Intelix DIGI-HDMI-HR

Installation Manual

Introduction

The active Intelix DIGI-HDMI-HR balun transmits an HDMI (high-definition
multimedia interface) audio and video signal up to 150 feet via inexpensive
twisted pair cabling, such as Cat 5e or Cat 6. The DIGI-HDMI-HR supports
standard HDTV resolutions and is HDCP compliant.

Two individual runs of twisted pair cable are required when installing the
DIGI-HDMI-HR balun. The unit is fully compatible with Cat 5e and Cat 6. In
environments susceptible to high electromagnetic interference, two shielded
twisted pair cables should be used.

The Intelix DIGI-HDMI-HR includes one send balun, one receive balun, one
power supply, and two mounting brackets. The system is powered on either
the send or receive end.
