How to Install KanexPro FLEX-IN-HDBT4K

• Power down the FLEX-MMX chassis and all connected source and display devices to prevent any electrical damage during installation.
• Open or access the FLEX-MMX chassis according to the manufacturer’s guidelines, and locate an available slot for a new input card.
• Insert the FLEX-IN-HDBT4K card firmly into the appropriate slot in the FLEX-MMX backplane until it seats securely and any latches or retention mechanisms engage.
• Connect the HDBaseT input from your source device to the card’s HDBaseT input port using a high-quality CAT6/6a/7 cable, ensuring a proper connection for both video and embedded audio signals.
• Power on the FLEX-MMX chassis and the connected source. Use the switcher’s EDID management controls to set the preferred display parameters or allow automatic EDID negotiation if your deployment supports it.
• Configure any required routing or matrix settings within the FLEX-MMX user interface, and verify that the 4K/60 or 1080p/60 output is correctly routed to the intended displays with synchronized audio from the embedded PCM stream.
