To Install the DVI DL-DA Splitter
1Before installing the DVI DL-DA Splitter, connect the supplied power adapter to the unit
and plug it into a DC power source. Black Diamond Video recommends the use of a
surge protector.
2Connect your transformer to the Splitter.
3Connect a DVI video source to the DVI input connector.
4Connect up to 2 DVI display devices to the Splitter’s DVI output connectors using Black
Diamond Video-tested DVI cable.
Alternatively, connect the other end of the DVI cable directly to the Black Diamond Video digi-
tal video processing equipment in your installation, such as the Phantom 800 or CXPS.

ESTABLISHING RS-232 CONTROL
Setup of the DVI DL-DA Splitter should be done using RS-232 control. The following
procedure details how to establish RS-232 serial control of the DVI DL-DA Splitter.
1Connect the supplied RJ11 to DB9 cable to the DVI DL-DA Splitter.
2Connect the control computer to the RS-232 DB9 connector on the supplied cable.
3Open up a serial port terminal on the control computer.
On Microsoft Windows, you can use HyperTerminal for serial communications.
4Configure the port settings as follows:
• Baud: 9600
• Data bits: 8
• Parity: None
• Stop bits: 1
• Flow control: None
The RS-232 connection to the DVI DL-DA Splitter is established and the Splitter can be con-
trolled using the RS-232 command set found in Appendix A, “RS-232 Protocol.”
NOTE: To avoid recreating the connection parameters each time you reestablish
RS-232 connection to the CXPS, you can save the connection for
subsequent control sessions.
