Overview
The Intelix HDMI-2X8 is not a standard 2 by 8 distribution amplifier. Instead, it
features two independent inputs—an HDMI input, as well as a DVI input with
optional digital SPDIF or optical audio. When the DVI/digital audio source is
selected, the HDMI-2X8 automatically converts the signal to the HDMI format
and routes it to eight HDMI outputs. Front panel source selection provides
switching between the HDMI and DVI/digital audio inputs. Multiple HDMI-
2X8s may be linked for more than eight outputs. The HDMI-2X2 supports
resolutions up to 1080p and is HDCP compliant.
