Connecting the Input Source
Use a HDMI cable to connect the input source to the female HDMI socket on the rear panel
(
figure 2
,
C
, on page 4).
The connectors are fully HDCP compliant. With cables up to 25 feet (7.6 m) they support
resolutions of up to 1080p @ 60 Hz with 12-bit color. With cables up to 50 feet (15.2 m) they
support 1080p or 1920x1200 @ 60 Hz with 8-bit color.
Follow these instructions to secure the input and
output HDMI connectors to the unit with the LockIt
HDMI lacing bracket provided:
1.
Plug the HDMI cable into the panel connection.
2.
Loosen the HDMI connection mounting screw
from the panel enough to allow the LockIt lacing
bracket to be placed over it. The screw does not
have to be removed.
3.
Place the LockIt lacing bracket on the screw and
against the HDMI connector, then tighten the
screw to secure the bracket.
ATTENTION:
•
Do not overtighten the HDMI
connection mounting screw. The shield
it fastens to is very thin and can easily
be stripped.
•
Ne serrez pas trop la vis de montage
du connecteur HDMI. Le blindage
auquel elle est attachée est très fin et
peut facilement être dénudé.
4.
Loosely place the included tie wrap around the HDMI connector and the LockIt lacing
bracket as shown.
5.
While holding the connector securely against the lacing bracket, tighten the tie wrap, then
remove any excess length.
Connecting the Output Displays
Use a HDMI cable to connect up to two (HDMI DA2), four (HDMI DA4), or six (HDMI DA6)
output displays to the female HDMI sockets on the rear panel (
figure 2
,
D
on page 4).
NOTE:
Secure the input and output HDMI connectors to the distribution amplifier with
the provided LockIt HDMI lacing bracket (see
Connecting the Input Source
above).
The default EDID assignment is 720p. For more information, see
EDID Minder
on page 13 or
SIS Commands
on page 17.
The HDMI DA4 and HDMI DA6 monitor the EDID of each connected display to ensure they are
compatible with the current input signal. If necessary, the following adjustments are made for
each output independently:
•
Interface format:
If the connected display is DVI and the input signal is HDMI, the signal
is reformatted to DVI. If the output is HDMI and the input is DVI, no reformatting is needed
because HDMI is backwards compatible with DVI.
•
Video color bit depth:
If the connected output device does not support the color
bit depth of the input signal, it is truncated down to the next level that is supported
(12-bit > 10-bit > 8-bit). The signal can be forced to always truncate to 8-bit via SIS
commands, disabling deep color.
All outputs carry +5 VDC and up to 250 mA on pin 18, regulated by a current limiting circuit.
