Setting the Initial Power On State Step 1: Set the HDVI5 to the preferred initial power on state 1 2 3 4 5 SEL A1 A2 As long as the HDVI5 is plugged in, it will remember the previously selec ted input in standby mode. When powered up by pressing the Power button, it will retur n to that previously selec ted channel. However, if power is removed (for instance a plug str ip used to power the HDVI5 is tur ned off ), and then re -applied, the HDVI5’s default behavior is to enter into the standby mode.
Step 1: Place the HDVI5 into the Setup Mode 1 2 3 4 Disabling Front Panel or Remote 5 SEL A1 A2 I f you are using the rear panel IR jack , you might want to disable the IR sensors to prevent use of the remote control. Or if you have a household with young cur ious fingers that likes playing with buttons, you also have the capabilit y of disabling the front panel switches and only operating the HDVI5 with a remote. Press and hold the Power Button until the display goes wild. (About 4 seconds.
Step 1: Place the HDVI5 into the Setup Mode 1 2 3 4 Changing Switching Delays 5 SEL A1 A2 The HDVI5 allows adjusting the switching delay times, for Video and Audio, independently. B y default the HDVI5 uses a 200ms video de lay and no audio delay when switching bet ween channels. The HDMI specifications calls for a minimum of 100ms, some monitors may require much larger delay times to switch reliably. Press and hold the Power Button until the display goes wild. (About 4 seconds.
Input Cable Length Tuning Step 1: Place the HDVI5 into the Cable Length Tuning Mode 1 2 3 4 5 SEL A1 A2 Press and hold the desired channel until the HDVI5 enters the cable length tuning mode. The DVI / HDMI Specification is ver y specific on its ouput specifications and little can be done in the way of pre - emphis on the output to dr ive longer cables without falling outside of the specifications.
Step 1: Place the HDVI5 into the Cable Length Tuning Mode 1 2 3 4 5 SEL A1 Bandwidth & Sync Settings A2 Press and hold the desired channel until the HDVI5 enters the cable length tuning mode. The HDVI5 is a fully digital switch, unlike many similar produc ts, the HDVI5 decodes the DVI / HDMI signal and re - encodes it on the output. This allows it to cor rec t for many non- compliant devices attached to its inputs, and still generate fully compliant HDMI /DVI data on the outputs.
Resetting to Factory Defaults Step 1: Reset All Parameters to Factory Defaults 1 2 3 4 5 SEL A1 A2 I f, for whatever reason, you’d like to reset your HDVI5 back to its fac tor y default condition, this is easily done...

The RS-232 Port K.I.S.S.™ (Keep It Simple Serial!™) The RS -232 on the HDVI5 is the same for mat as a PC‑modem, and uses the same t ype cable as a ser ial modem would, which is a standard straight through cable. D o not use a cable that is mar ked as a “Null M odem” cable. Zektor ’s exclusive K .I.S.S.™ (Keep I t Simple S er ial™) protocol was de signed by engineers who have been controlling RS -232 devices for most of their careers and understand the pitfalls of a badly designed protocol.
The Rear Panel IR Jack The rear panel jack labeled "IR / Z-IN" allows the HDVI5 to be controlled by hardwired IR controllers. The signal can be either modulated or unmodulated: +3V to +12V 25KHz to 250KHz 0V MODULATED SIGNAL +3V to +12V 0V UNMODULATED SIGNAL And uses a standard 1/8" (3.5mm) mini-plug: SIGNAL +3V to +12V GND The signal voltage can range from +3V to +12V, with a nominal value of +5V recommended.
