Overview 

 

Why  settle  for  mediocrity?  The  Intelix  DIGI-HD-4X8  combines  a 
professional-grade HDMI  matrix with Intelix's industry-leading extenders.

 

A  true  matrix  switcher,  the  DIGI-HD-4X8  features  four  HDMI  inputs,  eight 
HDMI  outputs 

and

  eight  twisted  pair  extender  outputs—and  both  HDMI  and 

twisted  pair  outputs  are  live  simultaneously.  When  used  in  conjunction  with  a 
compatible Intelix twisted pair receiver, the matrix extends output signals up to 
300  feet  over  a  single  twisted  pair  cable.  Trademarked  HDshāk  processing 
provides  remote  EDID  storing  and  enhanced  bandwidth  limiting,  thereby 
allowing  the  installer  to  optionally  disable  high-bandwidth  HDMI  elements—
such  as  deep  color  and  HD  multi-channel  audio—to  guarantee  performance 
when using low-grade cables.  

The  matrix  supports  1080i  and  1080p  high-definition  video  and  is  HDCP 
compliant. All operations are controlled via a diagnostic front panel interface or 
remotely  via  RS232,  IR,  or  Ethernet.  The  system  also  ships  with  a  wireless 
remote control and includes a 19‖ rack-mount kit.  

In  addition,  the  DIGI-HD-4X8  also  features  four  pass-through  IR  channels 
which distribute remote IR commands from in-room controllers over the twisted 
pair  cable  and  out  of  the  matrix,  thereby  allowing  complete  control  of  remote 
sources from the destination. The IR channels follow the matrix switching.   

 

Design with Intelix and Design with Intelligence.
