Congratulations on your purchase of the HDMI Over RGB. 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 HDMI Over RGB

The Gefen HDMI over RGB Extender is a handy extension solution which takes
an HDMI signal and extends it far away over legacy 4- or 5-connector coaxial
cabling. The HDMI over RGB Extender employes Gennum’s ActiveConnect
technology and is capable of delivering 1080p HDMI at distances up to 330 feet
(100 meters).

This is the ideal system for existing installations that are using RGBHV wiring
and would like to step up to a digital signal but not rip into the walls to rewire the
installation.

How It Works

Simply connect one end of the supplied HDMI cable to your HDMI video source.
Connect the other end of the supplied HDMI cable to the input side of the HDMI
over RGB Sender unit. Connect the HDMI over RGB Sender to the sending end
of your 4- or 5-plug coaxial cable run. If you are using a 5 cable confi guration,
power will be supplied to the receiving unit. If you have a 4-cable confi guration, a
second 5V power supply (sold separately) needs to be connected to the receiver
unit. At the receiving end of your coaxial cable extension, plug your HDMI over
RGB Receiver unit into your coaxial cable endpoints, then plug the HDMI over
RGB Receiver into your HDMI display. You will now see HDMI audio/video at
the remote location with perfect clarity and sound. You can connect and place
an optional Gefen IR Emitter/Blaster on the IR receiver of equipment you wish to
control from the remote location.

Note: This HDMI product supports BOTH Audio and Video signals.
