he Gefen 4x4 DVI Extender
S
The4x4 DVI Extender S Extender is the perfect solution for anyone who needs to
end multiple (up to four) DVI video sources to multiple (up to four) DVI displays
in remote l
ocations a
t the same time.
The4x4 DVI Extender S Extender has 4 DVI video inputs. The DVI sources are
ent to up to four DVI CAT5 MS receivers via industry standard CAT-5, CAT-
e or CAT-6 cables. Distances of up to 300 feet for 1080i video, and 150 feet
f
or 1080p video are possible. Signal auto-equalization is set by default and will
rovide optimal image reproduction for cable runs of 130 feet or less. Manual
qualization is available for cable runs at greater distances.
How It Works
onnect your DVI video sources to the 4x4 DVI Extender S inputs using the
upplied DVI cables. Run two CAT-5, CAT-5e or CAT-6 network cables from the
4x4 DVI Extender S Extender to each of the DVI CAT5 MS Receivers. Lastly,
onnect up to four DVI displays to the DVI CAT5 MS receivers at the remote
tions.

READ THESE NOTES BEFORE INSTALLING OR
OPERATING THE 4X4 DVI EXTENDER
S
•The 4x4 DVI Extender SExtender and DVI CAT5 MSR units are housed in a
etal box for better RF shielding.
• The maximum cable extension is 300 feet (91 meters) for video resolutions
of 1
080
i and below.
• The maximum cable extension is 150 feet (45 meters) for video resolutions
of 1080p.
•If EMI is present anywhere near the RJ-45 video cable runs, it ma
y
be necessary to use shielded RJ-45 cable. This is to prevent possible
interference from degrading the video signal. Using shielded cable, however,
will reduce the maximum distance that the RJ-45 cable can be run.
• Extensions under 130 feet can use Auto EQ (which is on by default).
Extensions over 130 feet will require you to manually EQ your signal (see
age 8).
•Each
cable ru
n must be one contin
uous ru
n from one end to the other. No
plices or use of punch down blocks.
•
igh quality CAT-6a cabling should be used for maximum performance.
• Do not use stranded or low/no skew cabling. Solid core cabling should be
sed for maximum performance.

X4 DVI EXTENDER S CONFIGURATIO
N
The 4x4 DVI Extender S and DVI CAT5 MSR receivers have built-in auto
qualization that will automatically tune out any unwanted video noise. This
f
eature is reliable with premium cable runs up to a maximum of 130 feet. It ma
y
be necessary to disable this feature if there is either no video being displayed on
initial start-up, there is video noise in the image, or the cable run exceeds 130
f
eet. First, verify that all the proper connections have been made and that all
devices are powered on before attempting to disable auto equalization. Please
f
ollow the section on the next page to manually equalize the video signal.
Page 12
ANUAL EQUALIZATION PROCEDURE
The
Extender and DVI CAT5 MSR receiver units both have
ets of DIP switches located on the underside of their casings. There is a piece of
ilver metallic tape that must be removed to expose these DIP switches. The 4x4
Extender unit carries 4 banks of 4 DIP switches. Each DVI CAT5
R receiver carries one bank of 4 DIP switches. Dip switches 1 and 2 on both
the sending and receiving units are used in this procedure. Dip switches 3 and 4
are not used. By default, DIP switch 2 on each bank of the 4x4 DVI Extender
S
Extender should be in the ON position, and all DIP switches on each DVI CAT5
R receiving unit should be in the OFF position (Auto EQ On). To turn off auto
qualization, turn DIP switch 1 on the receiving units to the ON position (Auto E
Q
o
ff)
. With these settings, please follow the steps below to equalize the picture.
1. Insert a small fl at head tool into the trim pot on the receiver unit.
2. Turn the trim pot in a clockwise fashion until it comes to a stop. Do not force
the trim pot beyond this point. Doing so may render the trim pot useless.
.
lowly turn the trim pot counter-clockwise in millimeter increments until the
image stabilizes and all video noise disappears.
4.
arefully remove the adjustment tool.
NOTE: If your cable run is beyond 130 feet, or the steps above do not produce
any video, it may be necessary to increase the boost from the sending unit. Use
the chart below to increase the senders to medium boost by changing the 4x4
Extender’s DIP switches. Once a new boost setting is set, repeat
teps 1 through 4 from above. If this still does not produce and image, increase
the boost to high and repeat the EQ process.
