ZIG-ADM Introduction
This 4K UHD HDMI unit with Dolby® Digital/DTS® Stereo Audio Decoder, supports the
transmission of high bandwidth (18Gbps) video and allows the associated audio signal
to be simultaneously extracted and split to both digital and analog audio outputs,
providing highquality audio extraction and video performance. This unit can decode
standardDolby Digital & DTS formats up to 5.1 and output the audio as stereo (LPCM
2.0) over HDMI, S/PDIF (optical and coaxial) as well as analog RCA connections. It can
also support the pass-through of HD andstandard bitstream formats as well as LPCM
7.1 with audio sampling ratesup to 192 kHz if needed. If the connected display
supports ARC (Audio Return Channel), then this unit can extract the ARC audio and
output via all available audio outputs. Both the input and output HDMI ports support 4K
UHD resolutions up to 4K@60Hz (YUV 4:4:4, 8-bit). Built in EDID management support
allows the usertoselect from multiple EDID’s and, with the use of optional PC software,
to edit, upload and download EDID files.

1Power LED
This LED will illuminate to indicate the unit is ONand receiving power.
2PCM LED
This LED will illuminate when LPCM audio is detectedon the HDMI input. If the ARC function
is active, this LED willalsoilluminate when LPCM is detected from the ARC source.
3dts LED
This LED will illuminate when DTS 2.0+Digital audio is detected on the HDMI input. If the ARC
function is active, thisLED will also illuminate when DTS 2.0+Digital audio is detected from the
ARC source.
4Dolby LED
This LED will illuminate when Dolby Digital audio is detected on the HDMI input. If the ARC
function is active, thisLED will also illuminate when Dolby Digital audio is detected from theARC
source.
5ARC LED
Pressing this button will enable/disable the unit’s ARC (Audio Return Channel) functionality. When
the ARC function is enabled, the LED will illuminate and ARC audio sent back from the connected
display will output over all local audio outputs. When the ARC function is not enabled the LED will

1HDMI IN
Connect to HDMI source equipment such as a media player, game console or set-top box.
2HDMI OUT
Connect to an HDMI TV, monitor or amplifier for digital video and audio output.
3L/R OUT
Connect to power amplifier for stereo analog audio output.
4COAX OUT
Connect to A/V receiver for digital audio output using an appropriate coaxial cable.
5OPTICAL
Connect to A/V receiver for digital audio output using an appropriate optical cable.
6HDMI AUDIO BYPASS / 2CH
This switch controls the audio output format for the HDMI port. Sliding the switch to the left sets
it to “BYPASS” which allows audio to pass unchanged from the HDMI input port. Sliding the
switch to the right sets it to “2CH” which enables decoding Dolby Digital and DTS audio from the
HDMI input and down-mixing it to LPCM 2.0.
7SPDIF BYPASS / 2CH
This switch controls the audio output format for the S/PDIF audio output ports (Optical and
Coaxial). Sliding the switch to the left sets it to “BYPASS” which allows audio to pass unchanged
from the HDMI input port. Sliding the switch to the right sets it to “2CH” which enables decoding
Dolby Digitaland DTS audio from the HDMI input and down-mixing it to LPCM 2.0.
8EDID
Connect to powered amplifier for stereo analog audio output.
9SERVICE
This slot is for EDID management, control and firmware update use. Connect directly to your
PC/laptop using astandard Mini-USB cable to connect using the PC software or to send
commands (via virtual COMport).
10 DC 5V
Plug the 5V DC power adapter into the unit and connect it to an AC wall outlet for power.
