Intelix DIGI-HD-4X2 HDMI Distribution System
High-Definition Matrix Switcher with Cat-5 / Cat-6 Twisted-Pair Outputs
The Intelix DIGI-HD-4X2 HDMI Matrix Distribution System offers features that are not found in competing products.
For example, if you take a look at the back panel, you will find two pairs of twisted-pair output jacks, as you would expect from a twisted-pair distribution system, but what may not be immediately apparent is that the system also has two active HDMI outputs as well. This makes it simple to add one or more local monitors, in addition to the two remote monitors. This 4x2 HDMI matrix system also includes IR pathways for each of the two remote monitors, enabling remote control of the four sources, as well as the distribution system itself.
The DIGI-HD-4X2 is HDMI version 1.3 capable as well, making it a perfect choice for more advanced systems. Advanced chipsets and firmware promise superior HDCP compatibility and trouble-free operation.
Twisted-pair receivers are sold separately below, so you can get exactly the functionality you need. Use any combination of receivers, up to a total of two receivers (add to your cart below):
- DIGI-HD-UHR2-R Enclosed Receiver - HDMI (only), one twisted-pair cable required
- DIGI-HD-UHR2-WP-R Wallplate Receiver - HDMI (only), one twisted-pair cable required
- DIGI-HD-IR3-R Enclosed Receiver - HDMI and bi-directional IR, two twisted-pair cables required
- DIGI-HD-IR3-WP-R Wallplate Receiver - HDMI and bi-directional IR, two twisted-pair cables required
- DIGI-HD-XR Enclosed Receiver / Repeater - use to extend range and/or to add cascaded HDMI outputs.
As with virtually all systems that are based upon twisted-pair cable technology, the Intelix HDMI Twisted-pair Matrix Distribution System will work with virtually any twisted-pair cables, including Cat-5e and Cat-6, but range and bandwidth is directly related to both distance and cable quality, so to get the highest resolutions at the greatest distances, you will want high-quality, low-skew cables. Check the installation manual for more information. If you want the very best pre-terminated cables, please consider our VideoTwist cables.
Like most Intelix products, the DIGI-HD-4X2 comes with a two year limited warranty from the manufacturer.

DIGI-HD-4X2 Feature Focus
HDMI 1.3 compliant. Forget HDMI handshake issues, loss of audio, and video flickers. The DIGI-HD-4X2 features an HDMI 1.3b chipset, providing the most stable and uniform platform for HDMI sources and destinations. Plus, the matrix supports Deep Color and Lossless Digital Audio.
Built-in twisted pair extenders. The DIGI-HD-4X2 features HDMI and twisted pair extender outputs. If the destinations are close, use the HDMI outputs. If the destinations are far away, use the twisted pair outputs and a compatible Intelix receiver. In addition, the HDMI and twisted pair outputs are paralleled, allowing simultaneous use per channel.
Smart negotiation. The DIGI-HD-4X2's on-board CPU automatically negotiates outputs with various resolutions, allowing multiple sized monitors from different manufacturers to be used simultaneously.
Enhanced control. No matter what the application, the DIGI-HD-4X2 has you covered. The matrix features front panel control, Ethernet control, IR control, and RS232 control. In addition, the matrix ships with a wireless remote control.
Shelf-top or rack-mountable. The DIGI-HD-4X2 includes bottom panel mounting feet for shelf-top applications and 19" rack ears for permanent rack installations.
IR pass-through. Tired of third-party IR switchers and patch panels? When used in conjunction with an Intelix DIGI-HD-IR3-R receiver, the DIGI-HD-4X2 matrix distributes remote IR commands over twisted pair cable, through the matrix, and out to local sources. This means the DIGI-HD-4X2 transmits IR signals from your remote destination back to the rack, switches them inside the matrix, and distributes them to your cable boxes, DVD player, or other local source device.
