Model 1398D

Ultra HD 4K/2K

Video Distribution Amplier

Introduction

Thanks for purchasing the Model 1398D 4K Ultra HD distribution amplier from

Audio Authority®. The 1398D is designed to split a 4K HDMI®signal from

one source to a wide spectrum of HDMI display brands, as in a retail demo

environment. It is the ideal solution for merchandising 4K displays using

the latest content at the highest resolutions, and refresh rates including

2160p@60Hz. Display-source compatibility is enhanced by the 1398D’s multiple

EDID options. Link multiple 1398Ds or create a hub-and-spoke layout for large

distribution systems.

Features

● Supports resolutions up to 4096x2160@24/25/30/50/60Hz and

3840x2160@24/25/30/50/60Hz

● HDCP 2.2 and 1.4 compliant

● Video bandwidth: 18Gbps

● Wide frequency range: 25MHz~600MHz

● Supports default EDID and learns EDID from displays

● Mini-USB rmware update for expanding compatibility

● Supports all bitstream audio formats including Dolby and DTS

● Compact footprint with outputs on two sides to reduce sharp cable bends

Getting the Best Results

Many factors inuence the quality and reliability of HDMI signal distribution

installations. The following are the main factors to consider, and basic precautions

that will ensure the best possible performance.

● Source Switching - If the source device will be switched often during operation,

as in the case of an HDMI switch connected at the head end of the distribution

system, use the SYS-RST switch. This setting prevents the 1398D from

interrupting video and audio transmission to re-learn EDID settings each time the

source is switched, or a TV is hot-plugged to the distribution system.

● Resolution tracking - Set the source to output the best resolution that all

TVs are capable of displaying. Utilize the following instructions to ensure that

all TVs connected to the DA receive video signal. If the TVs have a wide range

of resolution capabilities, the highest resolution sets may not be shown to their

best advantage.

● Source resolution and video/sound quality - Sources, such as satellite

receivers or cable boxes can output at low resolutions or deliver extremely

compressed video material that may yield poor results. Consider the source

when planning and troubleshooting your system.

● Output display devices - The quality of the video image depends upon the

type and quality of the HDMI display devices used. The device with the lowest

resolution will be the reference standard for the rest of the HDMI displays

connected to the DA.

● Distance between the DA source and the displays -Long distances are

possible, but quality cables and advanced HDMI extenders may be necessary

for the longest runs.

● Connection cables - HDMI cable design and quality are extremely important

in long cable runs where capacitance can severely degrade performance. Use

Premium High Speed Certied HDMI cables designed to handle 4K resolutions

and 3D; low quality cables are susceptible to interference. Always use good

strain relief methods to prevent cables from becoming loose over time.

● Interference from nearby electrical devices - This can have an adverse

effect on signal quality. For example, older computer monitors often emit very

high electromagnetic elds that can interfere with the performance of nearby

video equipment.

Planning a Distribution System

● Each display should be tested with the source(s) being used to ensure basic

compatibility before connecting them to a distribution amp and/or switcher.

Not all HDMI components and displays are compatible.

● Since all of the displays will be receiving the same video signal resolution and

format from the source, make sure all the displays connected to the 1398D

can accept 2160p resolutions. If a display is limited to 1080p, for example,

either it will not display any image, or the source will reduce its output to

all displays to 1080p, depending on the 1398D settings. You may consider

creating two or three separate distribution systems with different sources

and different output resolutions so that you can adequately demonstrate the

highest resolution HDTV sets.

● Since HDMI connectors can sometimes become loose, mount the switcher

or distribution amplier to a at surface and add strain relief tie-downs a few

inches away from every HDMI cable connector.

Wiring the System

● Switch off all devices, including monitors.

● Connect a Premium High Speed Certied HDMI cable from the HDMI source

to the input of the 1398D. Cable lengths should be kept as short as possible.

● Connect the outputs of the 1398D to displays or other devices.

● Make certain that the HDMI cables are securely plugged into the source and

display devices as well as the 1398D. Always use high speed cables, and the

shortest length possible, for best results.

● Connect the power adapter to the AC source and then to the 1398D.

● The unit begins to function as soon as the AC adapter is connected to the unit

and AC power. There is no power switch.

● Turn on the HDMI source and HDMI destination devices and observe the

source signal on the inputs of all of the destination devices.

Note: Proper operation of HDMI distribution ampliers depends on the use

of Premium High Speed Certied HDMI cables with low loss, high bandwidth signal

handling capabilities.

Switch Settings

● EDID: Choose TV mode, or Standard 1080p (STD) mode. In TV mode,

the 1398D automatically detects and stores EDID data from the device on

output 1. In STD mode 1080p/60 becomes the reference EDID for HDMI

sources on the 1398D input.

● SYS-RST: The 1398D checks the EDID of connected displays every eight

to ten minutes. Turn ON the SYS-RST switch to prevent the 1398D from

interrupting video and audio transmission to re-learn EDID settings each time

the source is switched, or a TV is hot-plugged to the distribution system.

Firmware Updates

Contact Audio Authority Technical Support at 800-322-8346 for information

regarding rmware updates.

Troubleshooting

● For 4K resolution, rst make certain that the input cable is as short as

possible, and that the cable is high-speed. HDMI cable design and quality

are extremely important in long cable runs where capacitance can severely

impact performance. Use a quality, high speed HDMI cable or high speed

HDMI extender that supports 4K.

● Make certain that the distribution amplier is receiving power by looking at the

power LED. It should be illuminated and not ickering on and off. Intermittent

operation generally means a problem with the DC power adapter or low AC

voltage being applied to the DC adapter’s input.

● If some lower resolution TVs do not display a picture, you may need to divide

your distribution system into separate 1080p, and 2160p systems with a

source for each system.

● If some displays are not receiving video signal, or lose signal, check to see

that the correct input is selected.

● If you still experience problems using the distribution amplier, troubleshoot

by rst attaching the source device directly to each of the destination devices

in turn using the same cables you are using with the expanded system. This

is a way of determining if the problem is due to bad cables or a problem with

the other devices. If you are unable to obtain a signal using this simplied

path, suspect the cables, the source device or the display.

If a problem still persists after trying the above suggestions, contact the

Audio Authority Technical Service department via email:

support@audioauthority.com, or call 800-322-8346 or 859-233-4599.
