Typical Application Example for the KD-MSW4x2Pro HDTV Matrix Switcher
Detailed Input/output Descriptions
The interconnection of video and audio equipment in the various formats supported by the KD-
MSW4x2Pro unit is described here in detail. This section is particularly useful if some source
devices or displays are only available with S-Video or Component Video formats.
High-quality Component Video (YPbPr) and “VGA” (RGBHV) Source Equipment
Some source equipment may have an analog video output that is called Component Video, a
3-wire video format with the video signals labeled YPbPr. Another common analog video output
format is RGB (like the “VGA” outputs on a computer), which typically has separate H&V sync
signals. The KD-MSW4x2Pro HDTV Matrix Switcher is the perfect choice for switching Component
Video and RGBHV Video source devices to displays with analog inputs.
Example:
Connecting a digital TV set-top receiver with Component Video three-wire YPbPr or
“VGA” five-wire RGBHV video Outputs to the KD-MSW4x2Pro HDTV Matrix Switcher Inputs.
YPbPr Component Video
Connect the three-wire green, blue and red YPbPr cables from the set-top receiver of choice, to
the Y, Pb, and Pr connectors of any one of the four Input Ports on the rear of the KD-MSW4x2Pro
unit. Connect the white and red analog stereo audio cables from the set-top receiver to the L and
R connectors of the same Input Port of the KD-MSW4x2Pro unit. If a digital audio coaxial output is
available on the set-top receiver, it can then connect to the PCM connector on the KD-MSW4x2Pro
unit. If a digital audio coaxial output is available on the set-top receiver, it can then connect to the
PCM connector on the KD-MSW4x2Pro unit.
Connect the Output Ports 1 or 2 on the KD-MSW4x2Pro unit to the corresponding component
video jacks on the desired display. Connect the analog audio jacks from the same Output Port to
the corresponding audio jacks on the audio system (which may be built into the display). If digital
PCM audio is desired from the set-top receiver, connect a cable from the PCM connector in the
same chosen Output Port to the A/V receiver’s coaxial digital audio input.

For proper operation of the high quality electrical circuits in the KD-MSW4x2Pro
unit, do noT “daisy chain” inputs:
Each input of the KD-MSW4x2Pro has its own 75
Ω
termination
Do noT feed a source to multiple KD-MSW4x2Pro inputs without proper
distribution equipment
➔
➔
CAuTIon: To prevent damage to equipment, do noT connect the KD-MSW4x2Pro
digital PCM audio outputs to any analog audio inputs on a display or audio system!
