Page 6 Installation and Operation The KD-BBTX; KD-BBRX must receive power from the supplied power adapter. We recommend the use of STP cabling for best performance. Before permanently securing the unit or final installation of cabling behind walls or ceilings, test for proper operation of the unit and the cables in your system. 1. Find a safe and convenient location for the KD-BBTX; KD-BBRX unit a. The KD-BBTX; KDBBRX is shipped with a convenient mounting clip as an installation option. Once you have verified operation of the unit with your cables, secure the mounting clip to a convenient location. Carefully insert the KD-BBTX; KD-BBRX into the mounting clip provided. 2. Connections a. Plug in desired Video source into HDMI style connector port of the KD-BBTX; KD-BBRX. b. Plug in desired Audio source*: i. Audio over HDMI or ii. PCM into RCA style connector or iii. Analog L/R Audio into Terminal Block 6c style connector 3. Connecting Unbalanced Analog L/R Audio* a. On Terminal Block 6c Style Connector, depress orange buttons with small screwdriver and insert as follows: i. L Signal = Pin 3 ii. L Ground = Pin 2 iii. R Signal = Pin 6 iv. R Ground = Pin 5 * HDMI HDCP handshake information (DDC) and external audio cannot be supported simultaneously.

Page 8 Troubleshooting Most issues with the KD-BBTX; KD-BBRX setup will involve resolution and distance performance. If you experience problems (no image, video artifacts, picture dropout, noise) here are a few things to try: 1. Allow auto-equalization to take place after initial setup. Auto-equalization may take up to five minutes. 2. HDMI HDCP handshake information (DDC) and external audio cannot be supported simultaneously. KD-BBTX; KD-BBRX supports either HDMI with HDCP or HDMI/DVI without HDCP in addition to external audio (L/R or PCM). and control signals are supported in either scenario. 3. Use the shortest possible HDMI/DVI and cables between devices. 4. Lower the output resolution of the image source. 5. Use Key Digital HDMI cables. 6. Verify that the Link light is active on KD-BBTX; KD-BBRX. Link light will not illuminate or possibly flicker if the cabling is not transmitting/receiving all necessary data. 7. Re-terminate cabling in accordance with TIA/EIA-568-A or TIA/EIA- 568-B pin-pair assignments (see diagram below).
