2 3 Connections Before making any connections, power off your source and display devices. Tx Balun: Using a short cable, connect your source device to the port labeled Input. To connect DVI, use appropriate DVI to adapters. Additionally you may connect a 10/100 Ethernet LAN cable to the TCP/IP port and an RS-232 cable to the DB9 port to transmit RS-232 signals. Connect the CAT6 STP cable that connects to the Rx Balun at the port labeled CAT6 STP Output. Rx Balun: Using a short cable, connect your display device to the port labeled Output. You may use the port labeled Pass-Through to connect (up to 20 ft.) your AVR, display or other device to the Tx unit. Connect the CAT6 STP cable at the port labeled CAT6 STP Input. If desired, you may connect your IR signals to send (port labeled Tx), or receive (port labeled Rx).
4 5 If you are using IR, connect it at this time. For Ethernet, connect the cable to TCP/IP RJ45 port. Some 3.5mm Male plugs feature a plastic sleeve that extends longer than an average sleeve. This may cause poor grounding contact. See the example to the right of a sleeve that may cause poor contact. Application Example If you are using RS-232, connect to the RS-232 port. Ethernet LAN Pass-through Blu-Ray /DVI* Display IR Emitter IR Tx IR Receiver (to control TV) Power up the Baluns using the included power supplies and then power up your source and display equipment. IR Rx Extending Ethernet, IR and RS-232 Control TV Remote KD-IRKIT300 Ethernet IR Ethernet The can transmit standard 10/100BaseT LAN data. You can use TIA 568B standards for termination. RS-232 You can use the to send RS-232 commands for controlling remote equipment. Requires the use of a null-modem cable on one (either) side. IR You may transmit IR information in either direction. The IR input can be from a dedicated control system or a standard distribution block s emitter outputs. Use a fixed 5v input signal with a 3.5mm mono mini jack. The sleeve of the 3.5mm Male connector must have good physical contact with 3.5 mm Female input/output on the.

They can also speed up the switching process from Cable or Satellite. The possible EDID settings can range from 0 to 9 ( 0 is the default). 0 EDID from connected display 1 1080i w/ PCM 2ch Digital Audio 2 1080i w/ HD Audio 20 Achieved Distance: up to 860 Up to 400 with Key Digital KD-CAT6STP1X 20 Display The EDID controls are located on the Tx Balun. To change EDID settings, use a small flat bladed screwdriver to turn the rotary switch to the desired EDID number. The switch has click positions to make sure the arrow is pointing at a number and not in-between. There is no need to power the unit off when adjusting the EDID settings. The unit will automatically renegotiate the new handshake in a few seconds. Please follow this procedure for subsequent EDID changes. When selecting an EDID from the library, your source device will see the KD- CATHD500Pro EDID choice instead of the display s EDID, overriding the display s EDID information. If your display is not capable of accepting the video resolution or audio type selected, you may not see a picture or hear sound. In this case please choose another more compatible EDID, or use the default EDID.
