Validating The Installation - Zektor HDA604 User Manual

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.
• Be sure the EDID is unlocked. (See: "Locking the EDID settings" on page 18.)
• Turn on all sources, all TV / Monitors, and all receivers. Set the sources to "protected" content
if possible. (Play a Hollywood DVD -- not a copy. Set the cable boxes to a premium channel
like HBO. Etc.)
• Using the 'A' zone, sequentially switch all the zones to each of the sources .(See: "Mapping
an input to an output zone" on page 13.)
• Wait for all pictures to stabilize on each source change, verify that a picture can be seen on all
zones. There can be a lot of video blanking and flickering at this point, and if you have sources
that have manual HDCP key count settings, this could take a while. Verify that all sources can
be seen on all zones.
• You should now be able to switch a single zone between different sources without causing
flickering on any of the other zones.
• If you have a receiver attached to any of the output zones, you should lock the EDID. (See:
"Locking the EDID settings" on page 18.)
• After locking the EDID settings, you should be able to turn off an on receivers without causing
flickering on any of the zones.
• You should now save the EDID settings in EEPROM so that all the HDCP keys and EDIDs
cached will not be lost when power is turned off. (See: "Saving the EDID/HDCP settings" on
page 19.)
• Before adding or removing any sources or zones, be sure to unlock the EDID. When the EDID
is locked, the switch will ignore all new devices or changes, so it must be unlocked to register
any changes.
