How to Install KanexPro MOD-IN-HDTV-4K

• Power down the KanexPro HDMMX modular matrix chassis and unplug it from any power sources. Ensure you follow your facility’s safety and ESD guidelines during installation.
• Open the chassis and locate an available slot that supports MOD-IN-HDTV-4K. Confirm compatibility with your specific HDMMX model to ensure seamless integration.
• Insert the MOD-IN-HDTV-4K card firmly into the designated slot and secure it with the mounting screws or latches provided by the chassis. Verify that the card is seated and locked in place according to the chassis documentation.
• Connect up to four HDMI sources to the card’s HDMI inputs using high-quality HDMI cables. Verify source resolution settings to ensure compatibility with 4K and 1080p/60 as required by your application.
• If you plan to embed analog audio, connect the analog audio sources to the appropriate inputs on the card as specified in the chassis and card documentation. Ensure proper signal levels to avoid clipping or noise in the embedded audio stream.
• Power on the matrix chassis and access the control software or user interface used to configure HDMMX systems. Assign each HDMI input to the desired outputs and enable the analog audio embedding feature where required.
• Perform a test sequence: route each input to a target display, verify video quality at 4K and 1080p/60, and listen for synchronized audio. Check for 3D compatibility if your source includes stereoscopic content and make any necessary timing adjustments within the matrix control panel.
• Document the input-to-output mappings for future reference, label cables for easier maintenance, and save the configuration in the matrix’s profile library to expedite deployment in future projects.

Frequently asked questions

• What resolutions does the MOD-IN-HDTV-4K support? It is designed for 4K UHD content and can handle 4K resolutions, with support for 3D content and up to 48-bit Deep Color at 1080p/60 where applicable in the signal chain.
