KD-MSW4x2 Operating Instructions
Introduction
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 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.
Typical source input devices that can be matrix switched with the KD-MSW4x2 include:
›DVD players
›Cable TV, satellite, and terrestrial Set Top Boxes (STBs)
›Digital Video Recorders (DVRs)
›D-VHS, S-VHS and VHS VCR’s
›Electronic game boxes
›Personal Computers (PCs)

KD-MSW4x2 Operating Instructions
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.
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 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:
