SKYPLAY-MX Installation Guide
Overview
The Intelix SKYPLAY-MX improves upon the existing
wireless HDMI by ensuring source to destination
compatibility with full HDCP-compliance. The SKYPLAYMX wireless distribution is designed specifically for
professional grade audio-visual installations.
The SKYPLAY-MX distributes HDMI high-definition audio
and video up to 100 feet in both point-to-point pointto-many, and many-to-point configurations. Each
transmitter is compatible with up to 4 receivers and
each receiver can be paired to switch up to 4
transmitters.
WHDI and AES 128-bit encrypted processing ensure the
integrity of digital signals and real-time processing (less
than one frame), whether transmitting in open spaces
or through light construction, such as framed drywall
walls.
