Congratulations on your purchase of the DVI DL Super
Booster Plus. Your complete satisfaction is very important
to us.
Gefen
Gefen delivers innovative, progressive computer and
electronics add-on solutions that harness integration,
extension, distribution and conversion technologies.
Gefen’s reliable, plug-and-play products supplement
cross-platform computer systems, professional audio/
video environments and HDTV systems of all sizes with
hard-working solutions that are easy to implement and
simple to operate.
The Gefen DVI DL Super Booster Plus
The DVI DL Booster Plus uses a plug-in power supply
which helps to extend sparkling clear video images to
great distances (up to 200 feet at 2560x1600). Rest as-
sured that with this product you can enjoy your computer
desktop as if the computer was in the same room as the
display.
To go beyond the limited inherent DVI distance or if you’d
like to use two or more cables, our Boosters are a perfect
option. They replicate digital video signals, enabling you
to “daisy chain” cables and Boosters as far as you need
to go.
How It Works
This plug and play installation takes mere seconds. Sim-
ply place the DVI-DL Super Booster Plus in the middle of
two Dual-Link cables or at the end of a long DVI-DL cable
extension. Make sure all video cables are connected
properly at the source and destination ends. Attach the
power cable to the DVI-DL Super Booster Plus. Power up
(or restart) all equipment.

How to Connect the DVI DL Super Booster Plus
1. Connect the long DVI cable from the source into the
“DVI In” on the front of the DVI DL Super Booster
Plus. The DVI DL Super Booster Plus is placed next
to your display to regenerate the DVI signal.
2. Connect a short DVI cable from the “DVI Out”
connection in the back of the DVI DL Super Booster
Plus to your display or projector
3. Plug the 5V DC power supply into the DVI DL Super
Booster Plus.
4. Plug the 5VDC wall mount power supply into the
wall outlet.
Manual Equalization
By default, the DVI DL Super Booster Plus is set to
manual equalization. The service Dip Switch 2, located on
the underside of the unit behind a silver colored metallic
sticker, must be in the OFF position for manual EQ to be
enabled. Dip Switch 1 relates to manual EQ short and
long cable settings. By default, Dip Switch 1 is in the long
cable mode (OFF). Adjust the EQ Trim Pot on the front of
the unit to eliminate video noise by inserting a small flat-
head tool into the Trim Pot port. Turn the Trim Pot in very
small increments to EQ the video signal until all video
noise is eliminated. If a short cable is being used and
there is either video noise that cannot be tuned out or no
image at all in the long cable mode, change the manual
EQ setting to short cable mode by turning Dip Switch 1 to
the ON position. Re-insert the adjustment tool and EQ the
video signal. Use the diagram on the next page to locate
and view the location and settings of the Dip Switches.

DIP SWITCH LOCATION
Automatic Equalization
Dip Switch 2 can be used to turn on the automatic
equalization function. Use this setting for ease of setup as
this mode will automatically tune out unwanted video noise.
To do this, turn Dip Switch 2 to the ON position. No manual
adjustments to the EQ can be made in this mode using the
EQ Trim Pot on the front of the unit. Dip Switch 1 will not
have any effect in this mode. If video noise is still present in
automatic EQ mode, return to manual EQ mode by turning
Dip Switch 2 to the OFF position and manually tune the
signal using the instructions on the previous page.
