Intelix DIGI-DVIT4R-F DVI Balun System
1x4 Cat-6 Twisted-Pair Distribution System
Intelix DIGI-DVIT4R-F DVI Balun System - 1x4 Cat-6 Twisted-Pair Distribution System
The Intelix DIGI-DVIT4R-F DVI Balun System transmits high-resolution DVI signals up to 220 feet over a single twisted-pair cable, such as Cat 6.
As we have come to expect from Intelix, this DVI distribution system offers more than one might immediately expect. For example, the transmitter balun includes a DVI pass-though output, which is perfect for applications that would benefit from a local monitor.
The DIGI-DVIT4R-F system includes one transmitter balun and one receive balun, and the system can be expanded to a total of
four remotes by adding additional
DIGI-DVI-R-F receivers (add to cart below). Each receiver includes two DVI outputs, making it simple to drive either one or two monitors at each remote location.
It is important to know that while Intelix specifies that the DIGI-DVIT4R-F should be connected via shielded
Cat 6 cable, neither shielding nor category 6 cabling is required for most installations. The engineers at Intelix are very
conservative, so it is not entirely surprising that they would recommend such cable. Consider that, by comparison,
manufacturers of lesser products are less conservative, so even though they may not specify shielded Cat 6, their product may
actually need it.
So what kind of cable do you need? The reality of the situation is that, in the lab, unshielded cable performs just as well as shielded cable. Shielding is recommend because the engineers have seen some cases where EM noise problems were resolved by using shielded cable. If you are starting from scratch, it may make sense to start with Cat 6 or even shielded Cat 6 cable, but if you already have existing cable, it is entirely likely that your existing cabling will work just fine. The same comments can be applied to Cat 5 cables. There is a surprisingly wide range of performance difference among twisted-pair cables. For example, a very good Cat 5 cable may actually out-perform a less stellar Cat 6-rated cable. Just keep in mind that Intelix's specs are based upon a given cable, so if you use a cable that is inferior to the cable used in the test setup, you should expect less range/performance. On the other hand, if you use cable that is superior to that used in the test setup, you can expect better range/performance.

Like most Intelix products, the DIGI-DVIT4R-F comes with a two year limited warranty from the manufacturer.
Intelix's Description
DIGI-DVIT4R-F Balun
The Intelix DIGI-DVIT4R-F system transmits high-definition, 1920x1080 resolution DVI-D signals up to 220 feet using a single shielded Cat 6 cable. Built-in automatic EDID (extended display identification data) and DDC (display data channel) detection ensures the source and destination devices properly sync without the added expense of third party detection hardware.
The send balun features a local monitor output for added versatility. Additional receive baluns (DIGI-DVIR- F) must be purchased separately. The system requires power at both the send and receive baluns.
The Intelix DigiCat Series of baluns is the ideal solution for sending digital, high-performance signals over structured cabling.
When signal quality matters, choose Intelix.

Here is another view of the DIGI-DVI-R-F receive balun. One receiver is included with the system and you may add up to three additional receivers to your system. (add to cart below)
In this connection example, a computer sends DVI video to four remote plasmas via an Intelix DIGI-DVIT4R-F system and shielded
Cat 6 cable. The DIGI-DVIT4R-F include one send balun (DIGI-DVI-T4-F), one receive balun (DIGI-DVI-R-F), and two power supplies.
The additional
DIGI-DVI-R-F receivers were purchased separately.
