IR Remote Control

All the functions of the KD-

MSW4x2Pro can be remotely 

accessed using the IR remote 

control supplied with the unit. 

The status-monitoring LEDs 

on the KD-MSW4x2Pro front 

panel will light to indicate the 

selections invoked by the 

IR remote control, just like 

when using the front-panel 

pushbutton switches.

 

Carefully install the batteries in the handheld remote control unit. Periodically replace batteries in 

the handheld unit, as the operational distance of the remote control is affected by a weakened 

power source.
The IR remote control unit is based on Infrared technology, requiring a clear line-of-site from the 

handheld control to the IR sensor located on the front panel of the KD-MSW4x2Pro unit.
The IR Extender sensor located on the rear panel can also be used to receive the IR remote 

control signal, if an IR Extender is not connected or in use.
Always point the front of the remote control directly at the IR sensor located on the  

KD-MSW4x2Pro.
The IR remote control may not operate properly if there are objects placed between it and the 

IR sensors located on the KD-MSW4x2Pro front panel.

The KD-MSW4x2Pro 4-to-2 
HDTV Matrix Switcher can be 
operated remotely using the 
supplied infrared (IR) remote 
control.  

Power “on” the unit

To operate the KD-MSW4x2Pro, be sure the unit is “On” (using the power supply provided with the 

unit).  The IR remote control has separate “On” and “Off” pushbuttons.  In the power-off mode, all 

front LEDs are Off and the video outputs are muted.

Single unit operation

The KD-MSW4x2Pro can be used as a “stand-alone” 4-to-2 HDTV Matrix Switcher (Fat Boy 

expansions have multiple KD-MSW4x2Pro pre-wired from the factory, and each unit in the 

expansion is individually addressable). Later, you will learn how to use the IR remote control for Fat 

Boy applications.  For now, single-unit, stand-alone IR remote control operation is described.

Matrix Switching with the IR Remote

The handheld IR remote control provides the same control functions as with the on-board 

pushbutton switches. Follow the instructions below and simply select Input 1, 2, 3, or 4 for Output 1 

and Output 2. 

noTE:  Be sure to select the video format

Press ‘R1’ then ‘7’ for RGBHV video
Press ‘R1’ then ‘8’ for YPbPr video

For example, to connect a DVD player connected on input 3 to be viewed on the display connected 

to output 2, depress the keys ‘Output 2’ then ‘3’ on the IR remote control, in that order.
Note that a blue LED channel input indicator on the front panel of the KD-MSW4x2Pro will blink for 

the selected output. Once the desired A/V input has been selected, this indicator blinks for three (3) 

seconds to confirm the selection.

Press two digits on the IR remote control to perform the desired input and output switching function:

First, enter the desired video/audio

 output

 (1 or 2). Simply press the button ‘Output 1’ or ‘Output 2’.

Then, use the Numeric Keypad to enter the desired source 

input 

(1-4).

Then press 1, 2, 3, or 4 to 
direct the respective source 
input device to that output
