INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of the Component Extender. Your complete
satisfaction is very important to us.
Gefen
Gefen delivers innovative, progressive computer and electronics add-on solutions
that harness integration, extension, distribution and conversion technologies.
Gefen’s reliable, plug-and-play products supplement cross-platform computer
systems, professional audio/video environments and HDTV systems of all sizes
with hard-working solutions that are easy to implement and simple to operate.
The Gefen Component Extender
The Component Extender allows users to extend Component video signals
beyond the A/V rack. The Component Extender Series can be used to extend
a Component signal to cover the distances up to 330 feet. Industry standard
Category 5e (CAT-5e) cable is used for the extension.
How It Works
The Component Extender sender unit connects to any component video source
using the supplied Component cable. The receiver unit connects to your HDTV
component video display up to 330 feet (100 meters) away. One CAT-5e cable is
used to connect the sender to receiver for perfect video extension up to 1080p.

CONFIGURING THE COMPONENT EXTENDER
The fi rst step in adjusting the video quality is to display text and a graphic on your monitor
(i.e. desktop icons). Then set your source to the resolution that you will be using most
frequently. The dip switches are used to set the focus and sharpness of the picture to
the best possible setting. Set the dip switches to the settings that are recommended
for the different lengths of CAT5 cable (see chart below). Verify that the picture quality
is to your satisfaction. If the recommended setting does not produce a great quality
picture, try using a different dip switch setting. The trim pod next to the RJ-45 connector
on the Component Extender-S allows brightness adjustments for video.
0-25 Feet All dip switches OFF for all colors.
26-100 Feet Set dip switch #1 ON all colors. 2,3,4 remain OFF.
101-200 Feet Set dip switch #2 ON all colors. 1,3,4 remain OFF.
201-300 Feet Set dip switch #3 ON all colors. 1,2,4 remain OFF.
301 Feet and Up Set dip switch #4 ON all colors. 1,2,3 remain OFF.
NOTE: The dip switches are set to the OFF position when the switch is closest to the
number or in the down position.
