Congratulations on your purchase of the 4x4 HDMI™ Over CAT5 Matrix. 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 4x4 HDMI™ Over CAT5 Matrix
The Gefen 4x4 HDMI™ CAT5 Matrix offers unprecedented fl exibility and con-
venience by routing high defi nition audio/video from any of four HDMI™ video
sources to any of 4 remote displays over inexpensive, standard CAT5 cabling.
Each remote display has a control box that allows the viewer to select any of the
4 video sources and control that source via an IR remote control as if the viewer
was standing in the room where the source originates.
Full High-Resolution HDTV signals are supported up to a resolution of 1080p at
a maximum distance of 150 feet and 1080i resolutions can be extended up to
300 feet. The Gefen 4x4 HDMI™ CAT5 Matrix works with HD-DVD players, TiVo
systems, HT PCs, and satellite set-top boxes that connect to an HDMI™ display.
Every source is accessible at all times by any display by selecting it with an IR
remote.
How It Works
You simply connect up to 4 local video sources to the CAT5-Matrix’s inputs. Then
run each of your CAT5 cables from the Matrix to the destination displays. At each
remote display, terminate the CAT5 cable run with a HDMI™ CAT5-MS Receiver
device. Connect each Receiver to a display and you’re all set.

READ THESE NOTES BEFORE INSTALLING OR
OPERATING THE 4X4 HDMI™ OVER CAT5 MATRIX
To use the extender functionality of the • 4x4 HDMI™ Over CAT5 Matrix the
supplied 1 foot HDMI jumper cables must be used to connect the HDMI
output ports to the HDMI extension input ports. Please see page 11 for
details
Use two industry standard CAT-5, CAT-5e or CAT-6 cables to operate each •
of the 4x4 HDMI™ Over CAT5 Receivers. Gefen recommends CAT-6 cabling
for maximum performance.
For 1080i video, maximum extension is 300 feet (91 meters).•
For 1080p video, maximum extension is 150 feet (45 meters).•
IR repeater functionality is only from the receiving unit to the sending unit. IR •
data cannot be transmitted from the sending unit to the receiving unit.
When a display connects to a source being viewed by other displays, a short •
fl ash may appear momentarily on the displays already viewing that source.
This is normal operation as new handshakes for HDCP are being made.
Local displays that are not using the extension functionality of the 4x4 •
HDMI™ Over CAT5 Matrix can only switch their viewing source via the RS232 Serial Control Interface. Please see page 18 for a list of commands and
instructions.
