The DigitaLinx Series is a family of extension, routing, and switching products designed to allow digital
signals to extend beyond their limitations. Liberty’s latest addition, DL-HD1X4-H, is a complete kit that
comes with one 4K HDMI to HDBaseT distribution amplier plus four HDBaseT to HDMI receivers. This
extender kit allows for one HDMI signal to be sent to four dierent locations up to 150 meters away
while simultaneously passing the signal to a local display when using the loop output.
In addition to extending HDMI signals, enhanced features include:
Control: Pass bi-directional IR and RS232 control signals for communication to devices such as remote
displays, media players, or the distribution amplier.
Power: All receivers are powered using category cable, providing a clean and easy installation. The
provided power supply for the distribution amplier distributes the necessary power to all connected
receivers.
Audio: Extract the HDMI audio from the source content to digital or analog at the distribution amplier
in addition to analog found on any receiver to connect to any audio amplier or AV receiver.
Distance: Extend digital HDMI signals up to 120 meters away at resolutions reaching 4K2K@60Hz or
150 meters at 1080P@60Hz all from a signal CAT6/6a/7 cable.
Local Loop Output: Along with 4 HDBaseT outputs, the distribution amplier is equipped with 1 local
loop output for connecting to devices such as a local monitor for video preview or cascading the signal
to another Liberty DL-HD1X4-H distribution amplier increasing the outputs to 8 +1.
Advanced EDID Management: Take control of the EDID information that is being fed to the source device
so the system congures itself in a manner that meets your display requirements without needing to
best-match resolutions.
