Intelix DIGI-HDMI-HR-R

Installation Manual

Introduction

Designed for use with Intelix HDMI twisted pair matrices, the active Intelix

DIGI-HDMI-HR-R balun transmits an HDMI (high-definition multimedia interface) audio/video signal up to 150 feet over inexpensive twisted pair cabling, such as Cat 5e or Cat 6. The DIGI-HDMI-HR-R supports standard

HDTV resolutions and is HDCP compliant.

Two individual runs of twisted pair cable are required when installing the

DIGI-HDMI-HR-R 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-R includes one receive balun, one power supply, and one mounting bracket.

Installation

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.

To install the Intelix DIGI-HDMI-HR-R baluns, perform the following steps:

1. Turn off power and disconnect the audio/video equipment by following the manufacturer’s instructions.

Caution: To minimize the possibility of equipment damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD), all source and destination equipment must be powered off during installation. This includes signal extenders, splitters, and switches.

2. Make certain that outlets and cross connects to which you will connect the DIGI-

HDMI-HR-R are configured properly and labeled correctly to identify the point-topoint circuit.

Caution: Do not connect the balun to a telecommunication outlet wired to unrelated equipment. Doing so may damage the unit or any connected equipment.

Ensure all connected twisted pair cabling is straight-through (point-to-point).

3. Verify the desired twisted pairs are not being used for other LAN or telephony equipment.

Note: For your convenience, it is recommended that you uniquely mark the ends of the twisted pair cable before pulling them through a wall or conduit.

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-R receive balun to the HDMI input of the receiving device at the remote end. Do not connect the 5V power supply.

6. Connect the opposite ends of the twisted pair cables to a compatible Intelix HDMI twisted pair matrix. Ensure the cable conforms to EIA 568B crimp standards and there are no split pairs or taps.

7. Connect the 5V power supply to the DIGI-HDMI-HR-R receive balun.

8. Power-on the video equipment.

9. Verify picture quality.

Probable Causes

Incorrect cable termination

Incorrect cable connection

Insufficient power

HDMI synchronization issues

Video signal exceeds bandwidth of cabling

Unsupported video resolution

Possible Solutions

Verify that both ends of the twisted pair cables use 568B crimp pattern.

Swap the twisted pair cables in the AV and

HDCP RJ45 inputs on the receive balun.

Verify the power supply is connected to either the send or receive balun.

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

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.

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.

Video without audio

Unsupported audio codec

If the destination device is incapable of displaying the video signal, alter the source signal; i.e., decrease resolution from 1080i to 720p, etc.

Change source device to output PCM other than Bitstream audio

Enable PCM down sampling if supported by your source device

The Intelix DIGI-HDMI-HR-R conforms to HDMI and HDCP specifications.

Intelix does not guarantee operation with devices that do not conform to these specifications. The Intelix DIGI-HDMI-

HR-R passes HDCP signals and does not

manipulate them in any way.

Distances and picture quality may be affected by cable grade, cable quality, source and destination equipment, RF and electrical interference, and cable patches.

Intelix specifications are based on straightthrough cabling with standard-grade Cat

5e.
