About KD-X444SP

Key Digital® KD-X444SP is a 4K/UHD 18Gbps, HDCP2.2 compliant HDMI over CAT5e/6 Transmitter plus

Receiver set for extension of digital video signals with the latest standards in resolution, HDR, and Chroma

over a single CAT cable.

KD-X444SP extends video resolutions up to 4096x2160 at 60hz with 4:4:4 chroma sub-sampling over a

single CAT5e/6 cable up to 164ft (50m).

In addition to HDMI AV, KD-X444SP carries IR or RS-232 for controlling remotely located equipment. An IR

sensor and IR emitter are included, and the Tx unit’s IR Input port supports Serial IR input directly from a

control system / IR block. With Power over CAT (PoC), only one power supply is needed, and it may be

connected at either unit for ease of installation.

KD-X444SP features Key Digital’s proprietary Full Buffer Technology software suite, with EDID handshake

management, fixed hot plug detection, HDCP authentication to the connected source, and TMDS signal re-

clocking for installation with long cabling or many connectivity layers.

Quick Connection Guide

BeginwiththeTxandRxunitsandallinput/outputdevicesturnedoff withpowercablesremoved

1. Connect your HDMI source to the input port of the Tx unit.

2. Connect your HDMI display to the output port of the Rx unit.

3. Connect a CAT5e/6 cable between Tx and Rx unit. Use 568-B termination.

4. Connect IR emitter from the IR Out port of the Tx or Rx unit and mount over the IR receptor of the

device you wish to control.

5. IR Input is specific on the Tx and Rx unit.

a. The Tx unit supports hard-wired / serial IR connections only with the following pinout:

b. The Rx units supports connection with the included IR Sensor only. Mount the sensor in a

location to easily collect line of sight IR signals from remotes.

6. Connect RS-232 from your control system or computer.

a. TxD from the Controller connects into RxD of the extender

b. RxD from the Controller connects into TxD of the extender

c. Ground from the Controller connects into Ground of the extender

7. BEFORE connecting power supply to power outlet, screw-in the power supply to the Tx or Rx unit.

AFTER all connections are made, plug-in power supply to power outlet

8. Power on source and display

EDID Management Rotary

Use the EDID rotary if you wish for your source to output a

different video resolution and audio format

•The default EDID handshake setting is “A” (4Kx2K@60,

18G, HDR, 2ch audio).

•If setting 0 is selected, the Rx unit collects the EDID

handshake from the connected display and a handshake

is provided to the source that is similar to the EDID file of

the display, but within KD-X444SP’s capabilities.

•Although it is not necessary, power cycling the Tx unit and HDMI source may help the detection of the

newly selected handshake.

Forced HPD Switch

Troubleshooting tool to help overcome installation obstacles.

•In cases of many connectivity layers or use with non-standard devices, hot plug detection (HPD) voltage

may be lost or drop below detectable levels and lead to a “no source connected” error message and/or

no image on the connected display.

•If set to ON, Hot Plug Detection (HPD) voltage is fixed at the HDMI connection of the Rx unit. The

connected display will be fed a constant voltage to inform the device that a partner is always connected

and active.

•If set to OFF, Hot Plug Detection (HPD) voltage is passed thru from connected source to the display

USB Service Port, Operate / FW Load Switch

Used for firmware updates only.

•Ensure that the Firmware Mode switch is set to Operate on the Tx and Rx units for proper functionality.

•Consult with Key Digital Technical Support (tech@keydigital.com) before upgrading firmrware.

•USB to RS-232 interface required. Not included.
