FLX-8X8A Installation Guide
Overview
The Intelix FLX-8X8A is a modular eight input by eight output video matrix switcher with a built-in eight
input by eight output stereo audio matrix switcher. Each modular input or output card supports up to
four device connections. In addition to front panel control, the FLX-8X8A can be controlled via IR, RS232,
or TCP/IP connections.
The modular input cards include the following connections: HDMI, DVI, HDBaseT (with RS232 and bidirectional wide-band IR), and analog video with digital scaling via HD15 (VGA-UXGA, RGBHV, RGsB,
RsGsBs, component video, S-video and composite video). The modular output cards include the
following connections: HDMI, DVI, and HDBaseT.
The analog stereo audio inputs and outputs on the FLX-8X8A can connect to balanced or unbalanced
audio devices. In addition to audio following video, the audio and video signals can be switched
independently.
Clear button caps provide legible text on the front panel, which can be customized for each installation.
IR, RS232, and TCP/IP provide a wide range of options for third party control systems. Ten
programmable presets provide an efficient means of configuring the video and audio distribution for
common usage patterns.
The FLX-8X8A was designed with flexibility in mind. There are over 80 possible input card to output card
combinations. Since the system is modular, the system integrator can customize their installation per
their customer’s needs and not the limitations of available hardware.

FLX-8X8A Installation Guide
The modular input cards are keyed on the right side to line up with the output cards and ensure they are
installed correctly in the matrix.
Analog Video (FLX-RI4)
The HD15 inputs on the FLX-RI4 scale and convert a wide range of analog video signals to HD video
resolutions, which can be routed to any available output. The individual scaler engine on each input can
accommodate VGA to UXGA, RGBHV, RGsB, RsGsBs, component video, S-video, and composite video
signals. Two FLX-RBOCA (component video breakout cable) and two FLX-RBOCB (composite and S-video
breakout cable) cables are included with each FLX-RI4.
Input Cards
DVI (FLX-DI4)
The FLX-DI4 DVI-D inputs are HDMI and HDCP compliant and support CEC and DDC standards. Each input
is a single link DVI-D connection that can support video resolutions up to 1920x1200.
HDBaseT (FLX-BI4)
The FLX-BI4 takes advantage of HDBaseT inputs to allow sources from remote locations, from up to 70 m
away, to be routed to any of the available outputs utilizing standard Cat 5e cable with a TIA-568B crimp.
The RS232 and wide-band IR connections for each input allow bi-directional control signals at the
equipment rack to interface with source equipment when used with the DIGI-HD70C-S or DIGI-HDE-S
HDBaseT transmitters. The optional DIGIB-EMT (IR emitter) and DIGIB-EYE (IR receiver) are required for
IR control functionality.
8
FLX-8X8A Installation Guide
HDMI (FLX-HI4)
The FLX-HI4 HDMI inputs can be routed to any available outputs. The HDMI inputs can accept video
signals up to 4k x 2k, including 3D and 48-bit Deep Color at 1080p. Additionally, audio signals from
stereo up to 7.1 audio streams will pass through the matrix to supported outputs.
9
FLX-8X8A Installation Guide
The modular output cards are keyed on the left side to line up with the input cards and ensure they are
installed correctly in the matrix.
DVI (FLX-DO4)
The FLX-DO4 DVI-D outputs are HDMI and HDCP compliant and support CEC and DDC standards. Each
output is a single link DVI-D connection that can support video resolutions up to 1920x1200.
HDBaseT (FLX-BO4)
Output Cards
The FLX-BO4 takes advantage of HDBaseT outputs connect any source device to a remote display, up to
70 m away, utilizing standard Cat 5e cable with a TIA-568B crimp. The RS232 and wide-band IR
connections for each output allow bi-directional control signals at the equipment rack to interface with
display devices when used with the DIGI-HD70C-R or DIGI-HDE-R HDBaseT receivers. The optional DIGIBEMT (IR emitter) and DIGIB-EYE (IR receiver) are required for IR control functionality.
HDMI (FLX-HO4)
The FLX-HO4 HDMI outputs can be routed from any input in the matrix. The HDMI outputs can pass
video signals up to 4k x 2k, including 3D and 48-bit Deep Color at 1080p. Additionally, audio signals from
stereo up to 7.1 audio streams will pass to supported output devices.

Installation Instructions
Shelf Mounting Instructions
Attach the supplied rubber feet to the bottom of the FLX-8X8A matrix. Follow the instructions in General
I/O Card Installation to install the I/O cards.
Rack Mounting Instructions
The FLX-8X8A requires two rack units (2 RU) of space. At least 2 inches of free air space is required on
both sides of the FLX-8X8A for proper side ventilation. Avoid mounting the FLX-8X8A near a power
amplifier or any other source of significant heat. It is recommended that you leave an empty rack space
above and below the FLX-8X8A for additional cooling.
General I/O Card Installation
1. Power off the matrix.
2. Remove the metal blank.
3. Slide the I/O card between the guide rails until it is firmly seated.

4. Secure the I/O card by tightening the thumb screws.
5. Connect the appropriate cabling to the I/O card.
6. Power on the matrix.
FLX-BI4 and FLX-BO4 Wiring
A compatible HDBaseT with control transmitter or receiver is required to pass the control signals to the
source or display devices.
To connect the FLX-BI4 to a compatible transmitter or the FLX-BO4 to a compatible receiver, a Cat 5e or
greater cable with a TIA-568B crimp termination on the RJ45 connector must be used. The Cat 5e cable
must not exceed 40 meters for 3D content. The Cat 5e cable must not exceed 70 meters for 2D content.
To use the IR extension capabilities of the FLX-BI4 and FLX-BO4, the DIGIB-EYE (wideband IR receiver)
and DIGIB-EMT (wideband IR emitter) will need to be connected to the appropriate IR ports. These parts
are not included with the HDBaseT I/O cards.
To use the RS232 extension capabilities of the FLX-BI4 and FLX-BO4, 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.

For VGA signals, use a standard VGA male to VGA male cable.
For RGBHV signals, use a standard VGA to RGBHV cable. Below is a common pinout of this type of cable.
For component video, S-video, and composite video, a VGA to breakout cable is recommended. The FLXRI4 comes with two FLX-RBOCA (component video breakout cable) and two FLX-RBOCB (composite and
S-video breakout cable) cables. See FLX-RI4 Specific Commands on page 20 to define the operation of
the inputs.
- Component video, RGsB, and RsGsBs connect to the appropriate red, green, and blue
connections on the FLX-RBOCA cable.

Analog Audio Wiring
The analog audio inputs and outputs support 20 Hz to 20 kHz balanced stereo audio. A signal that goes
in on the left audio channel will exit on the left audio channel. The analog audio is separate from HDMIbased audio that may pass through the video portion of the matrix.
For balanced audio inputs and outputs, the ground wires will need to be connected together.
For unbalanced audio inputs, a jumper wire is required between the Ground input and the Left (-) and
Right (-) inputs to limit noise from the signal. For unbalanced audio outputs, the ground wires going to
the output device will need to be connected together.

EDID Management
The stock EDID for the inputs of the FLX-8X8A is 1280x1024 (computer video input) and 1080p with
stereo audio (consumer video input). In order to change the EDID information for an input, the EDID
copy command will need to be sent to the matrix via RS232 or TCP/IP.
The FLX-RI4 input card ignores the EDID settings since there is a scaler engine on each input to output a
pre-defined video resolution.
Copy EDID
To copy the EDID information from output 3 to input 1, transmit the following command:
EDIDM3B1.

Third Party Control Setup
IP Address Setup via Web Browser
Configuring the TCP/IP port is done via a web browser interface. A crossover cable is required for the
initial setup. The default IP address is printed on a sticker on the side of the FLX-8X8A.
1. Configure the computer to use the same network prefix as the IP address assigned to the matrix.
For example, the IP address of the matrix is 192.168.0.178. Set the computer to use a static IP
address within the same network range, such as 192.168.0.42.
2. Connect the crossover cable to the computer and to the TCP/IP port on the FLX-8X8A.
3. Open up Internet Explorer (Firefox, Chrome, and Safari crop the configuration options).
4. Go to the IP address printed on the sticker, which will take you to the Login screen.
