100% signal integrity over this single cable extension solution. How It Works The Gefen DVI over one CAT6 Extender system consists of two devices, a sender and a receiver. The single-link DVI source (set-top box, DVD player, or computer video card output) connects to the sender unit with the supplied 6-foot DVI cable.
OPERATION NOTES READ THESE NOTES BEFORE INSTALLING OR OPERATING THE DVI OVER ONE CAT6 EXTENDER • The DVI over one CAT6 Extender was designed for use with high quality CAT-6a (augmented) cabling. This unit will either not perform to specifi cation or refuse to operate completely if cabling other than CAT-6a is used.
FEATURES Features • Flexible extension of single-link DVI-D thanks to inexpensive and widely- available CAT6 cable • Video is transmitted digitally over the CAT6 cable for zero signal loss • Single Link Range (Maximum resolution): 1920x1200@60 Hz • Compliant with HDCP 1.1 and DVI 1.1 standards •...
SENDER PANEL DESCRIPTIONS 5V DC Power Receptacle Connect the included 5V DC power supply between this input and an open wall power socket. Power LED Indicator This LED will become active once the included 5V DC power supply is properly connected between the unit and an open wall power socket.
RECEIVER PANEL DESCRIPTIONS Equalization Adjustment (Trim Pot Control) The EQ adjustment or Trim Pot is used to equalize the signal to compensate for the extension distance and the quality/skew variances that are found in different CAT6a cabling brands. DVI Output Connector This connector hooks up the Receiver to a DVI-D compliant monitor at the remote destination.

CONNECTING AND OPERATING THE DVI OVER ONE CAT-6 EXTENDER Adjusting the Signal Quality The DVI over one CAT6 receiver unit has a equalization device called a Trim Pot (trim potentiometer) to compensate for the extension distance and the quality/ skew variances that are found in different CAT6a cabling brands. If there is no output video or if output video contains video artifacts and/or video noise such as snow, please use the steps below to adjust the Trim Pot.
DIP SWITCH CONFIGURATION DIP Switch Location On the bottom of the Receiver Unit, there are four (4) DIP switches. Each DIP switch performs a different function. Before modifying DIP switch settings, disconnect the power from the Receiver unit. After the DIP switches have been confi gured, reconnect the power. Receiver Unit (bottom) DIP Switch Bank...
DIP SWITCH CONFIGURATION DIP Switch Settings DIP 1 - EDID Management • OFF - Local EDID When Local EDID mode is used, the EDID will be assembled by copying all video and audio features of the connected output device. Deep Color support will be manually controlled using DIP switch 2 (see DIP 2 - Deep Color, below).
Gefen has specifi cally engineered products to work with the TIA/EIA-568-B specifi cation. Please follow the table below when fi eld terminating cable for use with Gefen products. Failure to do so may produce unexpected results and reduced performance. Color...
