INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of the Extender for HDMI 1.3 Over One Fiber
with IR. 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 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.

DIP SWITCH CONFIGURATION
DIP Switches
On the bottom of the Sender Unit and Receiver Unit are a bank of four (4) DIP
switches. These DIP switches provide control over EDID, Deep Color, and unit
Calibration.
Remove the strip of tape to expose the DIP switches. To change the DIP switch
settings, move the appropriate DIP switch to its ON or OFF position using a small
pointed object. The DIP switches and their functions are shown below.

DIP SWITCH CONFIGURATION
DIP 1 - EDID Mode
• OFF - Local EDID
When Local EDID mode is used, the EDID will be assembled by copying
all video and audio features of the connected device. Deep Color support
will be manually controlled: If Deep Color is supported by the display(s),
DIP 2 should be set to the ON position (see DIP 2 - Deep Color, below). By
default, the unit is shipped with DIP 1 in the OFF position.
• ON - Pass-Through EDID
Allows all video and audio features of the connected devices to be passed to
the source device without control over Deep Color.
DIP 2* - Deep Color
NOTE: DIP switch 2 is only functional when DIP switch 1 is set to the OFF posi-
tion.
• OFF - Enables Deep Color support (12-bit color)
Enables Deep Color support. In Pass-through EDID Mode, setting DIP2 =
OFF has no effect since all EDID information is passed through.
• ON - Forces 8-bit Color
Disables Deep Color in the EDID. Deep Color management is only available
when Local EDID is being used.
DIP 3 - Calibration Mode
• OFF - Enables Calibration Mode
Enables Calibration Mode. Make sure to set DIP switch 3 on both the
Sender Unit and Receiver Unit when calibrating the Extenders. See page 11
for details.
• ON - Calibration Mode Lock
Locks the calibration settings. Set DIP switch 3 on both the Sender Unit and
Receiver Unit to the ON position after the calibration process has completed.
See page 11 for details on the calibration process.

DIP SWITCH CONFIGURATION
Calibrating the Sender Unit and Receiver Unit
IMPORTANT: Before beginning the calibration process, make sure that the
Sender Unit and Receiver are not powered.
1. Make sure DIP switch 3 on both the Sender Unit and the Receiver Unit are in
the OFF position (see page 9).
2. Connect one end of the fi ber cable to the Sender Unit. Connect the other
end of the fi ber cable to the Receiver Unit.
3. Make sure DIP switch 3 on both the Sender Unit and the Receiver Unit are in
the OFF position (see page 9).
4. Connect the 5V DC Locking Power Supplies to the Sender Unit and the
Receiver Unit. Do not overtighten the locking connectors. Plug the power
cord into an available electrical outlet.
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 turn 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: If the fi ber optic cable is changed, repeat the calibration procedure.
Troubleshooting Procedure
• If the Sender Unit and Receiver Unit did not complete the calibration
process, the indicator LEDs on both Sender Unit and Receiver Unit will be
red. Check the fi ber connections carefully and cycle the power on both the
Sender Unit and the Receiver Unit and repeat the calibration procedure.
• When the indicator LED at one unit is GREEN and the other is RED,
cycle power on the unit with the RED indicator. It is also recommended to
cycle power on both the Sender Unit and the Receiver Unit to perform a full
calibration.
• If the calibration procedure continues to fail, contact Gefen Technical
Support under the Asking For Assistance section at the beginning of this
manual.
