					KD-MSW4x2 Operating Instructions   
					Introduction   
					The KD-MSW4x2 uses RCA jacks for video and audio inputs and outputs, and supports both   
					component video (YPbPr) and RGBHV video formats. Along with the video, it concurrently switches   
					and distributes digital PCM, and analog stereo audio for YPbPr operation only.   
					Thank you for purchasing the KD-MSW4x2 by Key Digital™, a state-of-the-art analog HDTV Fat Boy   
					Series 4-Input to 2-Output matrix switcher and distribution amplifier.   
					Each of its two distinct outputs can be used to drive two separate displays (and audio / surround   
					sound systems), even the most exotic high-end HDTV projectors on the market. One of up to four   
					source input devices (like DVD players, Set Top Boxes, etc.) can be independently and separately   
					selected to drive each display. Switch like a pro in the Studio, with the all-new “Fade-to-Black”   
					and “Video Muting” features that eliminate video “glitches” on the display when switching different   
					inputs. If desired, the unit functions as a distribution amplifier, simultaneously routing any single   
					input to both outputs. Also, the product is expandable.   
					The KD-MSW4x2 is simple to operate and control via front panel pushbuttons and LEDs, IR   
					(Infrared) remote control, IR Extender, wired IR, and is compatible via RS-232 with all control   
					systems.   
					The KD-MSW4x2 is perfectly suited for studio, home theater, custom   
					installation, retail, and in fact any and all analog HD and SD applications.   
					With analog video bandwidths up to 300 MHz, it handles all HD and   
					SD resolutions (50 and 60 Hz) including 1080p/60, with no degradation   
					in video or audio signal quality. Since the KD-MSW4x2 performs no   
					video or audio processing, the video and audio signals remain pure and   
					untouched, and hence the quality of the output signals is the same as   
					the quality of the input signals.   
					The KD-MSW4x2 boasts a 300 MHz analog video bandwidth due in part to the following custom   
					and proprietary Key Digital™ technologies engineered into the product to ensure the highest   
					standard of picture quality:

					associated with a source device or display   
					A/V   
					Blue   
					The "blue" video channel   
					B 
					A “Matrix Switcher” allows the user to select any input source device, and have it available on any   
					desired output (typically a display). For example, the user may choose to view a DVD player on the   
					display that is connected to Output 1, and view the satellite box on the display that is connected to   
					Output 2. A true matrix switcher, the KD-MSW4x2 provides the user with two degrees of freedom:   
					Digital Video Recorder   
					Green   
					For example, a TiVo box   
					DVR

					An RCA jack or what was called a “phono plug” is an industry   
					standard audio connector used for the audio inputs and outputs   
					of the KD-MSW4x2. The black connector jack [ “PCM”] is used   
					for the digital audio formats. Analog stereo audio uses both jacks,   
					where white = the left channel [“L”], and red = the right channel   
					[“R”]. The video inputs and outputs also use RCA connectors.

					RGBHV   
					Control Connections   
					If the set-top receiver of choice employs RGBHV outputs, a 15-pin “breakout” adapter cable may   
					needed to implement the interface. In this instance connect the red, green and blue connectors   
					from this adapter cable to the red, green and blue connectors, again on any one of the four Input   
					Ports of the KD-MSW4x2 unit. Connect the black and yellow wires from the breakout cable to the   
					white (H) and red (V) connectors of the same Input Port of the KD-MSW4x2 unit.   
					Decide how the KD-MSW4x2 will be controlled. If using an IR (Infrared) Extender, the wired IR,   
					or an external Control System (via the RS-232 port on the KD-MSW4x2), make the appropriate   
					connections now.   
					Connect the RGBHV video signals from Output Ports 1 or 2 on the KD-MSW4x2 unit to the   
					corresponding RGBHV video jacks on the desired display. A second 15-pin breakout cable may be   
					required for certain sets.   
					It is not possible to use analog audio switching when in RGB video applications because the H&V   
					sync signals required for the RGB format occupy the port connectors typically used for the audio   
					signals. Digital PCM may be used for this application, as described above.   
					This same connection procedure described above applies to any other peripheral device   
					that one may wish to interface with a desired display medium, including DVD players and   
					game consoles.   
					Lower-quality S-Video (two-wire) or Composite Video (CVBS) Source Equipment   
					S-Video   
					For S-Video applications, a “breakout” adapter cable is required to connect a source device to the   
					KD-MSW4x2 unit. This cable is equipped with an S-Video (DIN) plug at one end and a pair of RCA   
					plugs at the other connected to white and yellow conductors. Connect the white (Y) conductor to   
					the green RCA connector of the selected Input Port, and connect the yellow (C) conductor to either   
					the blue or red RCA connector in the same input field. Connect the white and red analog stereo   
					audio connectors of the source device to the white and red connectors in the same Input Port of   
					the KD-MSW4x2 unit.   
					RS-232   
					The KD-MSW4x2 HDTV Matrix Switcher is compatible with all Control Systems. Use the D-sub   
					9-pin connecter on the rear panel and an appropriate cable to attach the unit to an external Control   
					System. An RS-232 cable is not supplied* with the base KD-MSW4x2 unit. Carefully insert your   
					own RS-232 cable (9-pin) to the back of the unit, and to an appropriate PC or Control System.   
					Connect the green RCA connector from Output Ports 1 or 2 on the KD-MSW4x2 unit to the white   
					(Y) conductor of a second S-video adapter cable. Connect the blue or red connector to the yellow   
					(C) conductor. Plug the other end of the adapter cable into the TV or monitor's S-video input.   
					Connect the white and red analog stereo audio cable connectors to the white and red connectors   
					of the same Output Port on the KD-MSW4x2 unit. Connect the other end of the audio cable pair to   
					the white and red analog audio input of the display.   
					Composite Video (CVBS) Connection   
					Connect the Composite Video connector (yellow) from a VCR or other source device to the green   
					RCA connector in the selected Input Port on the KD-MSW4x2 unit. Connect another composite   
					video cable from the green RCA connector from Output Ports 1 or 2 on the KD-MSW4x2 unit to the   
					TV or video monitor. Follow the instructions above for connecting analog audio.   
					If applicable, Key Digital™‚ Fat Boy KD-MSW4x2 expansion units come preconfigured from the factory with their own   
					RS-232 cable

					Applying Power   
					IR Extender   
					CAUTION: No other power supply adapter can be used   
					with the KD-MSW4x2 unit. Use only the Power Supply   
					provided in the carton! Using a power supply other than   
					the one provided by Key Digital“ with the unit VOIDS THE   
					WARRANTY, may cause damage to the unit and associated   
					equipment, and is a potential safety hazard.   
					A rear-panel IR sensor is provided, ideal to use with an IR Extender,   
					like one provided by Xantech. The rear panel IR sensor also supports   
					the IR remote control provided with the KD-MSW4x2 unit.   
					Mount the IR extender on the rear panel of the KD-MSW4x2 unit, or connect the wired serial connector cable to the   
					wired IR connector jack on the rear panel.   
					Now that the A/V input and output interfaces are completed, it is recommended to double check all   
					cables and connections before applying power.   
					Always test all connections and final operation first, before sealing cables behind   
					walls or completing difficult wire routings.   
					Wired IR   
					A rear-panel wired IR serial connector is provided for use with an IR Extender, like one provided by   
					Xantech. Connect the wired IR Extender to the 3.5 mm jack on the rear panel of the KD-MSW4x2   
					unit.   
					To test connections before routing or hiding any wires behind walls or ceilings, use a reliable source   
					(like a DVD player) and display that is known to be functioning properly.   
					Carefully insert the Power Supply adapter plug here   
					Once all the connections have been verified, plug the connector of the Power Supply into the   
					power supply input jack on the rear panel of the KD-MSW4x2 unit.   
					Next, plug the external Power Supply provided with the unit into an appropriate wall outlet or source   
					of AC power. The external power supply is rated: + 6V DC @ 5 Amps,110-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz. For   
					added safety and protection it is recommended to use a good quality surge protector.   
					The KD-MSW4x2 unit has no physical On/Off switch, except on   
					the provided IR remote control.

					KD-MSW4x2 Operating Instructions   
					KD-MSW4x2 Operating Instructions   
					Fat Boy Expansion Control   
					Operation   
					Fat Boy expansions have multiple KD-MSW4x2 units pre-wired from the factory. Each unit in the   
					expansion is individually addressable.   
					Matrix Switching   
					Configuring a particular unit with the desired input and output combination requires the following   
					successive steps:   
					With all of the video and audio sources connected to the four Input Ports, and the displays and   
					audio systems connected to the two Output Ports of the KD-MSW4x2 unit, the matrix switcher is   
					ready to operate. The routing of video and audio signals from the available inputs to either output is   
					easily implemented using the front panel pushbuttons, and visually verifiable via the LED indicator   
					arrays.   
					1. Addressing desired Unit:   
					Depress button 1 through 8 to select the desired unit   
					2. Addressing desired Output:   
					Depress button ‘output 1’ (to select Output 1), or ‘output 2’ (to select Output 2)   
					The front panel of the unit provides the user with a visual representation of the two outputs.   
					Each of the two output sections consists of a large pushbutton switch and an array of four LED   
					indicators. Each of these appropriately numbered LED indicators corresponds to one of the four   
					available inputs.   
					3. Addressing desired Input:   
					Depress numerical digits 1 to 4   
					For either display that is connected to the output of the KD-MSW4x2 unit, the desired source input   
					is switched by depressing the appropriate pushbutton until the LED indicator corresponding to the   
					chosen input is lit. The video and audio sources connected to that input are automatically switched   
					to the selected output. The unit also acts as a distribution amplifier, simultaneously routing a single   
					input to both outputs, by simply repeating the same procedure for both outputs.   
					Additional Product Features   
					› 
					Fade-to-Black   
					The Fade-to-Black feature allows for switching between input/output combinations without the   
					usual visual signal noise, glitches, and sync roll that traditionally accompany switching between   
					video signals. The feature momentarily forces the video image to black as the desired source   
					input is selected for the chosen output. This feature is applied automatically and the fade time   
					interval is programmable via RS-232 [see the RS-232 Command List].   
					Input 1, 2, 3, and 4 LED indicators   
					Use this front-panel pushbutton to   
					select any of the up to four source   
					input devices to drive the display and   
					audio system wired to Output 1.   
					Press the button and cycle through   
					Input 1, 2, 3, and 4.   
					› 
					Video Mute   
					Video Mute enables the user to mute the video signal (the display goes to black) at the chosen   
					output. Activated via IR remote control or RS-232 [see the IR remote control section of this   
					manual, and the RS-232 Command List for explicit instructions].   
					› 
					› 
					Distribution Amplifier   
					Repeat for Output 2 using the   
					appropriate Output 2 pushbutton and   
					LEDs for monitoring the input selection.   
					It is also possible under RS-232 control to allow any one of the four inputs to be switched and   
					distributed to both outputs.
