Installation
Please use the following steps to install and set up your Colorado.
When looking at the rear of the Colorado, all inputs are on the left half and all outputs are on the right half.
1.
Component video: Connect the component video sources to the input red/blue/green RCA jacks
marked 1-16. Connect the output cables to the output red/blue/green RCA jacks marked 1-16. Be
sure to match the cable colors to RCA jack color.
2.
Digital coax audio: Connect the digital audio sources to the yellow RCA jacks marked 1-8.
Connect the output cables to the output yellow RCA jacks marked 1-8.
3.
Digital TOSLINK audio: Connect the digital audio sources to the input TOSLINK jacks marked
1-6. Connect the output cables to the output TOSLINKS jacks marked 1-6.
4.
RS-232: If needed, connect your computer or controller to the DB9 jack labeled "Control" using a
DB9 male to female normal modem cable.
5.
RS-232 expansion: If using a HMX HDMI matrix, connect a DB9 male to female normal modem
cable from the RS-232 jack labeled "XP" to the RS-232 jack on the HMX matrix.
6.
Connect the supplied wall transformer to a properly grounded power outlet. Plug into DC input of
the Colorado.
7.
Press one of the front panel buttons; you should see the LED display turn on.
Controlling the Colorado
The Colorado can be controlled by 3 methods: front panel switch, infrared remote, or RS-232 serial. You
may use any or all methods in any combination. All methods can access all features and modes.
The left front panel button controls the output selection (left two LED digits). Each press will cycle
through the available outputs. The right button controls the input selection (right two LED digits). Each
press will cycle through the available inputs. Pressing and holding the left button for 3 or more seconds
will jump the output selection to the next connector type when released. Pressing and holding the right
button for 3 or more seconds is only used in Zerokey programming mode, config mode, or for quick select
mode.
Quick select can be used to easily send a single input to all outputs. To use quick select, simply select
output 1 using the left button, toggle to the input desired using the right button, and then press and hold the
right button for 3 or more seconds.
NOTE: Output needs to be selected before setting the input.
The IR remote and RS-232 interface can select outputs and inputs directly. If using the RS-232 interface,
please refer to the programming guide on our web site. The IR interface is explained later in this
document.
The table below explains what the LED displays indicate. Note that generally the left two digits display the
selected output and the right two digits display the selected input. When selecting an output greater than 9,
the letter will flash for 1 second and then the "1" will be displayed. When "0" is displayed as the selected
input that output is powered off.
