Overview
Tired of sifting through spec sheets and wiring multiple components from
numerous manufacturers? Fed up with long, bulky cable runs? Simplify with
Intelix DIGI-VGASD twisted pair matrices.
The DIGI-VGASD-8X8e provides eight analog VGA video and stereo audio
inputs which may be distributed to eight twisted pair outputs in any
combination. In addition, a separate internal control matrix provides bi-
directional RS232 and IR switching and distributes the control signals through
the twisted pair ports, allowing the remote control of the sources and
destinations connected to the matrix. All of the video, audio and control signals
are transmitted up to 350 feet on a single twisted pair cable. In essence, the
DIGI-VGASD-8X8e allows you to switch audio, video, and control and
transmit it all over a single twisted pair cable to a remote Intelix DIGI-
VGASD Series receiver.
The matrix supports resolutions up to 1920 x 1080, features true hi-fidelity
audio, and is compatible with third-party control systems.

Installation
To install the Intelix DIGI-VGASD-8X8e matrix switcher, please perform the
following steps.
1. If mounting in a 19” audio/video rack, verify the rack has one rack space
unit (1RU) of open space.
2. Power-off the source and destination audio and video devices.
3. Connect the input sources to the DIGI-VGASD-8X8e using high-quality
audio and video cables.
Ventilation when Rack Mounting
At least 2 inches of free air space is required on both sides of
the DIGI-VGASD-8X8e for proper side ventilation.
Ensure there are no closeable doors on the rack that might seal
the DIGI-VGASD-8X8e from a steady supply of cool air.
Avoid mounting the DIGI-VGASD-8X8e near a power
amplifier or any other source of significant heat.
It is recommended that you leave an empty rack space above
and below the DIGI-VGASD-8X8e for additional cooling.
Note: All connecting audio-visual equipment must be powered off.
Note: Intelix recommends labeling all analog audio and video
inputs to aid in software and control system programming.

4. Connect the output destinations to the DIGI-VGASD-8X8e using twisted
pair cables (compatible Intelix twisted pair receivers sold separately). Each
output channel requires one run of twisted pair cable with TIA 568B
terminations.

5. Connect the included power cord to the DIGI-VGASD-8X8e.
6. Connect an RS232 cable to the DIGI-VGASD-8X8e. Verify the opposite
end of the cable is connected to a controller (i.e., PC running Intelix Smart
Control software, touch panel, etc.).
7. Power-on the DIGI-VGASD-8X8e. Verify that both front panel LEDs are
illuminated. It is normal for the status light to blink.
8. Power-on the source and destination audio and video devices.
Note: If controlling the DIGI-VGASD-8X8e matrix with Intelix
Smart Control software, verify the software is properly loaded on a
connected PC.
