The Intelix INT-1X4B-1H 1:4 HDBaseT distribuon amplier accepts a single HDMI input and splits
into four HDBaseT outputs. The INT-1X4B-1H is designed with an HDMI loop out which is intended
to cascade to addional INT-1X4B-1H units to distribute to mulple displays via HDBaseT. It supports
video resoluons up to 4K@60Hz / 4:2:0 / 8bit deep color and all HDMI audio formats. It can extend
1080p signals on each output up to 229 feet (70 meters) and 4K signals up to 131 feet (40 meters)
over a single CAT6 Ethernet cable. It supports Power over HDBaseT (PoH), which allows the compable
receivers to be powered from the splier over the Ethernet cables. It supports bidireconal IR and
RS232 pass-through and loop output.
The Intelix INT-HD70-RX and INT-HDX100-RX are compable Intelix receivers with the INT-1X4B-1H
distribuon amplier.

At least 2 inches of free air space is required on both sides of the INT-1X4B-1H for proper side venlaon.
Avoid mounng the INT-1X4B-1H near a power amplier or any other source of signicant heat.
Set the desired EDID mode on the front INT-1X4B-H. There are three modes to choose from
• L.RES - The INT-1X4B-1H reads EDID from all connected displays,
and then the source device will automacally obtain the EDID
which contain the lowest resoluon
• DEFAULT - Reset to the default EDID to distribute 4K@30Hz video
• H.RES - The INT-1X4B-1H reads EDID from all connected displays,
and then the source device will automacally obtain the EDID

When sending RS232 through the HDBaseT outputs to the
displays, each distribuon amplier should have a unique
idener assigned to it when using mulple INT-1x4B-1H units in
a cascaded topology. On the back of the INT-1X4B-1H, use a small,
at blade screwdriver to set the ID PRESET of each INT-1X4B-1H
to the desired value.
Aach the shelf feet to the boom of the INT-1X4B-1H if using on a rack shelf or desktop.
Aach the mounng rails to the sides of the INT-1X4B-1H if mounng to under a table or on a wall.

Connect Source
Connect Displays
Connect IR Control (Oponal)
Connect a source device to the HDMI input using an HDMI cable that is less than or equal to 5 meters in length.
For a source device that is further away, an HDMI extension device will be required to complete the connecon.
Connect the display device or second INT-1X4B-1H to the HDMI output using an HDMI cable that is less than
or equal to 5 meters in length. For a display that further away, it is highly recommended to ulize the HDBaseT
outputs.
Aach the plasc end of the supplied IR receiver of the source device. Insert the TS 3.5 mm plug of the IR
emier to the IR output port (IR OUT) of the distribuon amplier for the source device to control.
For all HDBaseT cabling, the EIA/TIA-568B crimp paern must be used on Category 6 F/UTP or greater cable.
In areas with large amounts of electromagnec (EM) or radio frequency (RF) interference, a shielded variety of
Category 6 or greater cable is recommended with shielded connectors on both ends of the selected cable.
Connect the HDBaseT receiver to the display per the manufacturer’s instrucons. Connect the HDBaseT cable
to the distribuon amplier and the HDBaseT receiver.
HDMI Output
HDBaseT Outputs
Source Device Control via Remote IR
The INT-1X4B-1H has an advanced bidireconal IR control protocol through the HDBaseT output port, which
allows for the control of the source or displays. Intelix recommends using the INT-HD70-RX and the INT-HDX100-
RX for installaons which require IR extension.
Only use Intelix branded IR components, DIGIB-EMT (IR transmier) or DIGIB-EYE (IR receiver) with the
INT-1X4B-1H. Third party 12V DC IR components are not compable with the INT-1X4B-1H. The DIGIB-EYE and
DIGIB-EMT are sold separately.
An IR signal passed from the display locaon through the HDBaseT connecon can provide control of the source
device.
Remote Display Control via Local IR
Insert the TRS 3.5 mm plug of the IR receiver to the IR input port (IR IN) of the distribuon amplier.
An IR signal may be passed to a remote display locaon through the HDBaseT connecon. In order to extend
an IR signal to a remote display, the included IR receiver must be connected to the IR input port (IR IN) of the
distribuon amplier.

Connect RS232 Control (Oponal)
In addion to tradional RS232 control, the INT-1X4B-1H has an advanced RS232 control mechanism which
allows RS232 tunneling through the HDBaseT output port to control remote devices. Intelix recommends using
the INT-HD70-RX and the INT-HDX100-RX for installaons which require RS232 extension.
The RS232 control port requires a standard straight-through serial cable for operaon, which is included with
the product. The default sengs for the RS232 port are:
• 9600 baud
• 8 Data Bits
• 1 Stop Bit
• Parity = none
While the INT-1X4B-1H requires RS232 commands to be sent to it at 9600 baud, mulple baud rates are available
to communicate with the remote devices.
Connect the included straight-through serial cable between the RS232 port on the INT-1X4B-1H and the
controller.
Some controllers may not have a DE9 port available for RS232 communicaon, but may have removable terminal
block connecons. 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.

Daisy-chain Addional Distribuon Ampliers
A maximum total of (3) INT-1X4B-1H distribuon ampliers may be connected to distribute a single source signal
to up to 12 displays via HDBaseT extenders.
Assign Unique Idener for RS232 Control
Daisy-chain Cabling
1. Connect the HDMI output of the rst distribuon amplier to the HDMI input of the next distribuon
amplier with an HDMI cable.
2. If sending IR to the remote display, connect the IR LOOP OUT port of the rst distribuon amplier to the IR
ALL IN / LOOP IN port of the next distribuon amplier with the supplied IR Loop Cable.
3. If sending RS232 to the remote display, connect the RS232 OUT port of the rst distribuon amplier to the
RS232 IN port of the next distribuon amplier with the supplied RS232 Loop Cable.
When sending RS232 through the HDBaseT outputs to the
displays, each distribuon amplier should have a unique
idener assigned to it when using mulple INT-1x4B-1H units in
a cascaded topology. On the back of the INT-1X4B-1H, use a small,
at blade screwdriver to set the ID PRESET of each INT-1X4B-1H
to the desired value.

Apply Power
Plug the power supply into the power input port on the rear of the distribuon amplier. Twist the locking ring
clockwise to prevent accidental disconnecon of power.
The LEDs on the front of the INT-1X4B-1H will assist in verifying the operaon in the system without having to
leave the primary equipment area.
Verify Signal Status

• LED is o when an acve source is not present.
• LED is on when an acve source is present.
HDMI Output LED
• LED is o when a display is not present or powered on.
• LED is ashing when source content is not encrypted.

HDBaseT Link LEDs
• LED is o when a compable HDBaseT receiver is not connected to the HDBaseT port.
• LED is on when a compable HDBaseT receiver is connected to the HDBaseT port.
Note: If the LED is ickering, there is poor communicaon between the INT-1X4B-1H and the HDBaseT receiver,
which may indicate a cabling issue or interference.

Cabling Requirements
Twisted Pair Wiring
Use TIA/EIA-568B wiring for Category 6
connecon between send and receive
units.
Some controllers may not have a DB9 port available for RS232
communicaon, but may have removable terminal block connecons.
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.
To ensure proper performance of the INT-1X4B-H, it is recommended that you use solid
core, shielded Category 6 F/UTP cabling at a minimum. Category 5e F/UTP may perform
well but may not support power over HDBaseT reliably over longer distances.
For opmized HDBaseT performance use the following Liberty Wire and Cable branded
cabling;
Category 6 plenum; 24-4P-P-L6SH
Category 6A plenum; 24-4P-P-L6ASH
Category 6 NON-plenum; 24-4P-L6SH

Tunneling Commands
The INT-1X4B-1H and the Intelix compable receivers (INT-HD70-RX / INT-HDX100-RX) features
RS232 ports to transmit RS232 signals from control systems to displays. The following baud rates are
compable to pass through the distribuon amp and extenders; 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400,
57600, or 115200.
All commands below are in HEX format, to use ASCII formaed strings with the INT-1X4B-1H convert
the ASCII format to HEX.
Use the command structure below to rst select the desired INT-1X4B-1H to which you will end
commands to.
Once a INT-1x4B-1H device has been selected with the above command structure, you can now tunnel
RS232 commands to the HDBaseT ports from a control device connected to the RS232 IN of the INT-
1x4B-1H. When tunneling commands, all HDBaseT / RS232 ports will receive the same command
through ALL HDBaseT extenders unless the port is turned OFF.
