INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your purchase of the HDMI 1.3 Over Fiber with IR. 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.
HDMI 1.3 Over Fiber with IR
The Gefen HDMI 1.3 Over Fiber with IR system extends Full 1080p HD deep
color with multichannel digital audio over a single small strand of fiber optic
cable that can easily be hidden in a wall or above a ceiling. Great distances of
extension can be obtained thanks to the use of fiber optic cable.
1080p Full HD deep color is displayed at the destination with no signal delays
and no EMI (electromagnetic interference) disturbances such as cut-outs and
pixilation, phenomena that can happen often with copper cables, especially at
long distances. Multichannel digital audio with Dolby TrueHD & DTS Master
Audio helps to deliver a full HD audio/video home theater experience wherever
it is needed. The IR back channel and RS-232C is carried on the CAT5 cable,
providing convenient, local control of video source devices.
How It Works
Install the Sender near your High Definition source and the Receiver at the
Display side. Connect HDMI cables from the Sender to your source and from
Display to Receiver. Run a single strand of SC fiber optic cable from Sender to
Receiver for AV signals, then run a single CAT5 cable from Sender to Receiver
for the IR back channel. Plug in the power supplies on the Sender and Receiver,
and crisp vibrant HDMI 1.3 video will appear on the Display. IR commands
from the remote control to video source equipment are sent across the IR back
channel via the CAT5 cable which connects the Sender and Receiver at their
RJ45 jacks. RS-232C is extended as well for devices that can be controlled via
this protocol at the viewing location.

OPERATION NOTES
READ THESE NOTES BEFORE INSTALLING OR
OPERATING THE HDMI 1.3 OVER FIBER WITH IR
• Use one SC terminated multi-mode fiber optic cable and one industry
standard CAT-5, CAT-5e or CAT-6 cables to operate the HDMI 1.3 Over
Fiber with IR. Gefen recommends CAT-6 cabling for maximum performance.
• For 1080p video, maximum extension is 1000 feet (330 meters).
• IR repeater functionality is only from the receiving unit to the sending unit. IR
data cannot be transmitted from the sending unit to the receiving unit.
• The RS-232C protocol is used for remote control of A/V devices at the
extended display device location. The full RS-232 protocol is not supported
for this purpose.

CONNECTING AND OPERATING THE HDMI 1.3 Over Fiber with IR
1. Connect the HDMI source to the HDMI 1.3 Over Fiber with IR sending unit’s
HDMI input port using the supplied HDMI cable.
2. Connect the RS-232 source to the HDMI 1.3 Over Fiber with IR sending unit’s
RS-232 input port using the supplied DB-9 serial cable.
3. For IR repeater functionality, please connect the IR emitter’s mini-jack (sold
separately, part # EXT-2IREMIT) into the HDMI 1.3 Over Fiber with IR
sending unit. Place the IR emitter directly on or above the IR receiver of the
desired source device.
4. Connect the HDMI 1.3 Over Fiber with IR sending and receiving units
together using one user supplied SC terminated multi-mode fiber optic cable
and one CAT-5, CAT-5e or CAT-6 cable.
NOTE: If field terminating network cable, please adhere to the TIA/EIA568B
specification. Please see page 7 for more information.
5. Connect the display to the HDMI output port of the HDMI 1.3 Over Fiber with
IR receiving unit using a user supplied HDMI cable.
6. Connect the RS-232 device to the RS-232 output port of the HDMI 1.3 Over
Fiber with IR receiving unit using a user supplied DB-9 serial cable.
7. Plug the included 5V DC power supplies into the HDMI 1.3 Over Fiber with
IR sending and receiving units.
8. Power on the display device first and the source device second. You will
now have beautiful HDMI 1.3 video at resolutions of up to 1080p60 on your
display device with up to 8 channels of advanced digital HDMI 1.3 audio
present.
9. IR commands aimed at the Receiver unit will be intercepted and transmitted
back to the Sender unit over the CAT-5 cable. The optional IR Blaster will
rebroadcast IR command signals to the source equipment, simulating the
local presence of the IR remote control. You will now be able to operate your
HDMI source as though you are physically in front of it, while enjoying the
convenience of a far away viewing location.

Gefen has specifically engineered their products to work with the TIA/EIA-568-B
specification. Please adhere to the table below when field terminating cable for
use with Gefen products. Failure to do so may produce unexpected results and
reduced performance.
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
for best results.
Each cable run must be one continuous run from one end to the other. No splices
or use of punch down blocks.
