The GefenToolBox KVM ELR Extender for HDMI 3DTV

The GefenToolBox KVM ELR Extender for HDMI 3DTV extends any Hi-Def, IR,
and USB from a home theater multimedia PC that can be located up to 330 feet
(100 meters) away using two CAT-5 cables. The Receiver unit allows the
connection of HDMI and two USB devices, providing access to printers,
scanners, cameras, external storage media, digital signage, and automated
control systems in addition to the display. USB 2.0 transfer rate up to 480 Mbps is

supported. This product uses Gefen ELR (Extra Long Range) technology,

supporting HDBaseT specications, allowing transmission of HDMI and IR
signals along the same CAT-5 cable. USB 2.0 is extended over the second
CAT-5 cable. Hi-Def resolutions up to Ultra HD 4K x 2K (3840 x 2160 @ 30Hz),
1080p Full HD, and 1920 x 1200 (WUXGA) are supported.

How It Works

Place the Sender Unit next to the Hi-Def source. Use the included HDMI cable
to connect the Hi-Def source to the Sender Unit. Use the supplied USB cable to
connect the USB host (source) device to the USB port on the Sender Unit.
Connect the Receiver Unit to the HDTV display monitor or digital signage display
with an HDMI cable. Connect the USB devices to the Receiver Unit. Use two
Cat-5 cables, up to 330 feet (100 meters), to connect the Sender Unit to the
Receiver Unit. Connect the included locking power supplies to the Sender Unit
and Receiver Unit, and then connect both power cords to available electrical

outlets.

OPERATION NOTES

PLEASE READ THESE NOTES BEFORE INSTALLING OR

OPERATING THE KVM ELR EXTENDER FOR HDMI 3DTV

• CAT-5 or CAT-6 cables should not exceed 330 feet (100 meters).

• Shielded (STP) CAT-5 or CAT-6 is recommended. However, un-shielded
(UTP) CAT-5 or CAT-6 is acceptable.

NOTE: The shielded cable has an advantage by providing immunity to
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI), cell phones and A/C motors.

• The GefenToolBox KVM ELR Extender for HDMI 3DTV features the ability to
generate compatible EDID and Hot Plug signals when working with different
brands of source devices and displays. See page 9 for details.

DIP SWITCH CONFIGURATION

Receiver Unit

The Gefen KVM ELR Extender for HDMI 3DTV contains four (4) DIP switches on
the bottom of the Receiver Unit (the Sender Unit does not contain DIP switches).
Each of these DIP switches performs a different function.

DIP Switch 1 - EDID Mode (Default = ON)

• ON - Pass-Through Mode

DDC and HPD are passed through. Both the connection status and the full
video capabilities of the monitor are used by the source device.

• OFF - Local EDID Mode

Local EDID is used instead of the EDID from the display device. EDID
features newer than HDMI 1.3 are removed when the display is read. This
provides a general EDID which is compatible with more displays.

Four DIP switches located on
the bottom of the Receiver Unit.

10

DIP SWITCH CONFIGURATION

DIP Switch 2 - Hot Plug Detect (Default = OFF)*

• ON - HPD Pass-Through

HPD follows upstream HPD towards the source. The HPD signal will reect
the connection status between the display device and the source device. If
the source or monitor is temporarily disconnected then reconnected, there

will be a delay of 20 - 30 seconds before the content is restored to the

monitor.

• OFF - HPD Always High

The HPD signal remains high regardless of the downstream HPD state.
If the source or monitor does not properly handle HPD (no picture after
connecting / reconnecting source or display), set this DIP switch to the OFF

position.

DIP Switch 3 - Supports DVI Connections (Default = OFF)*

• ON - Disable HDCP

If a DVI connection is used, set DIP 3 to the ON position. DVI is supported
by disabling HDCP pass-through.

• OFF - Enable HDCP

If an HDMI device is connected, set DIP 3 in the OFF position.

DIP Switch 4 - Not Supported

• Reserved for future use

*DIP switch is only operational when using Local EDID (DIP 1 = OFF).

WALL MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS

The GefenToolBox KVM ELR Extender for HDMI 3DTV Sender Unit and
Receiver Unit may be mounted vertically on a wall or in a cabinet with wood/
drywall screws as shown in the diagram above. There should be an inch or two
of clearance between the edges of the unit and any walls or vertical surfaces

to allow for enough clearance for insertion and retraction of all input and output
cables.

For installation on a drywall surface, use a #6 drywall screw. It is recommended

when installing on a drywall surface that studs be used to secure the Extender
should undue stress be applied when connecting and disconnecting cables.
