KanexPro 4K Presentation System with Click-to-Show Me Controller and Scaler

The KanexPro HDSC71D-4K is a high-performance, 7-input presentation scaler-switcher designed to streamline collaboration in conference rooms, classrooms, and huddle spaces. This robust system brings native 4K capability to both input and output, enabling presenters to connect a wide range of sources—laptops, media players, cameras, and more—and display them on big screens with crystal clarity. Featuring 4x HDMI inputs, 1x DisplayPort, 1x DVI-I, and 1x VGA/YPbPr input, it accommodates modern digital sources while still supporting legacy connection options. With two mirrored outputs—HDMI and HDBaseT—it ensures flexible distribution to local displays and remote displays or projectors across a room or building, so everyone in the audience sees the same content in perfect alignment.

• Extensive input flexibility — 7 input ports including 4x HDMI, 1x DisplayPort, 1x DVI-I, and 1x VGA/YPbPr. This mix supports both current high-definition devices and older analog sources, simplifying integration in mixed environments.
• Dual mirrored outputs for seamless distribution — HDMI and HDBaseT outputs mirror the same presentation signal, enabling a direct feed to a local monitor as well as a distant display or projector without separate wiring or sync issues.
• Native 4K presentation and scaling — The system processes native 4K video for crisp images and smooth text rendering, with built-in scaling to fit displays of varying resolutions while preserving detail and quality across content types.
• Intuitive Click-to-Show Me Controller — A dedicated control interface lets presenters switch sources quickly and confidently, reducing downtime during meetings and enabling on-the-fly screen selections with a simple, tactile workflow.
• Effortless room collaboration and control — Designed for collaborative environments, this KanexPro switcher supports straightforward setup, reliable EDID handling, and streamlined management of multiple sources, making it ideal for education, corporate, and rental applications.

How to install KanexPro HDSC71D-4K

• Plan your layout: Position the scaler-switcher at an accessible rack shelf or tabletop area where the Click-to-Show Me Controller can be easily reached by presenters and technicians. Ensure there is ample ventilation and cable management to minimize heat and clutter.
• Connect sources: Attach your sources to the available inputs. For example, connect laptops and meeting room PCs to the HDMI inputs, a media player to HDMI, a presentation PC to DisplayPort, and any legacy equipment to DVI-I or VGA/YPbPr as needed.
• Wiring to displays: Run an HDMI cable from the HDMI mirrored output to the local display. Use the HDBaseT output for long-distance routing to a projector or distant monitor, ensuring the receiving device supports HDBaseT or a compatible receiver kit.
• Power and control connections: Plug the KanexPro unit into a reliable power source. If you use room control systems, integrate the controller with the facility’s control system via the recommended interface (LAN/IR/RS-232) as provided in the user manual.
• Configure settings: Power on the system and use the on-device controls or the Click-to-Show Me Controller to test each input. Adjust EDID, aspect ratio, and any scaling preferences to suit the room’s displays. Save preferred scenes or presets for common meeting setups to speed up future use.
• Test collaboration flow: With all devices connected, run a quick test session. Have a presenter switch between sources, check audio routing (if applicable), and verify that content lines up correctly on both the local and remote displays. Fine-tune color, brightness, and alignment as needed for optimal legibility.
