Installation and Operation
Before permanently securing the unit for final installation of cabling behind walls or ceilings, test for
proper operation of the unit and the cables in your system.
It is recommended that you leave enough ventilation space to provide sufficient airflow and
cooling, especially if leaving the unit powered at all times.
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-HDSW 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 for KD-HDSW Pro Series
KD-HDSW Pro Distribution Amplifiers 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-HDSW 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-
HDSW unit. It is recommended that the rear IR sensor of the
KD-HDSW 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-HDSW unit.

EDID Control Settings
At times, your HDMI sources and display may not synchronize properly.
This is when EDID* control should be utilized. KD-HDSW Pro
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.

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-HDSW Pro unit will inform your source device to
output 1080i in order to ensure all displays receive a supported signal.
