Audio Return Channel (ARC) KD-Pro8x8D supports Audio Return Channel. When enabled, audio from the connected display is returned to the matrix and output on KD-Pro8x8D’s audio de-embed ports. ARC is useful in applications where an internet-enabled display is streaming content. ARC is a means for the audio to still reach the distributed audio system or AV Receiver.
IR & RS-232 Control Routing Ports and Uses KD-Pro8x8D can pass-thru or route control signals just like it can HDMI signals. Control Connections and Signals 8x HDBaseT Rx › 9x Control I/O on matrix › Port 9 is recommend as the primary IR/RS-232 input source for control routing »...
