HDMI Super Booster PLUS
Extend the range of your copper HDMI cables -- up to 200 feet!
The new Gefen HDMI Super Booster Plus allows you to extend the reach of copper HDMI cables
up to 200 feet from the video source, while fully supporting High-Definition display protocols to
insure maximum compatibility with the way that high-definition signals are encoded today and in the
future.
With the new Plus model, improved DDC signal robustness is added, giving robustness to electrical
signals that negotiate delicate resolution and frequency settings, for even greater precision than
ever before.
How It Works
Simply attach your long HDMI extension cable to your video source, then place the HDMI Super
Booster Plus on the other end near the monitor. Attach the monitor's video cable to the other side
of the Booster and power-cycle all your equipment including video source and display. You should
then see a beautiful HDMI picture at the remote display as if it was right at the local video source.
Note: This device fully passes HDCP.

INTRODUCTION
Up to 200 feet can be easily traversed using your HDMI cable plus a HDMI Super
Booster Plus. The HDMI Super Booster Plus corrects any digital degradation that
occurs when HDMI is used to send digital audio/video signals beyond the HDMI
specifi cation of 15 feet.
How It Works
This plug and play installation takes mere seconds. You simply connect the HDMI
cable on one side of the HDMI Super Booster Plus and the display’s cable on the
other side. The HDMI Super Booster Plus sits between the end of your HDMI cable
and your display. You also have the option of connecting another HDMI cable to the
Booster, daisy chaining Boosters and cables for greater distances.
The Gefen HDMI Super Booster Plus is an attractive alternative to the traditional
sender/receiver solutions for HD extension. The HDMI Super Booster Plus enables
your standard “off the shelf” HDMI cable to transmit HDTV video plus multichannel
digital audio in a single cable way beyond the limited HDMI specifi cation of 15-feet.

Manual Equalization
By default, the HDMI Super Booster Plus is set to manual equalization. The service Dip
Switch 2, located on the underside of the unit behind a silver colored metallic sticker, must
be in the OFF position for manual EQ to be enabled. Dip Switch 1 relates to manual EQ
short and long cable settings. By default, Dip Switch 1 is in the long cable mode (OFF).
Adjust the EQ Trim Pot on the front of the unit to eliminate video noise by inserting a small
fl at-head tool into the Trim Pot port. Turn the Trim Pot in very small increments to EQ the
video signal until all video noise is eliminated. If a short cable is being used and there
is either video noise that cannot be tuned out or no image at all in the long cable mode,
change the manual EQ setting to short cable mode by turning Dip Switch 1 to the ON
position. Re-insert the adjustment tool and EQ the video signal. Use the diagram on the
next page to locate and view the location and settings of the Dip Switches.
Connect the long HDMI cable from the source into the “HDMI In” on the front of 1.
