INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of the DVI FMP. 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 FMP
The DVI-FMP Extender extends your DVI display up to 2000 feet away from your source, with only two
tiny transmitters and receivers required, using a 100% optical fiber solution. It’s a great way to extend
DVI video easily and unobtrusively.
How It Works
The DVI FM sender unit plugs into your computer. The DVI FM receiver unit plugs into your DVI display -
up to 2000 feet away. Multi mode LC fiber optic cable (4 strand) connect the DVI FMP and the DVI FMR
units to each other.
Breakthrough Auto-EDID programming technology quickly and easily collects and preserves monitor
resolution/capability information inside the DVI-FMP Sender, so that the computer properly syncs up
with the display at all times and “knows what it is connecting to” -- eliminating the necessity of an add-on
device such as Gefen’s DVI Detective.
All-fiber signal transmission media insures that the video signal possesses complete EMI
(electromagnetic interference) invulnerability.

CONNECTING AND OPERATING THE DVI FMP
How to Connect the DVI FMP
1. Plug the 5V power supply to the power input of the sender, and connect the power supply to the
nearest power outlet. Ensure that the blue LED is ON.
2. How to program the sender with the displays EDID:
A. Push the EDID button on the sender unit. The blue LED light will blink twice and then turn off.
B. Connect the powered sender to the display while turned on, and not to the PC. The LED will
blink several time to indicate that it is reading and recording the display’s EDID. The LED will
turn OFF after it blinks several time to indicate that the EDID has been programmed.
C. Disconnect the sender from the display and the LED should turn ON again.
Note: If you want to change the display, you will have to repeat step 2. The default EDID that is
programmed in the sender is the VESA standard of UXGA (1600x1200) 60Hz.
3. Plug the sender to the DVI input of the PC and confirm that the blue LED is ON. If it is not ON,
then connect 5V power supply to the power input of the sender.
Note: Be sure to NOT to use any other cable or adapter between them to avoid undesirable
performance and/or degradation.
Note: If you are using a laptop or Desktop PC with PCI Express graphic card, we recommend that you
power the sender by inserting the power supply on the sender.
