Operating Notes
•

Gefen recommends using CAT-5e (or better) cables.

•

Resolution will affect extension distance. 1080p Full HD can be extended up to 495
feet (150 meters) and is limited to 8-bit color depth. 4K resolutions can be extended
up to 330 feet (100 meters). See HDBT (HDBaseT™) Mode (page 17) for details.

•

Power Over Line (POL) is a Gefen proprietary technology that provides power over a
single CAT-5e (or better) cable. A power supply (1 pc included) can be connected to
either the Sender or Receiver unit.

•

This product passes through the display’s EDID to the source. If the display is capable
of accepting Deep Color, the source must be manually configured to output 8-bit color.
This is only applicable when using 4K x 2K resolutions and “long-run” modes.
See HDBT (HDBaseT™) Mode (page 17) for more information.

•

This product supports sources up to 4K 300 MHz (60 Hz 4:2:0 or 30 Hz 4:4:4). It is not
compatible with sources that are capable of HDR or 4K 600 MHz (60 Hz 4:4:4).

•

For Standard Range operation for up to 100m/330ft maximum distance, please make
sure that the DIP Switch # 3 on the bottom of the Sender unit is in “OFF” position.
To enable the Extended Range (up to 150m/495ft) mode, flip the DIP switch to “ON”.
Please see DIP Switch Configuration (page 14) for information on all DIP switches.

DIP Switch Configuration

HPD Mode
HPD (Hot-Plug Detect) is an HDMI feature that senses if the HDMI cable is disconnected
from the source or sink device. Once this occurs, the HDMI link is re-initialized if
necessary. The 4K Ultra HD HDBaseT Extender w/ RS-232, 2-way IR and POL
allows you to control the way HPD is handled.

Description

Sender unit

HPD High
•

Both DIP switch 1 and 2 must be in the
down (OFF) position when setting HPD
high.

•

HPD is always high, even when the display
is hot-plugged (disconnected from then
reconnected to the source device).

HPD Pass-through
•

DIP switch 2 must be in the up (ON)
position when setting HPD pass-through.

•

The position of DIP switch 1 is ignored
and can be in the up (ON) or down (OFF)
position.

•

HPD will toggle, depending on the HPD
status of the display (sink) or source
device.

HDBaseT™ Extender
w/ RS-232, 2-way IR and POH

Appendix

Updating the Firmware
There are two methods for updating the 4K Ultra HD HDBaseT Extender w/ RS-232,
2-way IR and POL. The recommended method is to update both units at the same time by
leaving the Sender and Receiver unit connected. Updating the Sender unit will update the
Receiver unit (or vice versa). The second method is to update the Sender and Receiver
unit separately.

Single Update Procedure
This method is recommended and can be used in situations where disconnecting the
system is impractical or difficult. The power supply must be connected to either the Sender
or Receiver unit. The update procedure can take place at the Sender or Receiver location.
1.

Download the latest firmware here: http://www.gefen.com/support/download.jsp

Extract the contents of the .zip file to the desktop on your computer.

Disconnect the power supply from the Sender (or Receiver) unit.

Set the following DIP switches on the Sender and Receiver units:
►

Sender unit
Set DIP switch 4, on the bottom of the Sender unit, to the ON position:
ON

1
►

SAB

Receiver unit
Set DIP switch 1, on the bottom of the Receiver unit, to the ON position:
ON

Connect the included RS-232 cable between the Sender (or Receiver) unit and the
computer.

Launch a terminal emulation program. In this example, we will be using Windows®
Hyperterminal.

Surface Mounting Instructions
The Sender and Receiver units can be mounted on any flat surface, as shown below
(mounting screws are not included). To accommodate for connection and disconnection of
the cables, please leave sufficient clearance between the two edges of the unit that house
the connectors and any walls or vertical surfaces.
For installation on a drywall surface, use a #6 drywall screw. When installing, it is
recommended to use the center hole on a stud.

Shielded (STP) CAT-5 or CAT-6 is recommended. However, unshielded (UTP)
CAT-5 or CAT-6 is acceptable. CAT-5, CAT-5e, and CAT-6 cabling comes in stranded
and solid core types. Gefen recommends using solid core cabling. CAT-6 cable is also
recommended.
It is recommended to use one continuous run from one end to the other. Patch cable is
not recommended.
