Installation and Operation
Before permanently securing the unit for
final installation, test for proper operation of the
unit and cables in your system. It is
recommended that you leave enough ventilation
space to provide sufficient airflow and cooling.
An optional HDMI cable clip (included) allows
for a secure connection of HDMI cables to

➔Use the port labeled “HDMI Pass-Through” to connect (up to 20 ft.) your AVR,
display or other device to the Tx unit. Active signal corresponds with the current
video selection dictated by current video selection (HDMI or VGA).
➔Make IR In and Out connections to receive (IR In port) or send (IR Out port)
control signals. Refer to the “Extending Ethernet, IR & RS-232 Control” for more
information.
➔Connect a 10/100 Ethernet LAN cable to the TCP/IP port to carry network
information for control, internet, or intranet.
➔
Connect a DB9 cable for bi-directional RS-232 control. Refer to the “Extending
Ethernet, IR & RS-232 Control” for more information.
Connections
Before making any connections, power off your source and display devices.
Tx Unit:
➔Using a short HDMI cable, connect your source device to the HDMI port labeled
“HDMI Input”. To connect DVI or Display Port, use appropriate adapters.
➔Using a short VGA video and 3.5mm stereo audio cable, connect your analog
source device to the 15pin port labeled “VGA Input” and “Audio L/R Input”. See
Specifications section for supported analog video input resolutions. NOTE:
Analog audio must always be accompanied by a present analog video source to
achieve output HDMI source on Rx unit.
➔Choose HDMI or VGA input with “Video Select” switch. “Auto” selection will
defer to setting of Rx unit or utilize Intelligent Auto Sensing when both Tx and Rx
have selected “Auto”
➔Connect the CAT5e/6 cable that attaches to the Rx unit at the port labeled
“CAT5e/6 Output”.

➔Connect the CAT5e/6 cable at the port labeled “CAT5e/6 Input”.
➔If you are sending or receiving IR, connect it at this time
➔For Ethernet, connect the cable to TCP/IP RJ45 port.
➔If you are transmitting or receiving RS-232, connect to the RS-232 port
➔Connect power to the Tx and Rx using the included power supplies and then
power up your source and display equipment.

Using Intelligent Auto Sense
™
Intelligent Auto Sense (iAS
™
) will automatically switch
inputs when Hot Plug Detect voltage becomes active on
an input. iAS™ is enabled when the “Video Select” switch is set to “Auto” on both
the Tx and Rx units. If the Tx and Rx units do not correspond, the Rx unit settings
will override the Tx unit.
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
™
.
➔Newly active signal selection
»Selection is made regardless of if a current active signal is selected
»Newly active signal is automatically selected when both Tx and Rx are set to
“Auto”
»If Tx unit is set to “Auto”, user can manually select “HDMI” or “VGA” using
“Video Select” switch on the Rx unit.
➔Newly inactive signal
»Automatic switch to the next available active input
➔IR In: IR In ports support IR sensors only, not hard-wired IR from Master
Controllers or IR Connection Blocks
»IR Sensor:
»IR Sensors can be connected directly into IR In port, without the need for
an external IR distribution block
»5V powering of the IR sensor on the Tip, IR signal on the Ring.
IR In Tip Ring Sleeve

➔IR Out:
»Pass-through from signal of corresponding IR In port
»Driving power: 5V with 32mA minimum current
»Typically connected with an IR emitter
IR Out Tip Ring Sleeve
Serial IR IR Out N/C Ground
»The sleeve of the 3.5mm Male connector must have good physical contact
with 3.5 mm Female input/output on the KD-X1000ProK.
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 on
the left.

Control Dipswitches
The Control dipswitch enables the integrator to choose the desired setting for RS-
232 Mode, Extension Mode, and Hot Plug Detection Control.
Dipswitches are set to “On” in the down position and indicated in the below table as
“1”. Dipswitches are set to “Off” in the up position and indicated in the below table
as “0”
Desired Extension Mode settings must always match on the Tx and Rx units. If not,
the HDBaseT Link light will steadily blink on the Tx and Rx units.

EDID Control
EDID authentication is provided from the KD-X1000ProK Tx unit to the connected
input / source device. The EDID file (AKA “handshake”) is selected using the EDID
Control rotary on the Tx unit and provides a list of compatible video and audio
formats as well as digital data, informing the source device what it should output.
Most sources will comply with a new EDID file without a power-cycle, but each
source may behave differently. Adjustments may be necessary to help achieve
desired video and audio formatting and may speed up sync time.

Extension Modes
KD-X1000ProK supports two different modes of signal extension selectable using
the Control dipswitches.
»Standard Mode (HDBaseT Class A): Supports resolutions up to 4K/UHD
»Long Range Mode: 4K resolutions not supported
The desired Extension Mode must always match on the Tx and Rx units.
»Note: Distance performance is significantly increased when
using Key Digital KD-CAT6STP1X Super CAT6/STP cabling.
Range and Resolution:
➔Standard Mode (HDBaseT Class A). Supports resolutions up to 4K/UHD.
»Up to 300 ft. @ 4K/24/25/30/60 using KD-CAT6STP1X cabling

Long Range Mode Switch – Rx Unit
Must correspond with selected Extension mode of the Tx unit. If selected Extension
Mode settings do not match on the Tx and Rx units, the CAT5e/6 Input and Output
LEDs will consistently blink and signal extension will fail.
Forced Hot Plug Detection (HPD)
Hot Plug Detection (HPD) may be forced on the Tx unit in order to provide connected
devices with necessary voltage to inform the source device that a partner (display) is
connected and active. If the Control dipswitches are set to any HPD Bypass setting,
HPD signals from the output to the input device will pass as standard. In cases of
many layers of connectivity, HPD may be lost leading to no signal at the display.
In those cases, fix the Control dipswitches to any Forced HPD setting.
