Installation

The first step to enjoying the KD-VA5 is to install the unit into your system. Determine which of
the following modes of operation are needed for your analog video and sync:

Analog Video Modes

RGBHV-to-Component (YPbPr) Video conversion
Also supports SCART RGB Video input
Component-to-RGBHV Video conversion

Sync Modes

Component Video with sync on “Y
RGBHV Video with separate H & V sync
Additional sync modes supported:
RGB Video with sync on green”
SCART input (RGB Video plus Composite Sync on H input)
Composite sync on H output

Pass-through

The KD-VA5 also has a convenient “pass-through” feature that allows you to maintain
connections to your existing displays:
RGBHV-to-Component (YPbPr) Video conversion drives your Component Video HD display,
while the RGBHV pass-through continues to drive your RGBHV display
Component-to-RGBHV Video conversion drives your RGBHV display, while the Component
Video pass-through continues to drive your Component Video HD display
Take advantage of this handy feature so that you can have your system configured and ready to
operate with any combination of RGBHV and Component Video sources and displays.

Intelligent Auto Sensing

Intelligent Auto Sensing automatically switches from RGBHV-to-Component Video or
Component-to-RGBHV Video by sensing active sync on the “Y” Component Video signal. You
must understand this feature for proper output selection and pass-through operation of your unit.

Switching and Distribution

Other than Intelligent Auto Sensing™ feature, the KD-VA5 does not provide switching or
distribution capabilities. Only use each output to drive one video display, and do not daisy chain
the video inputs to any other product or products.

Application Examples

Refer to the following Application Examples for typical installations with the KD-VA5.
