The following sections provide sample configurations and associated DIP switch settings for video
distribution, audio embedding, and audio extraction applications.
Video Distribution: The HD-DA-2 can be used to distribute one HDMI
devices using their best common video EDID information. In the example below, one HDMI video
source, a Blu-ray™ player, connects to the HDMI IN port of the HD-DA-2. Two displays connect to
the HDMI OUT 1 and HDMI OUT 2 ports on the HD-DA-2. The DIP switch settings shown below
configure the HD-DA-2 to both distribute video from the Blu-ray player to the two displays using
their best common video resolutions and to send 2CH PCM to both displays.

Audio Embedding: The HD-DA-2 can be used to embed digital audio from DVI or HDMI sources
that do not transmit audio with the video (for example, video from a computer via a DVI-to-HDMI
ON
OFF
conversion cable). Digital audio must then be sent to the HD-DA-2 separately from the video. In the
example below, the video output from a computer connects to the HDMI IN port of the HD-DA-2.

HD-DA-2. A display connects to the HDMI OUT 2 port on the HD-DA-2. The DIP switch settings
shown below configure the HD-DA-2 to receive video at the HDMI IN port, to embed audio from the
OPTICAL port, and to send audio and video to the HDMI OUT 2 port.

Audio Extraction: The HD-DA-2 can be used to extract audio from an HDMI source and feed the
audio to an AV receiver or amplifier or to both devices. In the example below, the HDMI source, a
Blu-ray player, connects to the HDMI IN port on the HD-DA-2. An AV receiver connects to the
AUDIO OUT SPDIF port, and an amplifier connects to the AUDIO OUT R and L ports. The DIP
switch settings shown below configure the HD-DA-2 to route audio from the Blu-ray player to the
AV receiver and amplifier.
