Introduction

Thank you for purchasing this product. For optimum performance and safety, please read these instructions carefully before connecting, operating or adjusting this product. Please keep this manual for future reference.

⚠️ Surge protection device recommended. This product contains sensitive electrical components that may be damaged by electrical spikes, surges, electric shock, lightning strikes, etc. Use of surge protection systems is highly recommended in order to protect and extend the life of your equipment.

Our HD11CTRL-V2 HDMI in-line controller is an automated room control solution including display on / off control via CEC, RS-232, IR or IP when a HDMI signal is sensed on the input. External relay inputs allow third party triggers for integration with devices such as sensors or switches.

The HD11CTRL-V2 will also help with HDMI compatibility, HDCP 2.2, clock stretching, EDID and handshaking issues that can cause problems when distributing HDMI signals, especially 4K. The HD11CTRL-V2 supports full HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 2.2, with video resolutions up to and including 4K @ 60Hz 4:4:4, and features a web-GUI for control and configuration.

Features:

Panel Descriptions

Front Panel

The front panel features an IR learning sensor, status LEDs for power and HDMI output, and a 'Learn' button. It also includes EDID DIP switches and a USB upgrade port.

Rear Panel

The rear panel includes HDMI input and output, IR output, a 12V Signal Sense input, two Relay connectors, a TCP/IP (RJ45) port, a 12V power port, and an RS-232 serial port.

EDID Management

EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) is a data structure used between a display and a source. This data helps the source determine supported audio and video resolutions to output the best possible signal. Settings can be changed via the front panel DIP switches or the device's web GUI.

The Software EDID preset allows EDID selection via the device's web GUI, or for a custom EDID to be loaded into the HD11CTRL-V2. This is used for sources that may output non-standard resolutions or video formats.

Automatic System On / Off Control

The HD11CTRL-V2 is designed to automate basic control of AV equipment within a room without the need for a 3rd party control system. It can control devices via CEC, RS-232, IR, relay, and signal sense. Its key function is to turn the system on when a HDMI signal is sensed, and turn it off when that signal is lost.

System On:

When the controller detects a video signal (via TMDS or 5V) or the signal sense input is triggered, the system will start and automatically perform the following actions:

Note: When setting video signal trigger to TMDS or 5V, please ensure the System On and System Off settings match or the feature may not operate correctly.

System Off:

When the controller detects the video signal is lost, and does not receive a signal sense trigger within the delay time (between 5~180mins, default 10mins), the system will turn off and automatically perform the following actions:

CEC Control:

By default, CEC Power On and Off is enabled (subject to display device compatibility). The CEC functionality can be enabled or disabled via RS-232. It is also possible to send other CEC commands such as input selection, volume up or down. Note CEC is subject to the support of the display connected to the HD11CTRL-V2.

Relay Control:

The HD11CTRL-V2 features two relays. Relay 1 is triggered during System On, and Relay 2 is triggered during System Off.

The time for which the relay stays open can be adjusted via RS-232. To use the relay control as a 5V/12V trigger, set the delay to time "00", which will result in 'NO' remaining as an open circuit whilst a video signal is present. An example wiring diagram is as follows:

Wiring Diagram Description: Illustrates connections for a motorized projector screen. It shows a 12V trigger input, a power supply (5V/12V), and connections to the HD11CTRL-V2's Relay 1 (NO, C, NC) and Relay 2 (NO, C, NC) ports.

IR Learning

The HD11CTRL-V2 can send out up to 5 IR commands automatically when a signal is sensed or lost. These commands are learnt into the product via the following procedure:

  1. Press the "Learn" button to scroll through the 5 x IR commands. The LEDs indicate the selected position:
    • Display On: ON LED Illuminated
    • Input Select: ON LED Flashing
    • Display Off: OFF LED Illuminated
    • User Command 1: OFF LED Flashing
    • User Command 2: Both LEDs Flashing
  2. Point the IR remote control at the IR In sensor and press the respective button on the IR remote control.
  3. Both LEDs will remain illuminated to indicate that an IR command has been learnt.
  4. The IR Learning mode will end after 10 seconds of inactivity, and both LEDs will turn off.

Signal Sensing

The HD11CTRL-V2 has the ability to be triggered via signal sense from a device feeding it a voltage, such as a PIR sensor. The sensor port features +12V DC and ground to power a PIR sensor, as well as a signal input that triggers when the circuit is closed or grounded. The maximum +12V DC output is 50mA.

Signal Sensing Port Description: Features pins for TX, RX, 12V SIG, NO, C, NC, suitable for connecting external sensors or switches.

Smart Scale

The HD11CTRL-V2 features Smart Scale technology, allowing a 4K signal to be down-scaled to 1080p for compatibility with 1080p displays. Downscaling is automatic based on the EDID of the connected display. This feature can be enabled (default) or disabled via RS-232.
