● It is recommended that a power cycle be performed after upgrading rmware on this product.

● This manual has been written and is based on rmware version 3.57.

● This product supports 2 Channels of LPCM audio only.

● This product will accept full bandwidth 4K Ultra HD (3840 x 2160 @ 60 Hz 4:4:4) from the HDMI and DisplayPort™ inputs, however due to bandwidth limitations over the HDBaseT™ link the

output resolution can be scaled to a maximum of 3840 x 2160 @ 30 Hz 4:4:4.

● Automatic switching is not available for the VGA input when set to composite or component video modes.

● The HDBaseT™ link is not active when the unit is in standby mode. This means that the unit cannot be powered on with the IR remote control from the IR input on a remote HDBaseT™ Receiver unit. The IR remote control is fully functional when communicating directly with the main unit.

● CEC is only supported on the local HDMI output.

● This unit is compatible with the EXTUHDA-HBTL-RX HDBaseT™ receiver available from Gefen

(Sold separately)

● It is highly recommended to disable ECHO when controlling a serial (RS-232) device from a remote receiver. This setting can be changed with the command #SET_ECHO (pg. 50) using the RS-232 or IP Control interface.

The split HDMI and HDBaseT™ outputs feature a scaler, congurable to 3840 x 2160, 30 Hz, 4:4:4. They feed a local and a remote display simultaneously, adding exibility in larger presentation environments. The Switcher and its recommended Receiver [the EXT-UHDAHBTL-RX, (sold separately)] use Gefen’s implementation of the HDBaseT™ technology to extend the HDMI output of the Switcher up to 230 feet/70 meters at 1080p Full HD and up to 130 feet/40 meters at 4K, using one CAT-5e or better cable.

The HDMI and DisplayPort™ inputs support resolutions up to 4K DCI (4096 x 2160) 60

Hz 4:4:4, with HDCP 2.2 and 1.4. The HDMI input and output, and the HDBaseT™ output support 2 channels of LPCM digital audio. The VGA input supports resolutions up to

WUXGA (1920 x 1200) and 1080p Full HD.

When used with third-party adaptors, the VGA input also supports Component (YPbPr) and Composite video. The Switcher features an analog L/R audio de-embedder. The optional Receiver also features analog and digital audio (optical and coaxial) outputs. Any or all

audio outputs can be connected to sound-reinforcement systems at the source side or the remote end, adding impact and presence to AV presentations.

The 5x1 Switcher features Advanced EDID Management to ensure that sources are optimized for the displays in use. The Switcher, when used with the optional HDBaseT™ Receiver, provides 2-way RS-232 and IR extension. This facilitates the control of the Switcher, AV sources placed near the Switcher and the remote display or another device

placed near the Receiver unit.

Industry-standard Power-Over-HDBaseT™ (POH) technology provides power from the Switcher to the Receiver over the same cable that extends the AV signal. The Switcher features an integrated IR Sensor on its front panel, as well as an electrical IR input.

If the switcher is mounted in a location where its IR sensor is not within line of sight, a Gefen EXT-RMT-EXTIRN IR Extender Module or a third-party controller with electrical IR output can be connected to the IR input on its back panel.

The 5x1 Switcher features a compact form-factor that can be placed on a shelf or securely mounted on or under a surface. The optional Receiver’s small, ultra-low-prole enclosure

can be securely surface-mounted and conveniently hidden away from sight in the

equipment closet or behind the display. Locking HDMI ports on the Switcher and locking

power jacks on both units ensure long-lasting and reliable connections.

NOTE: Shielded (STP) CAT-5e (or better) cable is recommended. An unshielded (UTP) CAT-5e (or better) cable may be acceptable depending on cable quality, but isn't the

preferred choice. Care should always be given to keep these cables away from power lines and other sources of electromagnetic interference.
