INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your purchase of the DVI 1600HD 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 DVI 1600HD Extender

The Gefen DVI-1600HD is a perfect solution for extending and managing control
systems at great distances. The Gefen DVI-1600HD sends DVI or HDMI, Audio,
and RS232C signals up to 300m away when used with DVI at 1920x1200 and up
to 2km when used with DVI at lower resolutions. It maintains HD video signals
up to 1920x1200 with computers and 1080p with HD equipment. Additionally,
extension of RS232 signals helps create long-distance control systems for AV
integration or touch-panel systems.

How It Works

The Gefen DVI-1600HD system uses a send-and-receive methodology. The DVI/
HDMI/Audio/RS232C source devices are plugged into the Sender module. At
the Receiver, remote devices (including an HD display) plug into the Receiver
module. The proper length of fi ber optic cable is connected at both ends. Power
supplies for the modules are plugged into wall sockets and a crisp vibrant HD
picture results.

Note: This device fully supports Display Data Channel (DDC) and High­Bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) when the front panel switch on the
sender module is selected to HDMI.

The Gefen DVI-1600HD uses a DVI connector for video. HDMI can be sent by
using adapters or combo cables to provide DVI video with external digital audio
as combined input to the DVI-1600HD Sender unit. The result will be HDMI with
embedded audio at the Receiver end.

The digital input jacks can only support D-PCM or PCM stereo audio formats.
