The DigitaLinx DL-UHDILC is an HDMI in-line controller that can automate room peripherals and sink devices
when a video signal is introduced to the unit. The DL-UHDILC is 4K compable, supports HDCP version 2.2, has an
analog and digital de-embedded audio output and has 15 built in EDID presets that can be adjusted by the rotary
dial on the front panel.
When the DL-UHDILC auto-detects an input video signal, the DL-UHDILC will automacally turn a display or
projector ON by CEC (default) or by pre-loaded RS232 serial commands and will trigger the rst relay port to
switch a projector screen or window shade down. When a video signal is no longer present aer a specied
amount of me, the DL-UHDILC will turn o the display or projector by CEC (default) or pre-loaded RS232
commands and will trigger the second relay port to switch a projector screen or window shade up.
The DL-UHDILC is ideal for any situaon that requires automated control upon sensing a video input.

on a projector screen or window shade with a shielded 2 conductor cable with a ground, such as the
Liberty 22-1P-EZ cable
• RELAY1 will automacally switch from normally open (NO) to normally closed (NC) when a video signal is introduced to the system.
RELAY2 will automacally switch from normally open (NO) to normally closed (NC) when a video signal is absent from system aer a
specied me that has been determined by the serial upload soware. Default system meout is set to 3 minutes and default relay
mode is set to latching.
7. (Oponal if not using CEC Display Control) Connect the 3 pin phoenix connector of the RS232 breakout cable to

that will connect to the sink device
• NOTE: The RS232 port on the DigitaLinx DL-UHDILC must be congured by connecng a computer to the RS232 port of the DL-
UHDILC and by using the DL-UHDILC Conguraon Soware which is located on the DL-UHDILC product page Online at www.libav.

Overview
Making a PC Connecon
Running Conguraon Soware
The DL-UHDILC conguraon tool can be found online on the DL-UHDILC product page under the SOFTWARE tab
at www.libav.com. Download the zip le and extract all les, then run the tool on a Windows PC that will be used
to congure the DL-UHDILC.
The DL-UHDILC Conguraon Soware allows you to load ON and OFF serial commands into the RS232 control
port of the DL-UHDILC so the commands can be sent to a connected display or projector to automate power.
The soware also gives you the ability to change relay modes from latching (default) to momentary on the two
integrated relay ports.
To connect a PC to the DL-UHDILC RS232 port, a DB9 (RS232) to USB adapter is required. The Liberty 120-DA-0004
RS232 to USB adapter can be used for this.
Once the RS232 to USB adapter has been installed on the PC, connect the DB9 connector on the USB adapter to
the DB9 connector of the DB9 to phoenix adapter that came in the DL-UHDILC box. Then connect the phoenix
connector of the supplied DB9 adapter to the DL-UHDILC RS232 port.
Open the conguraon soware by double clicking the conguraon tool icon. The following screen will appear
