INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your purchase of the 2x4 Switcher for HDMI 1.3. 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

with hard-working solutions that are easy to implement and simple to operate.

The Gefen 2x4 Switcher for HDMI 1.3

Gefen’s 2x4 Switcher for HDMI 1.3 is equipped with two HDMI inputs and four
HDMI outputs. Two inputs accommodate the simultaneous connection of up to
two high defi nition video sources, such as satellite systems and HD DVD players.
3D content can be displayed when connecting a 3DTV and 3D source. Four
outputs send the high defi nition audio/video signals to up to four high defi nition
displays. Switching is done via the IR remote that is provided with the unit.

How It Works

You simply connect all your sources to the Switcher’s inputs. Then connect up
to four displays on the output ports. Once the sources, the Switcher and the
display(s) are powered and connected, you simply select which source you want
to view using the IR remote.

OPERATION NOTES

READ THESE NOTES BEFORE INSTALLING OR
OPERATING THE 2X4 SWITCHER FOR HDMI 1.3

• By default, display information from the display connected to HDMI output port
1 is sent back to the source. Therefore, the other display connected to the 2x4
Switcher for HDMI 1.3 must be capable of accepting the timings, resolutions
and audio formats of the display that is connected to HDMI output port 1. It is
recommended that the display with the lowest native resolution be connected
to HDMI output port 1. This is to ensure that a compatible video signal will
be able to be displayed on all connected monitors. There is a generic EDID
programmed into the 2x4 Switcher for HDMI 1.3 that can be used instead. See
page 1 1 for more details.
