 Connect your Analog Video Inputs:

For Analog Video, there are individual analog video inputs that are customizable, for each of the 

following video interfaces:

RGB(HV):  mini D-sub 15-pin connector
Component Video (YPbPr):  3 x color-coded RCA female connectors
The Component Video input does not support the following resolutions:

1024 x 768p
1280 x 768p

S-Video:  1 x S-Video connector
Composite Video (CV):  1 x RCA female connector

     

Note:  It is recommended that you connect your PC or Laptop video output directly to the 

VGA input on the Pioneer Plasma Display.  The analog RGB input to the KD-PC2 is 

intended to scale your high definition sources. 

c.

  Connect your Audio Inputs and Outputs: 

Your KD-PC2 also supports analog audio left and right stereo pair input and output, SPDIF 

coax digital audio input and output, and HDMI PCM digital audio input and output.

For analog stereo Left & Right Audio, there are separate stereo mini jack input and 

output connectors
For SPDIF coax digital audio, there are separate RCA female input and output 

connectors

d.

 Connect your RS-232 Control: 

As described earlier, in addition to the included IR Remote Control for operation of your KD-PC2 

video card, you can also control operation via the RS-232 port on the Pioneer Plasma Display.  

The optional Pioneer Plasma Display Expansion Solutions Slot Communications Card must be 

installed in your display to support this feature.

3. Supply power to your Pioneer Plasma Display

Once all of the connections have been made to your KD-PC2 video card, plug in the Pioneer 

Plasma Display to an appropriate source of electricity, as described in your Pioneer Plasma Display 

Operating Instructions Guide. 

 If now or in the future you need to make changes to the A/V 

connections to your KD-PC2 video card, you must first disconnect power to the Pioneer 
Plasma Display.

Basic Operation of the KD-PC2 Card

Now that you have connected your A/V equipment to your KD-PC2 video card and have reapplied 

power to your Pioneer Plasma Display, you are ready to operate and control the unit.

Configure the Pioneer Plasma Display to accept inputs from your KD-PC2 video 
processing card

a.

  Power up the Pioneer Plasma Display:

Ensure that power is applied to your display, the KD-PC2 video card is properly inserted in the 

ES Slot of the display, and all of you’re A/V inputs are securely connected to the KD-PC2 video 

card.  You can use the On/Off switch IR Remote Control provided with the KD-PC2, which 

controls power to both the Pioneer Plasma Display and the KD-PC2 plug in card.

b.

  Select “Input 3” on your Pioneer Plasma Display:

So the Pioneer Plasma will display video directly from your KD-PC2 video card, use the Pioneer 

Plasma remote control to select “Input 3” as the source.  Use the Pioneer Plasma Display 

remote control to select other sources connected directly to the display, and for other display 

functions.  Use the remote control provided with your Pioneer Plasma Display, and follow 

instructions as provided in the Pioneer Plasma Display Operating Instructions Guide.

c.

  The KD-PC2 video card is set at the factory to directly output (via an all-internal digital 

connection) 1280x768p [WXGA] to your Pioneer Plasma Display.  

Follow instructions as provided in the Pioneer Plasma Display Operating Instructions Guide 

to set your Pioneer Plasma Display for WXGA resolution.  If your display only supports up to 

1024 x 768p [XGA] resolution, then the KD-PC2 must be configured to output this resolution.  

In addition, output resolutions of 1360 x 768p and 1280 x 720p from the KD-PC2 card will be 

available in the future to support the Pioneer Plasma Displays listed in the table above,  

as Firmware Upgrades downloadable from our website.  Check the Key Digital website at  

www.keydigital.com.
