INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your purchase of the Wireless for HDMI UWB. 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 hard­working solutions that are easy to implement and simple to operate.

The Gefen Wireless for HDMI UWB

The Gefen Wireless for HDMI UWB is the perfect solution for sending up to three
High Defi nition Video sources to any one location without the hassle of wires. Up to
30 feet line of sight extension (less if going through a wall to an adjacent room) is
achievable with supported resolutions of up to 1080p30. This is a perfect solution in
scenarios where traditional cabling cannot be applied. The plug and play installation
makes it simpler than ever to extend HDMI to another room or to a ceiling projector
in a matter of minutes, all without ever having to get on a ladder or drill through walls
and ceilings. The Gefen Wireless for HDMI UWB uses Ultra Wide Band technology
from T-Zero which operates in the 3.1-4.8Ghz band. UWB will not interfere with your
other concurrently running wi-fi wireless products.

The Gefen Wireless for HDMI doubles as a High Defi nition video switcher. There are
three High Defi nition video inputs (2 HDMI and 1 Component) that are selectable at
the sending location. Three high defi nition sources, one wireless solution.

If the wireless receiver is located in an adjacent room, the IR repeater feature will
relay remote control commands from your location back to the source. Once the
IR blaster has been properly placed on the source device(s), you simply point your
existing remote control at the receiver which will send the remote commands back to
your device(s) for a truly seamless high defi nition experience.

How It Works

The Gefen Wireless for HDMI UWB uses a simple send and receive methodology.
There is one sending unit that is paired to one receiving unit at a remote location. All
communication sent between these units are done using wireless signals. Connect
up to 2 HDMI and 1 Component video source to the transmitting unit and connect the
display, with optional analog audio, to the receiving unit. Once the included power
supplies are connected and the display and sources are turned on, you will be able
to enjoy High Defi nition quality video at your display location.

To switch between the available inputs, press the input selector switch located on
the sender’s front panel. Alternatively, you can use the Auto Switching feature that
will monitor both HDMI ports and switch to inputs when it detects that either HDMI
source’s power has been turned on. When that HDMI device is tuned off, the Gefen
Wireless for HDMI UWB will automatically switch back to last viewed source. To
switch to the component input, simply turn off both of the connected HDMI sources or
use the input selector switch on the sender unit.
