INTRODUCTIO
N
ongratulations on your purchase of the 4x CAT6 Extender for HDMI. Your
omplete satisfaction is very important to us.
efen
efen delivers innovative, progressive computer and electronics add-on solutions
that harness integration, extension, distribution and conversion technologies.
efen’s reliable, plug-and-play products supplement cross-platform computer
stems, professional audio/video environments and HDTV systems of all sizes
with hard-working solutions that are easy to implement and simple to operate.
he Gefen 4x CAT6 Extender for HDMI
The Gefen 4x CAT6 Extender for HDMI sends four independent HDMI 1.3
ignals, with Deep Color support, over a single CAT-6a cable to distances up to
200 feet (60 meters).
The Gefen 4x CAT6 Extender for HDMI supports HDMI 1.3 features such as
1080p Full HD and multichannel audio formats including Dolby TrueHD and DTS-
D Master Audio.
The Gefen 4x CAT6 Extender for HDMI digital transmission method insures
100% signal integrity over this single cable extension solution.
With IR Back Channel and RS-232 support, control of the 4x4 Matrix and Hi-Def
ources, at any of the 4 individual zones, is at your fi ngertips. Each Receiver unit
allows control for Matrix switching and sending IR commands back to the source
ocated up to 200 feet (60 meters) away. The 4x CAT6 Extender for HDMI adds
IP Control to the connected Gefen 4x4 Matrix for convenient access to switching
and routing of the connected sources using a web browser.
How It Works
The
efen 4x CAT6 Extender for HDMI can be connected in two ways
:
1) Matrix Mode: As a Control and Extender system for any Gefen 4x4 Matrix unit.
Extend up to 4 of the Gefen 4x4 Matrix outputs up to 200 feet (60 meters) awa
y
with IR, RS-232, or IP Control at any of the remote locations. Also supports the
IR Back Channel for remote control of the extended Hi-Def sources.
2
) S
tand-alone Mode: As a stand-alone Extender system. Connect up to 4 Hi-
Def sources to any of the available inputs. Simply extend the connected Hi-Def
ources up to 200 feet (60 meters) with IR Back Channel.

The front panel of each Receiver unit for the 4x CAT6 Extender for HDMI
ontains a set of LED indicators which corresponds to an input (source) on the
4x4 Matrix device. A blue LED indicates which input has been routed from the
4x4 Matrix. On the top of each Receiver unit there are a set of 4 push-buttons
which are used to control the switching of the 4x4 Matrix.
Example 1: Routing Input (source) 3 to Output (display) 4.
1.
onnect an HDMI cable from HDMI Out 4 on the 4x4 Matrix to HDMI In 4 on
the 4x CAT6 Extender for HDMI Sender unit.
2.

How to Equalize the 4x CAT6 Extender for HDMI
Matrix Mode / Stand-alone Mode
)
The 4x CAT6 Extender for HDMI Receiver unit has an equalization trimpot to
ompensate for variances that can be found in different CAT-6a cable brands. If there
is no output video or if output video contains artifacts and/or video noise, use the
teps below to adjust the EQ trimpot.
1. Insert a small fl at-head screwdriver into the trimpot on the front panel of the
iver unit.
2. The EQ trimpot can be set to one of eight different positions. Turn the
trimpot clockwise until it clicks into the next position. Continue adjusting the
trimpot until the signal shows best results.
