Included Remote Control
The DIGI-HD-8X8 includes a multi-function wireless remote
control for switching inputs to the various outputs.
IR Remote Control
The DIGI-HD-8X8 supports remote control through a front panel IR sensor and a rear panel 1/8”
(3.5 mm) input jack.
1. If controlling the DIGI-HD-8X8 through the 1/8” (3.5 mm) input jack on the rear panel,
connect the included IR receiver (eye) directly to the matrix.
2. If controlling the DIGI-HD-8X8 through the IR sensor on the front panel, place an IR
emitter directly over the front panel sensor.
RS232 Remote Control
The DIGI-HD-8X8 supports remote control through a rear panel RS232 control port.
IR Emitter Mounting Tips
Surrounding electrical equipment may be producing high levels of IR
noise. Plasma TVs and compact fluorescent lights are known
polluters. Shield the outside of the emitter and the hardware’s IR
window with electrical tape.
Verify the emitter is directly on the hardware’s IR window and
directly over the IR sensor. Operation may be intermittent if the
emitter is too far away from the sensor.
Clean the DIGI-HD-8X8 IR sensor window with an alcohol-based
cleaner before applying the emitter to guarantee adhesion.
Should the emitter not adhere to the DIGI-HD-8X8 sensor window,
apply a small drop of glue to the adhesion pad on the emitter and re-
apply.
Note: Operation of the rear panel IR input will disable the front panel IR
sensor. Third-party IR devices are not compatible with the rear panel IR
input.
Communicating Directly to the Matrix
When communicating directly to the matrix, the remote
control provides scrolling for each destination. Buttons 1-8
represent destinations; the back arrow button selects the
previous source and the forward arrow button selects the
next source.
Communicating to the Matrix through Extenders
When communicating to the matrix remotely, the remote
control provides independent source selection within the
zone. Buttons S1-S8 represent inputs; the back arrow
button jumps to the corresponding input source. The
forward arrow button is deactivated in this mode.

Ethernet Remote Control
The DIGI-HD-8X8 supports remote control through a rear panel Ethernet control port. The
matrix accepts control messages when integrated to a local area network (LAN).
1. If controlling the DIGI-HD-8X8 through the Ethernet control port on the rear panel, connect
an Ethernet cable directly to the matrix.
2. Connect the opposite end of the Ethernet cable to a LAN port. Within 10 seconds of
connecting the DIGI-HD-8X8 to the LAN, the yellow LED on the matrix’s Ethernet port
will stop blinking and the green LED will blink intermittently.
Note: The DIGI-HD-8X8 will automatically be assigned an IP address
when connected to a DHCP-enabled network. By default, DHCP is is
enabled.
Connection Troubleshooting: If the matrix does not respond with a green
LED, please follow the steps below:
-Verify the LAN has DHCP support and the matrix is in DHCP
mode.
-Verify the LAN port is active.
-Verify the Ethernet cable has the correct wiring (568A or B,
straight-through) and the RJ45 connector is properly terminated.
-Verify the connecting computer is configured to use DHCP.
-Verify the connecting computer successfully connects to the
internet. If it does not, contact the network administrator for
assistance.

IR Twisted Pair Pass-Through
When used with compatible Intelix receivers (DIGI-HD-IR2-R), the DIGI-HD-8X8 supports
eight pass-through IR channels which distribute remote IR commands from in-room controllers,
up to 300 feet over twisted pair cable, and out of the matrix.
1. Determine which devices you wish to control via the IR pass-through outputs.
2. Connect an IR emitter to the desired IR transmit output port.
3. Repeat for up to eight devices.
4. All of the remote receive baluns transmit IR commands from the included remote control,
thereby allowing remote control of the matrix itself.
5. Verify that IR pass-through is enabled in the front panel LCD Utilities screen.
Note: Optionally, IR commands for the matrix may be transmitted from a
remote DIGI-HD-IR2.
Note: By default, IR transmit output one corresponds to HDMI input one, IR
transmit output two corresponds to HDMI input two, IR transmit output three
corresponds to HDMI input three, etc. Therefore, the IR output port will
control the source connected to the HDMI in
p
ut.
Note: For Ethernet programming and command information, see Appendix
A.
Note: To test transmission, connect a controller (software or hardware that
generates a serial message) and send the command F1h 02h 00h 00h 00h to
the matrix’s IP address and to port 8001 on the network. This is an “are
you there” or ping command.

Appendix A: Communication Protocol
Serial Message Protocol Overview—Simple escaped—Version
The Intelix Simple escaped version serial message protocol can be related to the data link layer
(layer 2) of the ISO layered communications model. It is a connectionless datagram messaging
protocol.
Serial Message Fields
All serial messages, whether they are transmitted to or from an Intelix device, use the same
message format. Each message contains several distinct fields. All values are transmitted in
hexadecimal format e.g. 0Ah.
Serial Message Fields; Version 3
Send Message Frame (Simple escaped Protocol)
Protocol Start Length Data
1 byte 1 byte 0<n<255 bytes
F1h ##h
The first field of a message is always the START byte. The second field is a 1-byte length. The
value of the length field is the number of bytes in the third field, the data field. The third field,
the data field, holds the parameters of the message e.g. Message Class, Message ID, Parameters,
etc.
Hexadecimal Transmission
The Intelix Matrix Mixer must receive all messages in hexadecimal number code. If messages
are transmitted in decimal or ASCII codes, they will fail to work. Hexadecimal is a base 16
number code that uses numerals 0-10 and letters A, B, C, D, E, F. In this document hex numbers
are represented in the form “xxh”, where xx are the two hex characters.
ASCII values
When you send commands to an Intelix Device, there is one and only one case when you use
ASCII codes. That case is when you send names. Whenever a name field appears in an example
in this manual, the example is enclosed in quotation marks. Any other use of ASCII values will
cause the command to fail. For example the command Set Matrix Mixer Name uses as an
example name field “Emmanuel Lutheran Church”. The quotes indicate that this data should be
sent as ASCII values. To do this use an ASCII table to obtain the hex value for each character,
and transmit these values. Do NOT transmit the quotation marks unless you want the quotation
marks included in the Name data written to the device. The Quotation marks in the examples are
ASCII text delimiters for the user of this manual.
Byte Escape Sequence
The Simple escaped version message protocol used an “escape byte” sequence to insure
unambiguous recognition of protocol control bytes (F0 – FFh). If a byte in the length, data, or
checksum fields falls within the range F0h through FFh inclusive, an escape sequence is used to
transmit the value. The value is translated by sending two bytes: the ESCAPE byte (F0h) itself,
followed by the difference between the value and the ESCAPE byte. Example; If value =>
ESCAPE, then value = (value - ESCAPE). These two bytes are transmitted instead of the single,
large-value byte. The receiving device converts the two bytes back into the original single byte
value through simple addition. These operations do not affect the values of the length or
checksum fields. i.e., The Escape byte algorithm is applied to the message string last on
transmission and first upon receipt (skipping the start byte).
In the following example, the data field of a message is (02h, 03h, 03h, 06h, FFh). The byte FFh
must be “escaped” into the ESCAPE byte (F0h) followed by the difference between FFh and
ESCAPE (FFh – F0h = 0Fh). The bytes actually transmitted are: (02h, 03h, 03h, 06h, F0h, 0Fh).
Since the second byte of an escape sequence must fall within the range 00h through 0Fh

Intelix DIGI-HD-8X8 Installation Manual
16 www.intelix.com
inclusive, any second byte outside of that range indicates that a transmission error has occurred,
and the Ack byte will not be sent.
Non-escaped example:
Serial_Start Length Class Message
ID Input Output Target Value
F1h 05h 02 03h 03h 02h F6h
Escaped example:
Serial_Start Length Class Message
ID Input Output Target Value
F1h 05h 02 03h 03h 02h F0h 06h
Reserved Bytes
The following table lists the bytes which have special meaning in all Intelix Serial Message
protocols:
FF Reserved
FE Error
FD ACK (Version 4 sequence bit 1)
FC Version 3 ACK (Version 4 sequence bit 0)
FB Start byte (Version 2 protocol)
FA Start byte (Version 3 protocol)
F9 Start byte (Version 3 escaped protocol)
