Sending your source via KD-BBTX CAT6/STP Transmit Balun(s)
»
Set dipswitch #2 of the KD-BBTX Balun to “DDC” in order to establish a proper HDMI
handshake
»
Configure the appropriate Input Card Slot to activate its CAT6/STP input using the

Initial Setup & Operation via CAT6/STP Baluns
When using Key Digital Baluns (RX/TX) you must use the following procedure to correctly format
both the baluns and HDMS8x8 matrix switcher for correct operation.
»
NOTE: Slots 1-8 are inputs, slots 9-16 are outputs.
»
The KD-BBTX Dipswitch #2
MUST
be set to the DDC position.

IMPORTANT: Make sure that you power up all baluns, sources and displays.
Confirm that you have an active connection on the Balun indicated by the solid
red “LINK” LED.
1.
By default, the KD-HDMS8x8 is configured to accept a direct HDMI connection. When using a
KD-BBTX, you MUST change the input mode from HDMI to CAT6/STP to enable the switcher
to “see” the CAT6/STP/Balun input. Select “6-Video Input Setup” from the main menu. Press
the right selector to navigate to the sub-menus. Using the left selector, scroll to the Input
number you wish to change. Using the right selector, scroll to select “CAT6/STP” and press the
right selector to enter your choice.
2.
Repeat procedure for any other input where a KD-BBTX is being used.
3.
Once you have correctly configured the inputs to accept either HDMI and/or CAT6/STP/Balun,
you need to establish the correct HDMI “handshake”.
4.
See previous section on establishing an HDMI handshake.
