Quick Setup Guide
1. Begin with the KD-Pro6x6/8x8CC and all input/output devices turned off and power cables
removed.
2. Connect HDMI sources to the appropriate input ports on the KD-Pro6x6/8x8CC.
3. Connect CAT5e/6 outputs to the KD-XSWRx extenders via CAT5e/6 cables, then connect
the extenders to the output devices (display, projector, AV Receiver, etc).
4. Connect HDMI outputs to the appropriate output device (outputs will mirror CAT5e/6).
5. Connect both power supplies (one for the Matrix and one for the POH Extenders) to the KD-
Pro6x6/8x8CC and all other input and output devices and turn them on.
6. Operate the KD-Pro6x6/8x8CC switcher via front panel buttons, IR Remote, Serial IR or RS-
232 control.
7. If TCP/IP control is desired, load latest firmware and set the IP address using Device Manager
software. See firmware upgrade section.
Operation:
After performing the setup above, the unit is ready for operation.
There are several options for controlling the unit. Commands can be issued via IR remote control,
RS-232, TCP/IP or by using the front panel buttons. Note that the advanced commands are
available only via TCP/IP and RS-232 protocol.
KD-XSWRx Baluns
If you will be utilizing the KD-XSWRx extender, please follow this procedure.
›One CAT5e/6 UTP or STP cable needs to be used.
›Use the shortest possible HDMI cable when connecting the KD-XSWRx to the Display. Key Digital
recommends cables 6 ft. or shorter for optimum performance.
›Ensure the CAT5e/6 cable runs directly from the switcher to the KD-XSWRx .
›Do not use patch panels, punch downs, keystones, couplers, wall plates, etc..
›Key Digital recommends the use of CAT5e/6 STP cable with shielded RJ45 connectors
for optimum performance and distances from your extender.
Extending and Routing Control Signals
›The KD-Pro6x6/8x8CC feature powerful and useful control routing features. The switchers have
the ability to matrix control signals just like it can HDMI signals.
›KD-Pro6x6/8x8CC can consolidate incoming IR/RS-232 signals to control any display/output
connected via CAT5/6 or via HDMI (control signal extension via HDMI only available with Key
Digital KD-IQJUMP12FM, female to male HDMI jumper cable for insertion or extraction of IR or
Bi-Directional RS-232).
›KD-Pro6x6/8x8CC can consolidate incoming IR/RS-232 signals to control any source/input
connected via HDMI, with Key Digital’s KD-IQJUMP12FM jumper cable.
›IR and RS-232 control signals are bi-directional, and may flow from the matrix to the zone or from
the zone to the matrix.
›The default signal path for control signals is to route IR control signals from Expansion I/O Port 1
to RJ45 output 1…Expansion I/O Port 8 to RJ45 Output 8 (the path and control signal type can
be manipulated by using the desired RS-232 command).
›When connecting the IR Emitter to the device you wish to control, make sure to find the IR
receiver area on the device.
Control Signal Extension from External I/O Ports:
The default setting for control signal extension is to route IR signals from Expansion I/O Port 1 to
RJ45 output 1…Expansion I/O Port 8 to RJ45 Output 8 (the path and control signal type can be
manipulated by using the desired RS-232 command). When routing control signals to/from an
HDMI input/output, Key Digital’s KD-IQJUMP12FM jumper cable must be used.
›Point-to-Point control routing is established by using commands containing “IRR” or “RSS”.
›Point-to-Many control routing is established by using commands containing “IR” or “RS”.

Audio Return Channel
Audio Return Channel features rely on CEC to work effectively. CEC is enabled through the
KD-Pro6x6/8x8CC matrix switcher.
ARC is supported by the HDMI Output ports only, NOT on the HDBaseT Output ports. The audio
return channel is not output via HDMI, but instead it is sent to the corresponding 3.5mm expansion
port of the output to which the ARC audio is connected to. A common 3.5mm stereo to L/R RCA
Y-cable may be used to connect to your AVR, however, the audio output signal will be PCM digital
and will only be carried on one of the RCA leads.
Example: An ARC compatible display is connected to output 8. The audio will be sent to 3.5mm
expansion port number 8.
