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
KD-X600ProK units and helps prevent
intermittent or complete signal loss due to
poor connectivity.

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

Settings
EDID Control
EDID authentication is provided from the KD-X600ProK 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.

➔Bi-directional IR control extension is supported.
»“IR In” port on the Tx unit extends to the “IR Out” port of the Rx unit
»“IR In” port on the Rx unit extends to the “IR Out” port of the Tx unit
➔IR In: IR In ports support two different modes, determined by the position of the
Control Rotary.
»Serial IR:
»A fixed 5V input signal with a 3.5mm mini jack
»IR signal on the tip. Mono or stereo 3.5mm mini jacks are supported, with
the ring having no contact.
»Typically fed from a dedicated control system or an IR distribution block
»IR Sensor:
»IR Sensors can be connected directly into IR In port, without the need for
an external IR distribution block
»IR signal on the Tip, with 5V powering of the IR sensor on the Ring.

Forced Hot Plug Detection (HPD)
Hot Plug Detection (HPD) may be forced on the Tx and/or Rx units in order to
provide connected devices with necessary voltage to inform the device that a partner
(source/display) is connected and active. If the Control rotary is set to any HPD
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, fix the Control rotary to any Forced HPD setting.
Extension Modes
KD-X600ProK supports two different modes of signal extension selectable using
the Control rotary.
»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.
Control Rotary
The Control rotary enables the integrator to choose the desired
setting for IR In ports, RS-232 Mode, Hot Plug Detection
Control, and Extension Mode.
In many settings, the Control rotary setting may not match on
the Tx and Rx units. However, the desired Extension Modes
must always match on the Tx and Rx units.
