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 congured 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 Conguration (page 14) for information on all DIP switches.
