HDMI Inputs
Connect the video sources to any of the four HDMI inputs, which corresponds to the HDMI Selection
buttons 1-4 located in the front. Input #1 supports Audio Return Channel (ARC), and by default, should
be connected to an ARC capable Audio/Video Receiver (AVR) or Soundbar.
Note: Zigen highly recommends the use of premium 4K certified HDMI cables when viewing UHD 60p
4:4:4 or UHD 60p HDR 4:2:2 video resolutions. Zigen offers these premium 4K certified cables in varying
lengths from 3 meters to 9 meters.
HDMI Output
Connect a display to this HDMI Output. One of the selected inputs will route video and embedded audio
to this output. If ARC is enabled, audio sent to the display from the selected HDMI Input or audio sourced
from the display (SmartTV Apps) will be passed through to HDMI input #1 if an ARC capable Audio/Video
Receiver (AVR) or Soundbar is connected.
SPDIF (TOSLINK) Output
This SPDIF (TOSLINK) optical port will output the embedded audio either from the selected HDMI Inputs
or from HDMI Out ARC depending on the audio source selection from the ZigNet Web Interface. The
SPDIF output supports 2-Channel PCM as well as surround sound formats like Dolby Digital and DTS.
Unbalanced Analog Audio RCA Outputs
The RCA Left/Right connectors will output analog audio either from the selected HDMI Inputs or from
HDMI Out ARC depending on the audio source selection from the ZigNet Web Interface. Only 2-Channel
Stereo audio format is supported. Noise will be heard on the RCA Outputs if a surround sound audio
format, such as 5.1, 7.1, Dolby Digital, DTS, etc., is configured.
RS-232 Connection
An RS-232 connection is typically connected to a 3rd party Control System to configure the SW-41Plus.
Communication through the RS-232 port is enabled in both Active and Standby Modes.
