Operating KDS-8
Configure and control your KDS-8 using any of the following methods:
• Kramer Network Enterprise Management Platform (version 2.2 or higher – go to
www.kramerav.com/product/KDS-8 for more information).
• Via the front panel buttons (see Changing Encoder/Decoder Mode – Front Panel
on page 9).
• Via the configuration OSD (see Configuring Settings – OSD on page 10).
Changing Encoder/Decoder Mode – Front Panel
By default, KDS-8 is defined to operate in encoder mode. You can easily change the
encoder/decoder mode using the front panel buttons.
To change the encoder/decoder mode from the configuration OSD, see Changing
Encoder/Decoder Mode – OSD on page 13.
To change the mode from encoder to decoder or vice versa:
• Press and hold the + (plus) and – (minus) buttons simultaneously for about 10
seconds.
The device reboots and the encoder / decoder mode changes.
Press the INFO/ENTER button to display the encoder/decoder mode status (TX =
encoder, RX = decoder) on the display connected to the HDMI OUT Connector .
