FLX-44 Installaon Guide

Product Overview

The Intelix FLX-44 is a four input by four output HDBaseT/HDMI matrix switcher. The Intelix FLX-44 matrix improves the ease of installaon similar to previous Intelix HDMI matrix switchers.

The FLX-44 features HDBaseT twisted pair extension for each output, and simultaneous HDMI on the rst two outputs, allowing the same signal to be routed to the HDMI connector and a remote desnaon with an HDBaseT receiver. The HDBaseT ports support 1080p HDMI video with audio, bidireconal wide-band IR, matrix control via IR, RS232 tunneling, and HDCP up to 60 meters (196 feet). Each HDBaseT output port supplies power to the aached extender, eliminang the need for a power supply at the display end. Each output features stereo audio de-embedding for connecon to ampliers or DSPs.

The FLX-44 can be controlled via front panel buons, front panel IR, external IR, remote IR through HDBaseT extenders, RS232, and Ethernet. Clear buon caps provide legible text on the front panel, which can be customized for each installaon. The matrix includes a simple IR remote control to allow IR switching. This IR remote control can be learned into universal remotes and IR based control systems. An IR All In port is provided, which allow one IR connecon to control all four remote displays.

The matrix also features a full command set for RS232 and Ethernet control with third party control systems, plus

control via a web browser. RS232 commands to remote displays can also be embedded in the control stream through the matrix from both the RS232 and Ethernet control ports, which will reduce the number of serial ports required for the control system.

The FLX-44 is HDMI compable and supports up to 2K resoluons, Deep Color, and full 3D capabilies. The matrix features advanced EDID and HDCP handling, including the ability to turn HDCP compliance ON and OFF to ensure maximum funconality with a wide range of sources.

Connect the display devices to HDMI outputs using HDMI cables that are less than or equal to 5 meters in length. For display devices that are further away, it is highly recommended to ulize the HDBaseT outputs.

For all HDBaseT cabling, the EIA/TIA-568B crimp paern must be used on Category 6 or greater cable. In areas with large amounts of electromagnec (EM) or radio frequency (RF) interference, a shielded variety of Category 5e or greater cable is recommended with shielded connectors on both ends of the selected cable.

The HDBaseT outputs provide 15 was of Power over Ethernet, which eliminates the need for a power supply with a compable HDBaseT receiver. Intelix recommends using the DIGI-HD60C-R for installaons which require remote power.

Connect the HDBaseT receiver to the display per the manufacturer’s instrucons. Connect the HDBaseT cable to the matrix and the HDBaseT receiver.

Connect IR Control

The FLX-44 has an advanced bidireconal IR control protocol through the HDBaseT output port, which allows for the control of the sources, displays, and matrix. Intelix recommends using the DIGI-HD60C-R for installaons which require IR extension.

Only use DIGIB-EMT (IR transmier) and DIGIB-EYE (IR receiver), which are sold separately, with the FLX-44. Third party 12V DC IR components are not compable with the FLX-44.

Source Device and Matrix Control via Remote IR

An IR signal passed from the display locaon through the HDBaseT connecon can provide control of the source device. The IR signal from the remote display locaon can also control the switching of the matrix.

Aach the plasc end of the DIGIB-EMT to the IR receiver of the source device. Insert the TS 3.5 mm plug of the DIGIB-EMT to the IR output port (IR OUT) of the matrix for the source device to control.

12

FLX-44 Installaon Guide

Remote Display Control via IR

An IR signal may be passed to a remote display locaon through the HDBaseT connecon. There are two possible IR input connecons for controlling a remote display: IR In for an individual output zone and IR All In for global IR signal distribuon.

Zone Control via IR

Insert the TRS 3.5 mm plug of the DIGIB-EYE to the IR input port (IR IN) of the matrix for the output zone of the display device to control.

Global Control via IR

Insert the TRS 3.5 mm plug of the DIGIB-EYE to the global IR input port (IR ALL IN) of the matrix to control all remote display devices.

Concealed Matrix Control via IR

When the FLX-44 is installed in an equipment rack or other concealed locaon, access to the front panel for normal IR control may be dicult. The IR EYE input allows the IR remote to control the matrix via a connected DIGIB-EYE.

Insert the TRS 3.5 mm plug of the DIGIB-EYE to the matrix IR input port (IR EYE) of the matrix.

13

FLX-44 Installaon Guide

Connect RS232 Control

In addion to tradional RS232 control, the FLX-44 has an advanced RS232 control mechanism which allows RS232 tunneling and roung through the HDBaseT output port to control remote devices. Intelix recommends using the DIGI-HD60C-R for installaons which require RS232 extension.

See page 27 for all available control commands for the FLX-44.

Matrix Control via RS232

The RS232 control port requires a standard straight-through serial cable for operaon. The default sengs for the

RS232 port are:

• 9600 baud

• 8 Data Bits

• 1 Stop Bit

• Parity = none

Connect a standard straight-through serial cable with DE9 connector between the RS232 port on the FLX-44 and the controller.

Remote RS232 Control via Tunneling

Discrete remote control of remote display devices is possible by connecng an RS232 output of a control system to the 3-pole terminal block on the output of the matrix. A compable HDBaseT with control receiver is required to pass the control signals to the display devices.

To use the RS232 extension capabilies of the FLX-44, connect the TX, ground, and RX control signal wires to the removable 3-pole terminal block. Consult the manual of the control device(s) to determine which pins the TX/RX signals are carried on. Be sure to always connect TX to RX and RX to TX.

Remote RS232 Control via Roung

The FLX-44 has the logic to pass RS232 commands to remote devices through the TCP/IP or DE9 RS232 ports. The desnaon command string is embedded in a command which includes the desnaon HDBaseT output port and baud rate. This is a bidireconal communicaon method. The maximum string length is 48 bytes (characters). In addion to immediate transmission, the FLX-44 can store commands to be broadcast when the matrix is powered on or o through the standby commands (PWON. and PWOFF.).

The format of the RS232 roung string is: /+<Y>/<B>:<$>. (The period at the end of the string is required.) <Y> is the output code, <B> is the baud rate, and <$> is the RS232 string. Output codes and baud rate codes are in the tables below.
