The DigitaLinx DL-S42-H2 is a simple 4x2 HDMI 2.0 matrix switcher that features four HDMI inputs
and two HDMI outputs with HDCP 2.2 support and capable of handling resoluons up 4K@60Hz
4:4:4 / 8 bit color with stac and dynamic HDR output support. The DL-S42-H2 supports digital opcal
audio de-embedding from both outputs and analog audio de-embedding from output 1. The switcher
also supports Audio Return Channel (ARC) on output 2, the digital opcal audio on output 2 can be
congured manually to either pass the HDMI audio stream from the routed HDMI input or from the
HDMI / ARC audio stream from the connected TV. Each output port supports auto down scaling from
4K to 1080P independently.
The DL-S42-H2 can be controlled via front panel buons, IR remote, API commands using RS232 or
Ethernet. A web server / GUI is built in that features A/V switching control, automac display control
and input EDID management.

Mounng Instrucons
At least 2 inches of free air space is required on both sides of the DL-S42-H2 for proper side venlaon. Avoid
mounng the DL-S42-H2 near a power amplier or any other source of signicant heat.
Remove the four screws on both sides of the DL-S42-H2, then aach the supplied mounng clips to the DL-
S42-H2 for surface or rack mounng.
Connect Sources
Connect Displays
Connect source devices to the HDMI inputs. When using HDMI cables for source inputs, use a High Speed HDMI
cable that is less than or equal to 5 meters in length for 4k60 signals and 8 meters for 1080p signals. For source
devices that are further away, it is highly recommended to install an HDMI extender such as the Digitalinx DL-
HD70, DL-HDE100, DL-HDE100-H2 or the DL-HD2100.
Connect the display device to the HDMI output using a High Speed HDMI cable that is less than or equal to 5

manual on how to engage or turn ON CEC control.
To turn a TV on or o via CEC/HDMI click the ON or OFF buon on the desired output under the MANUAL
secon.
To congure a display to turn automacally on or o via CEC/HDMI whenever a signal is or is not present to
the exisng input route, click the ON buon under OUTPUT 1 or OUTPUT 2 in the AUTOMATIC secon. Then
congure the DELAY TIME to turn OFF the display via CEC whenever there is no signal connected to the exisng
route, you can choose up to 30 minutes for the display to automate OFF if there is no signal present to the route.

A CEC enabled displays ON and OFF status can be controlled by the DL-S42-42 via HDMI. By default the CEC
control opon is always on, simply turn the CEC opon ON in the display menu sengs to use this control
capability.
The TV’s CEC ON status can also be automacally generated to a connected display via HDMI when an acve
video source is connected to the currently routed input. When using auto CEC on / o control of a display, use
the CEC power delay commands to dene the me when the display will be turned OFF when no video signal is
present to the currently routed input. For example if the delay me is set to 3 minutes, the CEC enabled display
will turn o when there is no present video signal for 3 minutes. By default the auto CEC control is on and the
default delay me is set to 2 minutes.
Use the commands below to adjust the auto CEC sengs for CEC control or to turn the connected TV display
on/o using CEC.
