OUT-1 through OUT-4: • IR-IN -- These inputs are used to send IR to the HDBaseT receivers. An IR controller can plug directly into these inputs. They are a mono-jacks, polarity insensitive (it doesn’t matter how you connect the two wires to the tip and sleeve of the connector), and they accept any voltage between 3.5V and 15V.

    Using the Front Panel Locking the EDID settings MENU ZONE SELECT EDID: Unlocked {Unlock} Lock Cancel SETTING BACK NEXT Locking the EDID will prevent EDID changes from registering with the switch. When the EDID is locked, all changes to the sources and zones will be ignored. Audio Video Receivers can sometimes change their EDID settings when power is cycled.
  • Page 19: Saving The Edid/Hdcp Settings

    Using the Front Panel Saving the EDID/HDCP settings Each time the Switch is power on, it must read the EDIDs of each zone, and negotiate the HDCP keys between sources and zones. Once these EDIDs are read and the HDCP keys negotiated, they will be cached until the next time the switch is powered down.
  • Page 20: Using The Switch

    Using The Switch Using The Switch Functional Overview The HDMI Switch Overview HDMI has many issues associated with its distribution. It was originally designed to connect a DVD player to a TV, with a few tweaks to the specification to allow for limited distribution. HDCP Keys HDMI allows for encrypted audio/video streams to be sent over the HDMI cables.
  • Page 21 Using The Switch This works well when a single source is connected to a single monitor. A matrix switch complicates this a bit. What happens when two monitors are connected to the same source? Which EDID is used to indicate what the monitors are capable of displaying? What if the monitors have different capabilities? Traditionally this has been handle in a number of different ways.
  • Page 22: The Audio Sources

    These values assume the XIO bit has been set in the ‘XS’ command. By setting that bit, all supported Zektor switches will use the same number system, as described here. If a switch does not have as many sources as described, any unused inputs will be muted.
  • Page 23: The Hdmi Sources

    Using The Switch The HDMI Sources The HDMI switch consists of an HDMI channel and an audio channel. These two channels can be switch independently for full audio/video breakaway options. The commands for doing this are explained here: “‘HSZ’ Set Zone(s) -- HDMI Switch” on page 11. The HDMI Switch’s HDMI Video Sources The HDMI video section is a full featured HDMI switch with EDID and HDCP Key caching.
  • Page 24: Validating The Installation

    Using The Switch Validating the installation After all sources and zones are connected, you should perform the following series of steps to verify everything is working ok, and to lock in the HDCP and EDID changes. These steps should only be done after using the ESet screen to make any EDID source changes.
  • Page 25: Rs-232 / Tcp/Ip Port Hardware

    Setting a static IP address vs DHCP By default, the Zektor Switch will use DHCP to retrieve a IP address, an IP mask, and the address of the router (gateway). The IP address can be set using the front panel (not all Zektor switches have front panels), or you can issue serial commands.

  • Page 27: Command Syntax

    : Carriage Returns and Line Feeds are allowed, and are ignored. : By default, the Zektor Switch adds a carriage return and a line feed to the end of its responses, after the ‘$’. This makes testing with terminal software easier. Since they are outside the ‘^’ and ‘$’ char- acters, they should be ignored by software drivers.

    ‘MV’ Set Master Volume This command controls the overall volume of the Zektor Switch. It can be used to mute all zone (by setting it to ‘000’), or increase the overall gain of the Zektor Switch, by setting it beyond 200 (0dB).
  • Page 65 ‘1’ to be set to the level ‘200’, which is full volume, without gain. The easiest way to use the volume on the Zektor Switch is to know that 200 is full volume, and 0 is off, and everything step from 0 to 200 makes the audio louder by 0.5dB.
