ongratulations on your purchase of the DVI 3600 HD. Your complete

atisfaction 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 DVI 3600 H

The DVI 3600 HD allows you to operate a single DVI-compliant computer from
two workstations, by extending DVI, USB 2.0, analog audio, and RS-232 from the

omputer to the remote workstation. USB peripherals can be placed at either of

the two locations, by the Sender or Receiver unit.

How It Works

The DVI 3600 HD system consists of a Sender and a Receiver unit. The Sender

onnects to the computer’s DVI-compliant video card output, analog audio jack,

-232 port, and USB port. The DVI 3600 HD Receiver connects to the remote
display and peripherals. Four strands of LC fi ber optic cable connect the Sender
and Receiver together

The DVI 3600 HD has two modes of USB operation. When in local mode, the

omputer sees USB devices connected to the Sender. When in remote mode,

the computer sees USB devices connected to the Receiver. Modes are switched

sing a switch on the front panel of the Sender.

•LC terminated fi ber optic cables (2 pairs) are required for operation of the

DVI 3600 HD system.

• The DVI 3600 HD relies on either Virtual DDC or a locally connected display

on the sender unit) for display information (EDID). In Virtual DDC mode the

ender unit will store the remotely connected display’s EDID. This EDID will
eed to be recorded onto the sender unit. See page 12 for instructions on
sing the Virtual DDC feature.

• When using a local display, ensure that the remote display can displa

ommon resolutions and timings that are in the EDID of the local display.
The reverse applies when using the Virtual DDC mode: The local display in
Virtual DDC mode must be able to accept common resolutions and timings
that are in the EDID of the remote display.

• This device will accept both singlemode and multimode fi ber optic cables.

• This device will accept both 50μm and 62.5μm multi-mode fiber optic cable
types.
