The GefenTV Wireless for HDMI In-Room Solution

The GefenTV Wireless for HDMI In-Room Solution sends high denition audio and video to
any HDTV display up to 80 feet (25 meters). It extends HDMI A/V content from computers
using HDMI, set-top boxes, Blu-ray players, and other A/V sources to remote HDMI­compliant display(s). This wireless product is comprised of a small Sender unit and one
table-top Receiver unit. It supports HD resolutions up to 1080p Full HD along with support
for up to 7.1 channels of LPCM, and up to 5.1 channels of Dolby® TrueHD, and DTS-HD
Master Audio™. The Wireless for HDMI In-Room Solution transmits within the room and
does not require line-of-sight placement of transceivers for good reception. Thanks to its
small form-factor and easy to plug in Sender unit, this product is ideal for high-denition
A/V extension within a conference room or home theater installation that requires the quick
addition of portable devices such as a presentation laptop computer or a video camera to
an existing A/V system. Additional features allow multiple Sender units where each display
can access up to eight sources, using the included handheld remote control.

How It Works

Plug the Sender unit directly into the HDMI output of the source. Connect the included
HDMI cable from the Receiver unit to the HDTV display. When using a PC as the source,
connect the supplied USB-to-mini-USB cable from the PC to the Sender unit. When using
sources that do not have an available powered USB port, you will need to use the
provided USB power supply. Connect the other power supply to the DC jack on the back
of the Receiver unit. Connect the power supplies to available electrical outlets. Power-up
the source and the display. Within approximately one minute, the “Video” indicators on both
units should now glow solid blue to indicate a successful connection between the Sender
and Receiver unit. If the Sender and Receiver units do not pair automatically, the LEDs
on the Sender will continue to blink. Navigate through the on-screen menu and have the
Receiver unit look for a Sender unit. If the remote is not available, you can press and hold
the recessed pairing button on the Receiver with a paper clip until its Link LED stops blink­ing and goes dark. Press and hold the pairing button on the Sender unit until the Link LED
stops blinking and goes dark. If navigating the menu using the remote, press the OK button
on the IR remote. A message indicating that the Sender and the Receiver units have been

paired will appear on the display.

FCC STATEMENT

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC
Rules. Operation is subject to the following
two conditions: (1) This device may not cause
harmful interference, and (2) this device must
accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired
operation

INSTRUCTION TO THE USER

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a class
B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed
to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency
energy and if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may
cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no

guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this

equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which
can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged
to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna

• Increase the separation between the equipment and Receiver unit

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which

the Receiver unit is connected

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

In order to maintain compliance with FCC regulations, shielded cables must be
used with this equipment. Operation with non-approved equipment or unshielded
cables is likely to result in interference to radio and TV reception. The user is
cautioned that changes and modications made to the equipment without the
approval of the manufacturer could void the user’s authority to operate this
equipment.

• Obstructions such as walls and furniture may reduce performance and

reception distance.

• DVI-D Support

• Gefen recommends placing both units into the provided stands, with

the Gefen logo pointing down, to help maintain the strongest possible
transmission signal.

• Interference caused by other RF products may reduce performance and

reception distance.

• Use with multiple Sender units:

» Can be used with a single Receiver unit to provide source-switching

capability.

» Up to 8 Senders are supported. Local RF interference can limit the

number of Sender units that can be used. Each Sender unit needs
to be placed at least 1 meter apart for optimum performance.

» US Models: Up to 4 pairs of Sender and Receiver units can be

operated in the same environment. Local RF interference can limit
the number of units that can be used. Each Sender unit needs to be
placed at least 1 meter apart for optimum performance. If additional
Sender / Receiver pairs are to be used, each set of units must be placed
beyond the reception range (80 feet / 25 meters) of the other in order to
prevent interference.

OPERATION NOTES

Continued from previous page

» EU Models: Up to 2 pairs of Sender and Receiver units can be

operated in the same environment. Local RF interference can limit
the number of units that can be used. Each Sender unit needs to be
placed at least 1 meter apart for optimum performance. If additional
Sender / Receiver pairs are to be used, each set of units must be
placed beyond the reception range (80 feet / 25 meters) of each
other in order to prevent interference.

• IR back-channel compatibility:

» Only products with 38 kHz IR carrier frequency are compatible. If in

doubt, please check with the equipment manufacturer.

» Due to complexity in some manufacturers’ IR codes, not all 38kHz

IR devices may be compatible with the IR Back Channel of the
Wireless for HDMI. The following brands have been tested by
Gefen: Panasonic, Sony, and Samsung.

• Operational Limitations:

» Regarding US and EU models, note that all RF devices are designed

by compliance regulation to accept interference from all other
devices. Operation of wireless products is therefore dependent on the
environment they are in. Other RF products, even ones that seemingly
might not be in the frequency range, do create harmonics and other

artifacts that could interfere with the operation of the Wireless for HDMI.
