Intelix DIGI-HDMI-HR
Installation Manual
Introduction
The active Intelix DIGI-HDMI-HR balun transmits an HDMI (high-definition
multimedia interface) audio and video signal up to 150 feet via inexpensive
twisted pair cabling, such as Cat 5e or Cat 6. The DIGI-HDMI-HR supports
standard HDTV resolutions and is HDCP compliant.
Two individual runs of twisted pair cable are required when installing the
DIGI-HDMI-HR balun. The unit is fully compatible with Cat 5e and Cat 6. In
environments susceptible to high electromagnetic interference, two shielded
twisted pair cables should be used.
The Intelix DIGI-HDMI-HR includes one send balun, one receive balun, one
power supply, and two mounting brackets. The system is powered on either
the send or receive end.

Installation
To install the Intelix DIGI-HDMI-HR baluns, perform the following steps:
1. Turn off power and disconnect the audio/video equipment by following the
manufacturer’s instructions.
2. Make certain that outlets and cross connects to which you will connect the DIGI-
HDMI-HR are configured properly and labeled correctly to identify the point-to-
point circuit.
3. Verify the desired twisted pairs are not being used for other LAN or telephony
equipment.
4. Verify that the source and destination equipment work when directly connected with
an HDMI cable. Be sure to test both HDMI cables required for system installation.
5. Connect the DIGI-HDMI-HR send balun to the HDMI output of the video source.
6. Connect the DIGI-HDMI-HR receive balun to the HDMI input of the receiving
device at the remote end. Do not connect the 5V power supply.
7. Complete the connection between the send and receive baluns using two runs of
twisted pair cable. Ensure the cable conforms to EIA 568B crimp standards and
there are no split pairs or taps.
8. Connect the 5V power supply to the send or receive DIGI-HDMI-HR balun.
9. Power-on the video equipment.
10. Verify picture quality.
Caution: Do not attempt to disassemble or alter the balun housing. There are no
user-serviceable parts inside the unit. Doing so will void your warranty.
Caution: Do not connect the balun to a telecommunication outlet wired to
unrelated equipment. Doin

termination
Verify that both ends of the twisted pair
cables use 568B crimp pattern.
No signal
Status LED is off
Incorrect cable
connection
Swap the twisted pair cables in the AV and
HDCP RJ45 inputs on the receive balun.

either the send or receive balun.
Verify the power LEDs on both the send
and receive units are brightly illuminated.

issues
Power off the destination device and power
it back on to force renegotiation.
Unplug and re-plug the HDMI cable from
receive balun to force renegotiation.

bandwidth of cabling
Use shorter runs of twisted pair cabling.
Drop the HDMI signal to the next lower
resolution; i.e., decrease resolution from
1080i to 720p, etc.
Replace the twisted pair cable with a
higher grade twisted pair cable; i.e.,
replace Cat 5e with Cat 6.
