Operating Notes
•

Important
•
While Unshielded (UTP) CAT-5e is usually adequate, shielded (STP) CAT-6A 		
is recommended. Shielded (STP) CAT-5e or unshielded (UTP) CAT-5e or CAT6A may be acceptable depending on cable quality. Care should always be given
to keep these cables away from power lines and other sources of electromagnetic
interference.
•
Cable quality is critical when handling 600 MHz HDMI signals. We highly
recommend 10-foot or shorter Gefen Locking HDMI cables. They have been
designed and tested to work at 600 MHz and reliably transport the the full 18.2
Gbps throughput of HDMI 2.0.
•
The Sender unit has 2 EDID Management DIP Switches on its bottom panel,
under a self-adhesive cover. This product is shipped with its DIP switches set to
enable 4K with 2-Channel Audio mode (SW1: ON, SW2: OFF). Please see the manual
for details before changing the DIP Switch settings.
		
•
The GTB-UHD600-HBT and GTB-UHD600-HBTL vary in maximum extension
distances, based on resolution / timing and color depth. Refer to the Features
section on pages 6 and 7 for more information .
•
Power Over Line (POL) is a proprietary Gefen implementation that provides
power over the link cable. The GTB-UHD600-HBT and GTB-UHD600-HBTL feature
Bi-Directional POL, meaning that the power supply (1 pc included) can be connected
to either the Sender or the Receiver unit.
•
The information in this manual has been carefully checked and is believed
to be accurate. However, Gefen and Core Brands, LLC assume no responsibility for
any inaccuracies that may be contained in this manual. In no event will Gefen and
Core Brands, LLC be liable for direct, indirect, special, incidental, or consequential
damages resulting from any defect or omission in this manual.

RS-232*
Connecting RS-232 Devices*
The GTB-UHD600-HBT supports RS-232 extension. The RS-232 interface is also used to
upgrade the firmware using the Gefen Syner-G™ software.
1.

Connect RS-232 Tx, Rx, and Ground from an automation control device to the removable
3-pin “Captive Screw” Phoenix connector that is attached to the RS-232 port of the Sender
unit. Each of the 3 pins is identified on the connector panel. If your automation device
has a male DB-9 port and you prefer to not do the wiring, you can purchase an ADA-PH2-DB9-MF-AB adaptor cable from your Gefen distributor. This adaptor cable has a female
DB-9 on one end and a 3-pin Phoenix connector on the other.

2.

Connect RS-232 Tx, Rx, and Ground from the device-to-be-controlled, to the removable 3-pin “Captive Screw” Phoenix connector that is attached to the RS-232 port of the
Receiver unit. Each of the 3 pins is identified on the connector panel. If the RS-232 device
you wish to control has a female DB-9 port and you prefer to not do the wiring, you can
purchase an ADA-PH-2-DB9-MM-AB adaptor cable from your Gefen distributor. This
adaptor cable has a male DB-9 on one end and a 3-pin Phoenix connector on the other.

3.

Since RS-232 is a bi-directional commuinications protocol, and depending on your application, you can also connect the automation controller to the receiver and the device-tobe-controlled to the sender.

included.

Firmeware Update
Firmware Update
1.

Sender and Receiver should each be updated separately. To ensure proper operation,
always update both units.

2.

A Windows PC that is running Gefen Syner-G™ software, needs to be connected to to the
RS-232 port of the GTB-UHD600-HBT or the Syner-G™ port of the GTB-UHD600-HBTL.
Sender and Receiver, either through a native RS-232 interface or using a USB-to-Serial
adaptor.

3.

Remove power from the unit to be updated, by disconnecting the 12V DC power supply
and the Link connector. Make sure that the Prog switche on the Sender or Receiver is in
On (up) position, and then re-apply power to the unit by connecting the included power
supply to the 12V DC port and to an available electrical outlet. The power LED will glow to
indicate that the unit is receiving power.

4.

Connect RS-232 Tx, Rx, and Ground from the PC or USB-to-Serial adaptor to the
removable 3-pin “Captive Screw” Phoenix connector that is attached to the RS-232 or
Syner-G™ port of the Sender or Receiver to be updated. Each of the 3 pins is identified on
the connector panel. If your PC or USB-to-Serial adaptor has a male DB-9 port and you
prefer to not do the wiring, you can purchase an ADA-PH-2-DB9-MF-AB adaptor cable
from your Gefen distributor. This adaptor cable has a female DB-9 on one end and a 3-pin
Phoenix connector on the other.

5.

Follow on-screen instructions in Gefen Syner-G™ to perform the firmware update on each
unit.

6.

Once a unit has successfully been updated, remove power from the unit, set the Prog
switch to Off (down) position, and reco0nnect the Link cable and the power supply.
