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 congured 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, ip the DIP switch to “ON”.
Please see DIP Switch Conguration (page 14) for information on all DIP switches.

DIP Switch Conguration
Each of the following sections describe the DIP switch settings that control each feature.
DIP switches that are not related to a specic feature have been grayed-out. Note that DIP
switch settings can be used independently or in conjunction with other features, as desired.
EDID Management
The 4K Ultra HD HDBaseT Extender w/ RS-232, 2-way IR and POL provides EDID
management. The Sender unit can use the EDID from the sink device (downstream EDID)
or modify the EDID, locally.
Description Sender unit Receiver unit
External EDID mode (default)
• Allows all video and audio features of the
connected device to be passed to the
source device.
Internal EDID mode
• Copies the downstream EDID locally for
use with HPD High Mode.
• See HPD Mode (page 16) for more
information.

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 Receiver 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.

page | 28
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 difcult. 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 rmware here: http://www.gefen.com/support/download.jsp
2. Extract the contents of the .zip le to the desktop on your computer.
3. Disconnect the power supply from the Sender (or Receiver) unit.
4. 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:
►Receiver unit
Set DIP switch 1, on the bottom of the Receiver unit, to the ON position:
5. Connect the included RS-232 cable between the Sender (or Receiver) unit and the
computer.
6. Launch a terminal emulation program. In this example, we will be using Windows®
Hyperterminal.

Data bits 8
Parity None
Stop bits 1
Hardware ow control None
8. Reconnect the power supply to the Sender (or Receiver) unit.
9. Type the following in the terminal application:
#fw_upgrade
10. Press the [ENTER] key.
11. When prompted, press 1 on the computer keyboard.
12. Click Transfer > Send File...
13. Select the rmware le: ELR_BIDIR_[version].bin.
14. Select the YModem protocol and click the Send button.
15. After the upgrade process is complete, the unit will automatically reboot.
16. Both the Sender and Receiver units are now updated.
Appendix
page | 30
Individual Update Procedure
This method requires that the Sender and Receiver unit are updated separately.
Unless there is a specic reason, the Single Update Procedure (page 28) is
recommended.
1. Download the latest rmware here: http://www.gefen.com/support/download.jsp
2. Extract the contents of the .zip le to the desktop on your computer.
3. Disconnect the Sender and Receiver unit from the system. Make sure the power is
disconnected from both the Sender and Receiver unit.
4. 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:
►Receiver unit
Set DIP switch 1, on the bottom of the Receiver unit, to the ON position:
5. Connect the included RS-232 cable between the unit and the computer.
6. Launch a terminal emulation program. In this example, we will be using Windows®

The Sender and Receiver units can be mounted on any at surface, as shown below
(mounting screws are not included). To accommodate for connection and disconnection of
the cables, please leave sufcient 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.

Front of RJ-45 Connector
Gefen recommends the TIA/EIA-568-B wiring option. Use the following table when
terminating cables in the eld.
Pin Color Description
1 Orange / White TD+ (Transmit Data, positive differential signal)
2 Orange TD- (Transmit Data, negative differential signal)
3 Green / White RD+ (Receive Data, positive differential signal)
4 Blue Unused
5 Blue / White Unused
6 Green RD- (Receive Data, negative differential signal)
7 Brown / White Unused
8 Brown / White Unused
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.
