Connections

The KD-HD1X1ProK provides: 1x HDMI Input and 1x HDMI Output, a 3.5mm stereo jack for analog audio output, an RCA for digital audio output, a 3.5mm stereo mini-jack for programming, a 16 position rotary EDID switch, and a 5V 2A power connection.

External Audio Outputs

Analog audio output via 3.5mm stereo phone jack › 2 channel analog audio output from the selected HDMI input source

› Converts only 2 ch. PCM audio from the HDMI input to 2 channel analog audio output

› Only supports 2 ch. PCM audio, not multi-channel PCM, Dolby, DTS, HD audio

Digital audio output via Coax/RCA › Digital audio output from the selected HDMI input source

› Supports PCM, Dolby, DTS; does not support multi-channel PCM or HD audio › Uses SPDIF format

Forced HPD

The KD-HD1X1ProK allows modifying HPD (Hot Plug Detection) protocol between source and display. Modifying HPD protocol will allow overcoming HPD handshake incompatibility between source and display. Modifying HPD protocol may also help fix other problems related to HDMI connectivity.

To change EDID settings, use a small flat bladed screwdriver to turn the rotary switch towards the desired EDID number. The switch has click positions to make sure the arrow is pointing at a number, not in-between. There is no need to power the unit off when adjusting EDID settings. The unit will automatically renegotiate the new handshake within a few seconds. Please follow this procedure for subsequent EDID changes.

When selecting an EDID from the library, your source device will “see” the KD-HD1X1ProK EDID choice instead of the display’s EDID, overriding the display’s own EDID information. If your display is not capable of accepting the video resolution or audio type selected, you may not see a picture or hear sound. In this case, please choose another more compatible EDID, or use the default EDID.

Rotary EDID Control Switch

Quick Setup Guide

With the power supply disconnected, connect the source’s HDMI cable to the Input and the Display’s HDMI cable to the Output. If a specific EDID is required, set it now (see ‘Settings’ below for more information regarding EDID). If using the external audio output, make the connection at this time. At this point you may power on your display, then the KD-HD1X1ProK followed by the source.

EDID Settings

There is a library of 16 built in EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) settings. EDID is part of the HDMI “Handshake”. The default setting, ‘0’, copies the display’s EDID information to the internal memory of the KD-HD1X1ProK. EDID settings can help negotiate the HDMI handshake in certain situations and may be necessary when connecting to or from an AV Receiver, or for passing 3D content from a Cable or Satellite source. They may also speed up switching when connected to a Cable or Satellite receiver.
