Getting Started (Quick Reference) Turning the HDS4x2 on or off To toggle the power on the HDS4x2 press the power toggle button 1 , or the control. To power on the HDS4x2, you can press the ON button on the remote control. To power off the HDS4x2, you can press the OFF button on the remote control. button on the remote Pressing any button on the front panel, or most buttons on the remote control will also power on the HDS4x2.
Getting Started (Quick Reference) Using the audio / video breakaway feature (continued) To switch only the video channels of a zone (video breakaway): 1. Press the audio / video breakaway selection button 4 until only the BLUE LED is lit 6 , or press the VID button on the remote control. 2. Following the instructions for “Mapping an input to an output zone”. When only the BLUE LED is lit, only the video channels will change when mapping an input to an output zone.
Presets (User Defined Discretes) Programming a preset (a user defined IR discrete code) The HDS4x2 allows you to setup a preset mapping of inputs to output zones and recall it with a single IR button press. Installations can be made more reliable, and IR programming for universal remotes becomes very simple. A single IR button press can turn on the HDS4x2, and remap either or both zones to your predefined inputs.
Presets (User Defined Discretes) An example of defining a preset 1 Assuming we want to define preset 2 A 3 4 B/A HDS4x2 to map Input 1 to Zone 1 and Input 4 to Zone 2. The above illustration shows the HDS4x2 setup in the desired mode, using normal operations setup the HDS4x2 so that Zone 1 is mapped to Input 1 and Zone 2 is mapped to Input 4 as shown (don’t worry about the decimal points). To program the A preset: 1. Press the O1 and 2.
Initial Power On Settings Changing the initial power on settings As long as power is applied to the HDS4x2 it will remember its current state when toggled from on to standby mode, and back to on. However if power is lost (the HDS4x2 is unplugged, or switched off using a power strip, or a power failure, etc.), the HDS4x2 will power up using its predefined settings.

To enter the setup mode: 1.
Advanced Control Features Front panel display intensity and modes The HDS4x2 has three intensity levels that can be adjusted, they are: BRIGHT - This is the level of brightness seen when a front panel button is pressed. DIM - This is the intensity level reached after the display auto-dims. OFF - This is the level of the standby LED when the HDS4x2 is in standby mode.

Advanced Control Features Learning new IR codes The HDS4x2 is uses Zektor’s Intelligent-IR™ system and is capable of learning new IR codes for all its IR functions. This allows more than one HDS4x2 to be used in the same room, or “trick” installations where an IR code is received by both the HDS4x2 and some other product, allowing for instance an IR code that turns on a device to also map an input to an output zone on the HDS4x2.

The RS-232 Port RS-232 port specifications The RS-232 on the HDS4x2 is the same format as a PC‑modem, and uses the same type cable as a serial modem would, which is a standard straight through cable. Do not use a cable that is marked as a “Null Modem” cable. The HDS4x2 can also be used with any USB to RS-232 conversion cable, these are all typically straight through cables.
The RS-232 Port RS-232 protocol (overview) The communications protocol used is Zektor’s exclusive K.I.S.S.™ (Keep It Simple Serial™) protocol. Zektor’s exclusive K.I.S.S.™ (Keep It Simple Serial™) protocol was designed by engineers who have been controlling RS-232 devices for most of their careers and understand the pitfalls of a badly designed protocol. A few features of the K.I.S.S.™ protocol are: • A simple and logically consistent command structure.

IR Jack, IR Format and IR Codes IR codes The HDS4x2 responds to 59 unique IR codes, 48 of them are available as buttons on the supplied remote control, the rest are extended codes. All the IR codes of the HDS4x2 can be redefined by learning a code new code from a different remote, allowing more than one HDS4x2 to be used in the same room. The factory default codes are listed here.
