INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the Composite Extender by Gefen, Inc.
The Composite Extender allows users to extend Composite video signals beyond the A/V
rack. The Composite Extender Series can be used to extend a Composite signal to cover
the distances up to 1000 feet. Industry standard Category 5e (CAT-5e) cable is used for
the extension.
HOW IT WORKS
The Composite Extender sender resides next to the TV source. With the supplied
Composite cable, the Composite Extender sender is connected to the source. The
Composite Extender receiver is then placed next to the monitor or projector. Industry
standard Category 5e (CAT-5e) cable is used to link the Composite Extender send er and
Composite Extender re ceiv er together.
