Connections
The KD-HDFIX22 provides: 1x HDMI Input and 1x HDMI Output, a 3.5mm stereo
jack for analog audio output, an RCA for digital audio output, a 3.5mm stereo
mini-jack for control of the unit or firmware updates, a 16 position rotary EDID
switch, and a 5V 2A power connection.
Audio De-Embed Outputs
Analog L/R Audio Output
(3.5mm Stereo):
›Provides de-embedded 2ch analog audio
output from HDMI input source
Digital Audio Output
(Digital Coaxial RCA):
›Provides de-embedded Digital Audio Output
from HDMI input
Notes:
›There are no volume or tone control features
›There are no DSP features. Ie, in order to achieve 2ch analog audio output,
the HDMI input source audio format must be 2ch

LED Indicator Lights
› HDMI Active LED: Blue
› Input: Solid illumination during active signal (TMDS) with connected HDMI
source device
➔If Hot Plug Detection is forced to input device from unit, the HDMI Active
light will illuminate solid regardless of HDMI signal from connected device.
➔If audio de-embed without connected HDMI output is desired, set the
Operation Mode dipswitch to HPD Forced On
› Output: Solid illumination during active link (voltage + data link) with connected
HDMI output device
› Blinking: If power is applied without any connected input and output device

EDID Control
EDID authentication is provided from the KD-HDFIX22 unit to the connected
input / source device. The EDID file (AKA “handshake”) is selected using the
EDID Control rotary on the 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.
The possible EDID settings can range from ‘0’ to ‘9’ and ‘A’ to ‘F’.
(‘0’ is the default).

Rotary EDID Control Switch:
IMPORTANT! Please apply light pressure to the EDID rotary
when making your selection.
Forced HPD
When the Operation Mode dipswitch is set to HPD
Forced On, Hot Plug Detection (HPD) voltage is forced on
the KD-HDFix22 unit in order to provide the connected
source device with necessary voltage to inform the device
that a partner (output/display) is connected and active.
If the Operation Mode dipswitch is set to the Bypass
setting, HPD signals from the output to the input device will pass as normal. In
cases of many layers of connectivity, HPD may be lost leading to no signal at the
display. In those cases, set the Operation Mode dipswitch to Forced HPD On.
Quick Setup Guide
›With the power supply disconnected, connect the source’s HDMI cable to the
Input and the Display’s HDMI cable to the Output.
›If a specific EDID is required, set it now (see ‘Settings’ below for more
information regarding EDID).
›If using the external audio output, make the connection at this time.
›At this point you may power on your display.
›Then, power KD-HDFIX22 followed by the source.
