with IR. Your complete satisfaction is very important to us.

The Gefen Extender for HDMI 1.3 Over One Fiber with IR
The Gefen Extender for HDMI 1.3 Over One Fiber with IR transmits 1080p Full
HD in Deep Color and multi-channel digital audio up to 1000 feet (330 meters)
over a single-strand SC fi ber optic cable. Extraordinary distances can be
achieved using this feature-rich device.
1080p Full HD with Deep Color is instantaneously displayed at the remote
location. This product also eliminates EMI (electromagnetic interference), picture
cut-outs and screen distortions traditionally seen with copper-based HDMI
extenders.
A multi-channel digital audio experience is delivered with Dolby TrueHD and
DTS-HD Master Audio.
A single-strand SC fi ber cable carries the IR back channel and bi-directional RS-
232, facilitating convenient local control of the video source devices.
How It Works
Connect the Sender Unit to the high defi nition source using the provided HDMI
cable. Connect the Receiver Unit to an HDTV display using another HDMI cable.
Run a single strand of SC fi ber optic cable from Sender Unit to the Receiver Unit.
Power up both the Sender Unit and the Receiver Unit. A clean and vibrant HDMI
A/V signal will appear on the display along with clear and crisp digital audio.
Send IR commands from the IR Remote Control back to A/V source equipment
via the IR back channel using the fi ber optic cable connecting the Sender Unit
to the Receiver Unit. The Sender Unit has an IR blaster port, enabling wide IR
signal coverage in an A/V equipment room.
In addition, RS-232 commands from a home automation system or PC can be
used to control the source device or any other RS-232 device using the ports on
the Sender Unit and the Receiver Unit.

OPERATION NOTES
READ THESE NOTES BEFORE INSTALLING OR
OPERATING THE EXTENDER FOR HDMI 1.3 OVER ONE FIBER WITH IR
• IR data repeater functionality is single-directional. IR data can only be
transmitted from the Receiving unit back to the Sending unit. IR data cannot
be transmitted from the Sending unit to the Receiving unit.
• Use one SC-terminated multi-mode fi ber optic cable to operate the HDMI 1.3
Over One Fiber with IR.
• 1080p video may be extended up to 1000 feet (300m), depending on the
type of fi ber optic cable used. The following maximum extension distances
will be possible depending on the types of fi ber optic cabling that are used:
• 100m (330 ft) on 62.5/125 μm (OM1) multi-mode SC fi ber
• 300m (1000 ft) on 50/125 μm (OM3) multi-mode SC fi ber
• RS-232 data is bi-directional for direct commands and echo function or
status information.
IMPORTANT CALIBRATION PROCEDURE
These steps must be followed when setting up the Gefen Extender for HDMI 1.3
over one Fiber with IR for the fi rst time.
• Connect the SC fi ber optic cable between the Sender unit and the Receiver
unit.
• Set DIP switch 3 on both the Sender unit and the Receiver unit to the OFF
position.
• Apply power to the source and to both the Sender and Receiver units. The
LED indicators on both the Sender unit and Receiver unit will alternate from
red to green during the calibration process. The calibration process can take
up to 120 seconds to complete.
• After the calibration process has fi nished, the LED indicators on both the
Sender unit and the Receiver unit will be solid green. Set DIP switch 3 to
the ON position on both the Sender unit and the Receiver unit to lock the
calibration settings.
NOTE: When changing fi ber optic cables, the calibration procedure must be
repeated. See page 11 for details on the calibration procedure.
