HDMI In
–
Audio from the HDMI Input is extracted and sent to the HDMI
Outputs, Optical, Audio Unbalanced Output, and Audio Balanced Output.
Note:
Analog Audio Balanced and Unbalanced Outputs only support 2-

format is multi-channel surround sound.

ARC
–
Audio from the Audio Return Channel (ARC) is extracted and sent to
HDMI Input, Optical Output, Audio Unbalanced Output, and Audio
Balanced Output.
Note:
Analog Audio Balanced and Unbalanced Outputs only support 2-
Channel PCM. Noise may be heard from these outputs if the ARC audio
format is multi-channel surround sound.
Control (USB Type-C)
The Control port (USB Type-C) is used for firmware updates. Connect a Windows PC to this port and run
the ZIG-PHASED Firmware Update Application (available on the Zigen website). Download the latest ZIG-
PHASED firmware then follow the instructions on the Application.
HDMI Input
Connect a video source to this HDMI input. If an Audio/Video Receiver (AVR) capable of Audio Return
Channel (ARC) is connected to this input, the ARC stream from HDMI Output 1 will be passed to this
input if ARC is enabled from the sink.
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.
HDCP Management
There are two settings for HDCP Management: Auto, and Force HDCP 1.4. By default, the Auto setting
will support the HDCP protocol of the input source (HDCP 2.2 or HDCP 1.4) and the HDCP protocol
supported by the connected sink. However, certain installations may require the ZIG-PHASED HDMI
Outputs to enforce HDCP 1.4 to ensure compatibility with certain legacy displays regardless of the HDCP
protocol of the input source.
To force HDCP 1.4 only at the output, press and hold the HDR pushbutton for approximately 2 seconds
until the Video LEDs illuminate 0001 and all other LEDs in the front panel are off. To revert back to
