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.
INTRODUCTIO
N
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.
