The Intelix INT-88HDX is an eight input by eight output HDBaseT/HDMI matrix switcher with HDCP 2.2 and 4K/30
video support. The matrix features advanced EDID and HDCP handling, including the ability to turn input HDCP
compliance ON and OFF to ensure maximum funconality with a wide range of sources.
The INT-88HDX features HDBaseT twisted pair extension for each output, and simultaneous HDMI on the rst
three outputs, allowing the same signal to be routed to the HDMI connector and a remote desnaon with an
HDBaseT receiver. The HDBaseT ports support up to 4K/30 HDMI video with audio, bidireconal wide-band IR,
matrix control via IR, RS232 tunneling, and HDCP (1.4 and 2.2) up to 100 meters (328 feet). Each HDBaseT output
port supplies power to the aached extender, eliminang the need for a power supply at the display end. Each
output features analog stereo audio de-embedding and coaxial mulchannel audio de-embedding for connecon
to ampliers or DSPs.
The INT-88HDX can be controlled via front panel buons, front panel IR, external IR, remote IR through HDBaseT
extenders, RS232, and Ethernet. 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 connecon 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 either be tunneled directly to the displays or
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.

Hybrid EDID Copy
Hybrid EDID copy is the preferred command to use when the audio is going to be routed to an analog audio output
of the matrix. To copy the video EDID informaon from output 2 and specify two channel PCM audio output to
input 4, transmit the following command:
EDIDH2B4.
Input HDCP Sengs
HDCP is enabled on all inputs of the INT-88HDX. If the video output of the matrix is going to a video recorder, video
converencing system, or other non-HDCP compliant device, the HDCP input compliance may need to be disabled
to ensure the source does not encrypt the non-encrypted content. Showing encrypted content on a non-compliant
display will output a black video image. In order to change the HDCP compliance for an input, the HDCP on/o
commands will need to be sent to the matrix via RS232 or TCP/IP or managed through the web browser setup
interface (see page 28).
/%I/x:0.

Immediate RS232 Roung to HDBaseT
The INT-88HDX has the logic to pass RS232 commands to remote devices through the TCP/IP or DE9 RS232 ports.
The desnaon command string is embedded in a command which includes the desnaon HDBaseT port and
baud rate. This is a bidireconal communicaon method. The maximum string length is 48 bytes (characters).
The format of the RS232 roung string is: /+<Y>/<B>:<$>. (The period at the end of the string is required.)
<Y> is the HDBaseT port code, <B> is the baud rate, and <$> is the RS232 string.
