IN-1 through IN-8 -- HDMI inputs. OUT-1 through OUT-8:

• IR-IN -- These inputs are used to send IR to the HDBaseT receivers. An IR controller can plug directly into these inputs. They are a mono-jacks, polarity insensitive (it doesn’t matter how you connect the two wires to the tip and sleeve of the connector), and they accept any voltage between 3.5V and 15V.

• IR-OUT These outputs are the return IR channels from the HDBaseT. They will drive a controller or a standard 5V IR emitter/flasher. The y us e a mono jack, the sleeve is ground and the tip is +5V when on.

• HDBaseT -- These are the HDBaseT outputs and will drive up to 330ft of Cat5/6 cable to the HDBaseT receivers. Power is also sent over the Cat5/6 cable and the HDBaseT receiver does not need a separate power supply.

• Local Out -- These are local HDMI outputs. They are not mirrored outputs, plugging in an HDMI monitor to one of these outputs will disable the HDBaseT receiver.

• RS-232 -- These allow two way RS-232 signals to be sent to the HDBaseT receiver. These are straight through connections. They are the same pinout as the main RS-232 control port (See: “RS-232 Pinout and Baudrate Settings” on page 28). The baudrates can be up to 115K.

• Ethernet -- Each HDBaseT can have an Ethernet channel sent to it. These are 100Mbs full duplex channels. There are no internal connections between the outputs, to send the Ethernet down all 8 zones, you will need some type of 8 port Ethernet switch.

Analog Audio Inputs -- Left / Right stereo inputs. Analog Audio Outputs -- Left / Right stereo outputs.

SETTING

NEXTBACK

Under the Audio menu you can select Levels to adjust: Volume, Bass, Treble, the 5 Band EQ, and Balance.

Selecting ZTrim allows you to adjust: Minimum Volume, Maximum Volume, and Lip Sync delays for a zone.

Selecting STrim allows you to adjust: Analog Gain, Digital Gain, and Lip Sync delays for a source.

Using the Front Panel

To adjust audio settings:

Use the SELECT knob to select the “Audio” option. Then choose between: Levels, ZTrim and STrim depending upon what you wish to update. In all modes use the ZONE buttons to switch between zones (or sources in the case of STrim). Use the BACK and NEXT buttons to scroll through the different options: The Levels options are: Volume, Bass, Treble, EQ1, EQ2, EQ3, EQ4, EQ5, Balance. The ZTrim options are: Min Volume, Max Volume, Zone Lip Sync. The STrim options are: Analog Gain, Digital Gain, Src Lip Sync.

Volume Settings

When adjusting the volume of a zone, the range of the volume control is from the Minimum Volume setting to the Maximum Volume setting. A volume of zero is always fully muted. A volume of 1 is the value set by the Minimum Volume setting, and a volume of 100 is the value set by the Maximum Vol ume setting.

If the volume jumps too much when moving from 0 to 1, then lower the Minimum Volume setting. If you have to move the volume control too far before hearing anything, raise the Minimum Volume set ting. The Maximum Volume setting can be used to limit the volume of the zone to an acceptable value.

There must always be at least a 50dB difference between the minimum volume and the maximum volume settings. You will be prevented from setting values that are less than 50dB apart.

Gain Settings

You can adjust the gains of the inputs to compensate for sources whose volume is too high, or too low. The analog and digital inputs can be adjusted separately to allow for the dif fere nce i n volu me betwee n the analog outputs and the digital outputs of a source.

HDA800(V2) User Guide, Version 1.3, 9/12/13

Lip Sync Delays

You can adjust both the lip sync delay of a source and the lip sync delay of a zone. Use the source lip sync delay to correct for sources that are always out of sync. The lip sync delay of a

source will apply to all zones attached to that source. Use the zone lip sync delay to correct for a monitor that delays audio to its internal speakers. A zone

lip sync delay will only apply to the given zone. The maximum audio can be delayed is 170ms. If a zone with a lip sync delay is switched to a source

with a lip sync delay and both delays add up to more than 170ms, the over all delay will be 170ms.

MENU ZONE

SETTING

NEXTBACK

Normally these settings can just be left alone, but if you run into a source that does not have enough HDCP keys to distribute to all your zones, you can use this menu to compensate. When the number of HDCP keys is set to 0, this indicates the “Normal” mode of operation. The switch will simply let the source issue keys as needed.

To determine if you have an HDCP problem, refer to the section: “HDCP Keys” on page 21. To adjust the number of keys used by a source:

Using the Front Panel

If the LCD display is not at showing the main menu press the MENU button. Use the SELECT knob to select the “HDCP key counts” option: Setup > HDCP Use the SELECT knob to scroll to the problem zone, then set the number of keys the source makes

available. If you don’t know the number of keys, just set it to 1. Once all changes are made, pressing the MENU button will cause them to go into effect.

When the number of HDCP keys is set to a value less than the number of monitors, the switch still needs to authenticate the source to each monitor. Since there are more monitors than keys, this must be done using smaller groups of keys.

If the source is capable of issuing 3 keys, then the switch will authenticate 3 monitors at a time. So the only real effect of indicating that a source has only 1 keys, is that the authentication will take longer.

Once the authentication is done, the keys will be cached. Once the keys are cached the switch will operate at full switching speeds with no flickering. However if an ything is changed (a new source or monitor plugged in, or removed) everything will need to be re-authenticated. So using a low key count will cause longer delays each time a new device is attached or removed from the switch. But once the authentication is done, switching will return to full speed.

Note: All these changes will be lost when power is turned off, unless they are backed up into EEPROM!

Once all HDCP settings have been set, and verified using the verification process (See: “Validating the installation of the HDA800(V2)” on page 26), you should save the HDMI settings into EEPROM,

to prevent them from being lost at the next power cycle. (See: “Saving the EDID/HDCP settings” on page 20)

A source that has no zones assigned is the same as a source that has all of it’s zones assigned, in

both cases the default EDID is used for that source. Once all changes are made, pressing the MENU, or either of the ZONE buttons, or scrolling to the

SET option will cause the new EDID to be sent to the source.

Locking the EDID will prevent EDID changes from registering with the switch. When the EDID is locked, all changes to the sources and zones will be ignored.

Audio Video Receivers can sometimes change their EDID settings when power is cycled. When an A/V receiver is on, it will supply its own EDID indicating what type of audio it can play and

what kind of video it can display, or pass through to a monitor. When the receiver’s power is turned off, some receivers can act like they’ve been unplugged (removing the EDID completely), others will pass the EDID of the monitor attached to its output. To the switch, either of these occurrences is indis tinguishable from a zone that’s either had the receiver unplugged, or replaced by a monitor.

Using the Front Panel

Anytime a zone’s EDID changes, the zone must be authenticated with the attached sources. The authentication process will cause the zones to blank as the EDID keys are read, and the HDCP keys are negotiated.

To prevent display blanking each time a receiver is turn on or off, the EDID settings should be locked. Once locked, all EDID settings will be ignored, and displays will not flicker when an A/V receiver is powered cycled.

Note: When the EDID settings are locked, any EDID changes will be ignored, this includes the addition of any new equipment. If any equipment is to be added or remove d from the current setup, you must first unlock the EDID settings, or the changes will not be registered.

The A/V receivers should be in their powered on state when the EDID is locked. Before locking, you should verify the installation (See: will cause all EDIDs and HDCP keys to be cached. Once this is done you can lock the EDID settings.

HDA800(V2) User Guide, Version 1.3, 9/12/13

Saving the EDID/HDCP settings

Each time the HDA800(V2) is power on, it must read the EDIDs of each zone, and negotiate the HDCP keys between sources and zones. Once these EDIDs are read and the HDCP keys negotiated, they will be cached until the next time the switch is powered down.

When viewing a source on one zone, and another zone is switched to the same source, the HDCP keys must be read and negotiated with the new zone. T o do this, the HDCP protocol requires the video to be blank while the new encryption keys are shared. This will cause video blanking and flickering on mon itors sharing the same source.

Once the EDIDs and HDCP keys are read, the will be cached by the HDA800(V2). When a zone, that has previously been authenticated with a source are connected, the keys will not be read from the source, but instead from the cache, and any shared monitors will not flicker.

When the switch is powered off, all the EDIDs and HDCP caches will be lost. To prevent this, the values can be saved in internal EEPROM and read back in each time the switch is powered on. This will prevent the initial flickering after powering on.

The following settings are saved in the internal memory:

• All EDIDs currently read into cache.

• All HDCP keys currently read into cache.

• The HDCP count settings.

Using the Front Panel

• The EDID lock setting.

To save the EDID/HDCP settings:

If the LCD display is not at showing the main menu press the MENU button. Use the SELECT knob to select the “EDID Save” option: Setup > ESave

The settings will be saved when you select the ESave menu selection. If you add or removing any equipment from the switch, you should re-save the EDID/HDCP settings. It’s best to make sure all EDIDs and HDCP keys have been read before saving the EDID settings, this

is done using the installation verification procedure, See: HDA800(V2)” on page 26.

Clearing the EDID/HDCP settings

Each time the switch is powered on, the previously saved EDID and HDCP key settings will be read, and used as the starting point.

If you make changes to the switch’s configuration, the saved EDID and HDCP key settings will no longer match the connected equipment.

If the switch is to be used in a different location, or a new project (all the equipment and connections are going to change) you should clear all the saved EDID and HDCP settings to keep from wasting cache on EDID and HDCP keys that are no longer part of the project.
