Distribute Tools: Intelix DIGI-HDMI-IR

HDMI 1.3-, 1080p-, and HDCP-compliant. Price: $350

It's always good to have a number of choices for signal distribution, since you want to find a product that fits both budget and a particular job need. The DIGI-HDMI-IR from Intelix is an inexpensive way to extend HDMI and IR signals up to 150ft. over standard Cat-5e or Cat-6. The device features electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection, which is a good way to safeguard source and destination equipment. There are diagnostic LEDs on both the send and receive units too.
