The DigitaLinx DL-SC41U-TX is a 4x1 mul format A/V presentaon auto switcher that supports video

resoluons up to 4K@60Hz 4:4:4 8bit deep color, is HDCP 2.2 compliant and has a built in USB 3.0

switching hub for control and integraon of USB devices such as USB cameras and microphones. The

switcher features four video inputs; (2) HDMI, (1) Display Port and (1) USB-C. The USB-C input supports

video, data (USB host) and power charging up to 40w. There is a 2 port USB client hub built with 2

USB host ports that can be switched independently or can be assigned to follow a video input so

when the video input is triggered or switched, the dened USB host port will also switch. The switcher

features two matrix outputs; HDMI and HDBaseT 2.0. The built in HDBaseT 2.0 transmier output

supports long distance transport of audio, video and High Speed USB 2.0 signals up to 190Mbps up to

70 meters / 232’ using one category cable. The switcher is compable with the DL-SCU-RX HDBaseT

2.0 receiver (sold separately) and the receiver can supply power to the DL-SC41U-TX remotely when

used in this conguraon. NOTE: When using the DL-SCU-RX HDBaseT 2.0 receiver, it will not provide

power charging to the USB-C input unless the DL-SC41U-TX is also powered.

The DL-SC41U-TX gives you the ability to automate the display power ON by using pre-loaded RS232

commands whenever a video signal is introduced to the system using any A/V input. It will also turn

the display power OFF aer a specied amount of me has passed when no video signal or switching

acvity is present. For a complete list of programming commands to automate display power status,

please see the complete owners manual online at www.libav.com or by using the QR code on the print

page of this guide.

The DL-SC41U-TX can be controlled via front panel buons or by API commands using RS232 or

Ethernet. A web server / GUI is built in that features A/V and USB switching control, automac display

control and input EDID management.

The DL-SC41U-TX is ideal for soware based video teleconference rooms that require the consolidaon

and sync of A/V and USB signals from a laptop or room PC.

NOTE: The DL-SC41U-TX switcher can be used as a standalone switcher or paired with an HDBaseT

receiver. The DL-SCU-RX HDBaseT 2.0 receiver (sold separately) is required to complete an extension

circuit. When using the DL-SCU-RX, only USB 2.0 Full Speed devices can be used on the receiver.

Installaon Instrucons

Mount the Matrix

At least 2 inches of free air space is required on both sides of the DL-SC41U-TX for proper side venlaon. Avoid

mounng the DL-SC41U-TX near a power amplier or any other source of signicant heat.

Connect Sources

Connect source devices to the HDMI, Display Port, or USB-C 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.

When connecng a source device to the USB-C input using a USB-C cable, be sure the USB-C cable is capable of

supporng video and is no longer than 2 meters (6.6’) in total length. The DL-SC41U-TX USB-C input supports

ALT-DP mode for video, to ensure a laptop is compable with the DL-SC41U-TX check the laptops capability of

supporng this mode.

Note that not all laptops with USB-C port opons will support video or more specically ALT-DP video

mode�

Video Inputs

Connect Displays

HDMI Outputs

Connect display devices to the HDMI 1 and 2 output using 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.

Connect a solid core CAT6 F/UTP rated category cable to the DL-SC41U-TX HDBaseT output and the

oponal HDBaseT receiver (DL-SCU-RX). Use TIA/EIA-568B wiring for Category 6 connecon between

the DL-SC41U-TX and the receiver. See page 10 for HDBaseT Cabling Requirements.

Connect a display device to the HDMI output of the HDBaseT receiver using a High Speed HDMI cable

Connect Ethernet (Web Browser) Control (Oponal)

The DL-SC41U-TX can be controlled via Ethernet through a web browser interface.

The TCP/IP port requires a standard straight-through Category 5

or greater cable with the TIA/EIA-568B crimp paern for opmal

operaon.

The default sengs for the TCP/IP port are:

Connect the Ethernet cable between to the switcher and a

router with a straight-through cable or between the matrix and

a computer with a crossover cable.

Router Connecon

1. Congure the router to use the same IP range as the matrix, such as 192.168.0.1.

2. Connect the computer to the router.

3. Connect the DL-SC41U-TX to the router

Web Browser Control

The DL-SC41U-TX includes a web portal to allow control of the matrix via a standard web browser. The IP address

is the same address that is used for TCP/IP control.

Connect the included power supply to the DL-SC41U-TX power port, connect the IEC power cord connected to

power supply to a power source.

Applying Power

Twisted Pair Wiring

Use TIA/EIA-568B wiring for Category 6

connecon between send and receive

units.

HDBaseT Cabling

To ensure proper performance of the DL-SC41U-TX, it is recommended that you use solid

core, shielded Category 6 F/UTP cabling at a minimum. Category 5e F/UTP may perform

well but may not support power over HDBaseT reliably over longer distances.

For opmized HDBaseT performance use the following Liberty Wire and Cable branded

cabling;

Category 6 plenum; 24-4P-P-L6SH

Category 6A plenum; 24-4P-P-L6ASH

Category 6 NON-plenum; 24-4P-L6SH

Category 6A NON -plenum; 24-4P-L6ASH

When using shielded category cabling ALWAYS...

....use shielded connectors

....properly ground the category cable
