Features
High Quality Picture – No loss of resolution or introduced digital artifacts
Our switchers are manufactured to deliver the highest quality picture by
preserving the native resolution from the video sources and eliminating any
digital artifacts (pixel loss or “sparklies”). Due to the nature of digital signals any
non-active connector junctions will detrimentally affect the signal, this device
provides active junctions to re-constitute and amplify the signal (boosting) and
ensures the signal quality to the display.
Signal Amplification
Each switching device is powered by a 5V external power supply to ensure
adequate power is available to perform the signal boost to the correct
specification. This is necessary because the introduction of a switcher indicates
that longer cable lengths are in use. This device corrects the signal loss from
a longer length cable to the original native resolution and signal power. The
maximum length of an interconnect cable recommended for this device is
15 meters. The 15 meter cable must be certified to perform to the required
resolution. All Liberty Wire & Cable HDMI interconnects are tested to ensure
1080p resolution.
Compact and Practical Design
The DigitaLinx™ Switch is designed with all inputs and outputs located on
the rear of the device. This will allow the device to be mounted in a rack and
efficiently route the cabling. The front of the device contains the IR remote
sensor, manual switch and LED indicator lights for RS232 and
channel indicators.
IR Remote Control
Each DigitaLinx™ is shipped with a convenient IR remote with a discrete
channel selection feature. This allows input selection to be changed quickly
and easily.
RS232 Control
The RS232 control input is incorporated into all switches to allow control by
a remote computer. This is helpful in switching applications where the video
inputs require automatic switching. The PC can control the unit to switch at
predetermined times and view video sources in set time intervals. The RS232
LED indicators on the front of the unit allow monitoring of the RS232 function.
The computer or control device may require additional software for various
other functions. (Software not included.)

Device will not
operate
Ensure the 5VDC power adapter is plugged in, the power indicator LED
should be lit
No Picture or
poor picture
1.) If the source is HDCP enabled, ensure the display is also HDCP compli-
ant.
2.) Ensure you are using Liberty certified copper interconnects for dis
-
tances from 6-15 meters. Performance with other manufacturer’s cables
has not been verified.
3.) Computer users – try lower refresh rate settings, Most HDTV’s have
a refresh around 48 Hz and computer video cards are generally much
higher.
4.) Ensure the HDMI connectors are securely plugged in, HDMI does not
have a locking mechanism and can dislodge with handling.
5.) Turn off all equipment and restart per the process on page 1-5.
Remote Control
unit will not
operate
Make sure the included batteries are correctly installed.
Make sure the 5V power is plugged in the back of the unit.
Check to see if the power LED light is on.
Try rebooting the switch by unplugging and re-plugging in the AC plug of
the 5V power adapter.
