4. HDMI Input to HDMI Breakaway -
In order for a Breakaway HDMI Output to function correctly, all four stereo channels on
that Output must have a clock reference in order to work. These channels must be from
the same source but can be put in any order. There are two ways of routing HDMI
channels: in groups of four where the channels stay in order: or individually where the
channels can be separately routed and or duplicated to any number of Output channels.
When switching in Groups Input channels will be routed in order ‘A’, ‘B’, ‘C’ and ‘D’ to
their corresponding Output group i.e. ‘A’ to ‘A’, ‘B’ to ‘B’, ‘C’ to ‘C’ etc. When routing
individually any combination of connection can be made but the Output must have all four
channels assigned and they must originate from the same source.
To link channels in groups
: In the Audio View tab click on one of the four channel
buttons of the HDMI Input to be routed, this could be any one of the four stereo channels
of that Input. The button will then be highlighted blue. Click on the corresponding Output
channel that matches the highlighted Input i.e. ‘A’ and ‘A’, this will also highlight blue
marking it as selected. Click the
LINK
button and all four Input channels will be assigned
in order to the four Output channels. Orange lines will link the Output buttons to that
Input. Click
TAKE
once and green lines will replace the orange ones signifying positive
connections. The HDMI stereo Input channels will now be present on the four
corresponding Output channels of the Breakaway HDMI Output.
To link individual channels
: In the Audio View tab click on one of the four channel
buttons of the HDMI Input to be routed, this could be any one of the four stereo channels
of that Input. The button will then be highlighted blue. Click on any HDMI Breakaway
Output channel, this could be a channel that does not match the Input channel i.e.
‘AudInA’ to ‘AudOutC’, this will also highlight blue marking it as selected. Click the
LINK
button and an orange line will link the Output button to that Input. Click
TAKE
and a
green line will replace the orange one signifying a positive connection has been made.
The HDMI stereo Input channels will now be present on the selected Output channels of
the Breakaway HDMI Output.
