Note: No signal conversion is done on the KD-HD2x1ProK; KD-HD4x1ProK.
If input signal is HDMI output signal will be HDMI. If input signal is DVI output signal will be DVI.
Installation and Operation
Before permanently securing the unit for nal installation,
test for proper operation of the unit and cables in your
system. It is recommended that you leave enough
ventilation space to provide sufcient airow and cooling.
An optional HDMI cable clip (included) allows for a
secure HDMI cable connection to be made to the rear of
the unit and helps defeat intermittent or complete signal
loss due to poor connection.
Active Input / Output LED Indicators
Your KD-HD ProK unit may be controlled via the pushbutton on the front of the unit. Select
your desired input by depressing the “Input Select” button. The front LED indicators (1, 2, 3, 4)
correspond to the selected input.
DVI Applications
KD-HD ProK HDMI Switchers can also be used with DVI-D sources and displays. For these
applications, use DVI to HDMI adapters. Note that while HDMI supports both video and audio
over an HDMI cable, DVI-D supports only video.

Serial IR & IR Emitter Control
The “Serial IR” port requires the use of a Male 3.5mm Mono cable (not included) with the IR
command signal being carried on the “Tip” of the input inserted into the KD-HD ProK unit. The
location of the IR signal may vary by control system used. Please verify the location of the IR
signal with your control system.
Ground
Signal
When using the IR Emitter / IR Extender (sold separately), the IR
Emitter must be mounted over the IR Sensor on the KD-HD ProK
unit. It is recommended that the rear IR sensor of the KD-HD
ProK unit be utilized for these applications. One end of the cable is connected to the IR Receiver /
Master Controller / IR Extender / IR Connecting Block, while the other end is mounted over the IR
Sensor of the KD-HD ProK unit.
EDID Control Settings
At times, your HDMI sources and display may not synchronize properly.
This is when EDID* control should be utilized. KD-HD ProK Switchers
feature an internal library of EDID settings to ensure your HDMI source’s
output is compatible with the display devices.
Please reset the unit by either unplugging and plugging the HDMI
connections, or via a power cycle for the new settings to take effect.
EDID Settings
›The default EDID is ‘00’--Copy EDID from HDMI output.
The 16 possible EDID settings range from ‘00’ to ‘F’. (‘00’ is the default).

Series switch, press the following buttons on the Key Digital IR remote control:
R3 » R1 » R2 » XX
The XX characters will be replaced with the two digit address you wish to assign to the unit.
The default address is 00--Single unit mode.
HPD Control
You may force Hot Plug Detection (HPD) to a source, or use Normal HPD mode (default).
›To set the Normal HPD mode (default) press the following buttons on the Key Digital IR remote
control:
R1 » R2 » R3 » 0 » 1
›So set Forced HPD on, press the following: R1 » R2 » R3 » 0 » 0

Example of EDID Auto Select:
If one of your system’s displays supports 1080p and the second display only supports up to
1080i (does not support 1080p), then the highest common EDID format supported is 1080i. By
choosing the Auto Select EDID Setting, your KD-HD ProK unit will inform your source device to
output 1080i in order to ensure all displays receive a supported signal.

Using iAS Intelligent Auto Sense
™
Intelligent Auto Sense (iAS
™
) will automatically switch inputs
when a Hot Plug Detect signal becomes active on an input.
iAS
™
can be enabled and disabled via IR or RS-232 control.
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
™
.
When the blue “Auto” button on the IR remote is pressed or the ‘SPC AS ON’ RS-232 command
is sent, iAS will be activated on the KD-HD ProK unit.
NOTE: iAS will be disabled when the input button on the front of the unit is pressed to switch
inputs or if any of the input select/scroll buttons on the IR remote are pressed.
