KDMSW8x4 Operating Instructions
BASIC OPERATION
A “Matrix Switcher” allows you to select any input device, and have it available on the output
(typically a display) of your selection. For example, not only can you select your DVD player as
the source of video for your enjoyment from your total array of source devices like Set Top
Boxes and DVR’s, but you can also direct the DVD player to appear on your HDTV or any par-
ticular display you have connected to the output of your Matrix Switcher, while you monitor
other sources on other displays under your command.
All input/output combinations are configurable via the front panel pushbuttons and clearly dis-
played by LED indicators for each of the output fields. Switching can be accomplished conve-
niently in any of three ways:
■
Manually, using the front panel pushbuttons and LED indicators
■
Remotely, using the supplied IR remote control
■
Using the RS-232 control
Manual configuration of A/V Inputs and Outputs
Manual routing of video and audio signals from the available inputs to selected outputs is easily
implemented on the KD-MSW8x4 HDTV Matrix Switcher using the front panel pushbuttons,
and visually verifiable via the LED indicator array for each of the four output fields.
The front panel of the KD-MSW8x4 HDTV Matrix Switcher provides the user with a visual rep-
resentation of the four output fields. Each of these four segments consists of a large pushbut-
ton and an array of eight LED indicators. Each of these appropriately numbered LED indicators
corresponds to one of the eight available inputs.
Once the input source devices and the output displays have been connected to the KD-
MSW8x4 HDTV Matrix Switcher they can easily be configured into desired combinations using
these simple pushbuttons.
Note: If depressing the front panel pushbuttons has no effect, please be sure your unit is not in
the Front Panel Lockout Mode. Refer to the section in the IR Remote Control later in this
manual. You may need to depress the R1 key followed by "0" to enable the front panel
pushbuttons.
