Long Range Mode

KD-X444L features a long range option that extends 1080p signals up to 500 ft. (152m).  
If Long Range mode is enabled, UHD/4K signals are not supported
The desired setting for Long Range Mode is applied only on the Tx unit.

 

Long Range Mode OFF: 

 

 

»

UHD/4K:  Up to 328 ft. (100m) using CAT6A STP / CAT7.  Up to 230 ft. (70m) 
using CAT5e/6

 

»

1080p: Up to 328 ft. (100m) using CAT5e/6 in standard mode

 

Long Range Mode ON:

  

 

»

1080p:  Up to 500 ft. (152m) using CAT5e/6 (UHD/4K not supported)

IR In Mode:

Use the Control Rotary to select IR Sensor or Serial IR input mode.  Refer to the Extending 
IR and RS-232 Control section for more information

 

IR Sensor Mode:

 

»

IR Sensors can be connected directly into the Tx or Rx unit’s IR In port to collect 
line-of-sight signals from device remotes 

 

»

No external IR distribution block or power supply is needed

 

»

3-wire connection:  IR Signal, Ground, and 5V for powering sensor

 

Serial IR Mode:

 

»

Typically fed from a control processor or IR connection block

 

»

2-wire connection:  IR Signal, and Ground

RS-232 Mode:

Set the desired RS-232 mode using the Control Rotary on the Tx and Rx unit.  Refer to 
the Extending IR and RS-232 Control section for wiring information

C

4Kx2K@60, 18G, HDR, HD AUDIO

IMPORTANT: Please 
apply light pressure to 
the EDID rotary when 
making your selection.

D

1280x720p@60 DVI (no audio)

E

1920x1080p@60 DVI (no audio)

F

4Kx2K@30, 10.2G, HDR, 2CH AUDIO

Control Rotary:

Choose the desired setting for hot plug detection control 
and long range mode. 

Power cycle unit after changing 

settings.
NOTE:

  The Tx and Rx unit each have a Control rotary.  Some 

settings may require that the rotaries match on the Tx and Rx 
unit, others are only set on the Tx or Rx unit in order to work 
properly.  Please read below information fully and refer to the Control Rotary settings 
table for more information.

Forced HPD On/Bypass

 

In cases of many layers of connectivity or non-standard devices in-line, hot plug 
detection (HPD) may be lost or drop below standard levels, leading to the video source 
not detecting a display/sync device and not outputting a signal.  A display device may 
also not detect a connected source in cases of failed hot plug detection.

 

If set to On, Hot Plug Detection (HPD) voltage is forced at the HDMI connection of the 
Tx/Rx unit.  The connected source/display device will be fed a constant voltage to 
inform the device that a partner is always connected and active. 

 

If set to Bypass, Hot Plug Detection (HPD) voltage is bypassed from connected output/
display to the input/source.
