Introduction
Key Digital®KD-Pro8x8D is a UHD/4K, HDCP 2.2, and ARC supporting digital video matrix
with audio de-embedding on analog and digital audio connectors. Video outputs feature
simultaneously active HDMI and HDBaseT ports for simplistic single-wire integration with
displays throughout the distributed video system. Six short range (model KD-X88SHRx)
and two long range extenders (model KD-X88LGRx) deliver UHD/4K video up to 125 ft. and
300 ft. respectively and are powered at the matrix switch. IR and RS-232 control routing
adds up to 34 control ports to third-party control systems.

Quick Setup Guide
1. Begin with the KD-Pro8x8D and all input/output devices turned off and power cables removed
2. Connect HDMI sources to the desired input ports on the KD-Pro8x8D
3. Connect HDBaseT outputs to the Rx extenders via CAT5e/6 cables
4. Connect HDMI output of Rx extenders to the output devices (display, projector, AV Receiver,
etc)
5. Connect HDMI outputs to the appropriate output device (output signals mirror HDBaseT
outputs)
6. Connect both power supplies (one for matrix and one for the POH Rx extenders) to the KD-
Pro8x8D and all other input and output devices and power them on
7. Operate the KD-Pro8x8D switcher via front panel buttons, IR Remote, Serial IR or RS-232
control. See Setting and Adjustments via Remote section for quick adjustments during initial
installation
8. If TCP/IP control is desired, set the IP address using appropriate Key Digital software from
www.keydigital.com. Note that many advanced commands are available only via TCP/IP and
RS-232 protocol
Settings and Adjustments via Remote
Many initial installation steps may be configured using the factory remote control. Other advanced
settings may be configured using USB and software downloaded from www.keydigital.com
Matrix Switching Command via IR
IR Button Sequence = Video Mode, X, Y
»X = Output # [1-8]
»Y = Input # [1-8]
EDID Handshaking Control
EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) is a data structure provided by a digital display to
describe its capabilities to a video source. This data is also known as a “handshake” and typically
includes manufacturer, serial number, product type, resolutions supported by the display, display
size, pixel mapping data, etc.
Key Digital EDID Control allows the integrator to choose the handshake that will be provided to
each HDMI source. The integrator may select from the following EDID file options:
»Default EDID Library: The EDID handshake is relayed to the source from the matrix
switcher’s default EDID table (see table below)
»Copy from connected HDMI or CAT5e/6 (HDBaseT) output: The EDID file of a selected
output device is copied to the software of the matrix switcher and relayed to the source.
This is sometimes necessary if working with very new or very old displays.
›EDID Setup Command via IR

»YY = Output # [01-08]

Forced Hot Plug Detection
Hot Plug Detection (HPD) may be forced on the matrix switcher’s output in order to provide
connected output devices with necessary voltage to inform the device that a partner (ie video
source) is connected and active. If the Forced HPD is set to OFF, HPD signals from the matrix
output to the display 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 Forced HPD to ON.

KD-X88LGRx Control Rotary
Choose the desired setting for audio return channel (ARC), forced hot plug detection (HPD)
control, long range mode, and RS-232 mode.
NOTE: Some adjustments may require that the settings correspond on the matrix and the Rx unit.
Please read below information fully and refer to the IR, RS-232 & TCP/IP command lists for more
information.
Forced HPD On/Bypass
›In cases of many layers of connectivity or non-standard devices in-line, hot plug detection (HPD)
voltage may be lost or drop below standard levels, leading to failed display or source detection.
›If set to On, Hot Plug Detection (HPD) voltage is forced at the HDBaseT connection of the Rx unit.
The matrix will be feed a constant voltage to inform the device that a partner is always connected
and active.
›If set to Bypass, Hot Plug Detection (HPD) voltage is bypassed from connected output/display to
the matrix.
Long Range Mode
Extends 1080p signals up to 500 ft. (152m). If Long Range mode is enabled, UHD/4K signals are
not supported
The desired setting for Long Range Mode must be applied
on the Rx unit and to the desired
KD-Pro8x8D outputs (1 or 5 only)
›Long Range Mode OFF:
»UHD/4K: Up to 328 ft. (100m) using CAT6A STP / CAT7.
Up to 230 ft. (70m) using CAT5e/6
»1080p: Up to 328 ft. (100m) using CAT5e/6 in standard mode

Audio Return Channel (ARC)
KD-Pro8x8D supports Audio Return Channel. When enabled, audio from the connected display is
returned to the matrix and output on KD-Pro8x8D’s audio de-embed ports.
ARC is useful in applications where an internet-enabled display is streaming content. ARC is a
means for the audio to still reach the distributed audio system or AV Receiver.
ARC must be enabled via IR, RS-232, or TCP/IP. After enabling ARC, the output’s digital and
analog audio connection will provide the audio returned from the display/output.
ARC Support via HDBaseT (Outputs 1 and 5 only)
»Supported by KD-X88LGRx only (not KD-X88SHRx)
»KD-X88LGRx supports ARC on two connectors:
»HDMI connection from an ARC supported display
»Toslink optical external audio output of the display
ARC Support via HDMI (All outputs)
»Ensure that display and HDMI cable support ARC
