Installation Steps

1. 

Turn off and disconnect all of the equipment

 from their power sources.

2. 

Mount the switcher

 on a rack shelf or furniture (optional).

3. 

Connect HDMI input sources

 to one or both of the HDMI inputs (see figure 1, 

C

).

NOTE:

 

Use provided LockIt lacing brackets to secure the HDMI cables to the ports to reduce stress on the HDMI connectors 

and prevent signal loss due to loose cable connections (see 

LockIt Lacing Brackets

 on page 3).

4. 

Connect an HDMI device

 to the HDMI output (

D

). By default, the EDID of this device is stored at the HDMI output.

5. 

Connect an unbalanced stereo audio source to the 3.5 mm mini stereo input

 (

B

) for analog audio input (optional). Analog 

audio input can be configured to be embedded in the HDMI signal or transmitted separately. It is available for either selected input.
