID (Extended display identification data) is a data structure provided

by a display to describe its capabilities to a source device.

™

Intelligent Auto Sense (iAS™) automatically switch inputs
when Hot Plug Detect signal becomes active on an input.

™

iAS

can be enabled and disabled via IR or RS-232 control.
Please note that many common HDMI sources, such as a cable or satellite boxes, will emit Hot
Plug Detect signals when in stand-by mode and may prevent full functionality of iAS

™

.

When the blue “Auto” button on the IR remote is pressed or the ‘SPC AS ON’ RS-232 command
is sent, iAS will be activated on the KD-HDSW Pro unit.
