The Gefen TV Wireless for HDMI
The GefenTV Wireless for HDMI Extender delivers a plug and play wireless
solution for HDMI sources placed up to 100 feet (30 meters) away. Hi-def
resolutions of up to 1080p/30 or 1080i/60 are supported with 5.1 digital audio and
additional L/R analog audio inputs. Broadcast mode allows extension of HDMI to
up to 256 wireless locations (without HDCP), while Unicast mode extends HDMI
to a single wireless location (with HDCP).
The GefenTV Wireless for HDMI Extender is a wireless solution for extending
any A/V sources utilizing HDMI such as satellite boxes, DVD players , and Blu-
Ray players to a remote display. The Wireless for HDMI will even penetrate
through walls and does not require line-of-sight alignment of the units.
How It Works
The GefenTV Wireless for HDMI Extender uses one sender and one or more
receiver units. A short cable connects the HDMI input of the sender unit to the
HDMI output of an HDMI source. At the display side, a short cable connects the
HDMI output of the receiver unit(s) to the HDMI input of the HDTV display(s).
The HDMI signal from the HDMI source travels to the HDMI display(s) over 5
GHz radio waves, and a vibrant and crisp High Definition picture emerges on the
HDTV display(s).
Note: Multichannel Audio: Compressed audio as well as analog audio are
formats supported depending on the capability of the input device. Please refer to
the Specifications section for further details.

How to Connect the Wireless for HDMI
1. Connect the source device to the Wireless for HDMI sender input using the
supplied HDMI cable. Use a DVI to HDMI cable/adapter when using a DVI
source device.
2. Connect the HDMI display to the Wireless for HDMI receiving device’s HDMI
output port using a user supplied HDMI cable. Use a HDMI to DVI cable/
adapter when using a DVI capable display.
3. Connect the stereo analog audio output on the Wireless for HDMI receiver
unit to the stereo analog audio inputs on either an external audio receiver or
the display using a user supplied 2 RCA stereo analog audio cable.
NOTE: This output will only be active when the audio carried along the HDMI
source is 2 channel LPCM.
4. Connect the included 5V DC power supplies to the Wireless for HDMI
sending and receiving units.
5. Power on the display first and the source devices second.
NOTE: The Wireless for HDMI will detect and link the sending and receiving
units together and will require no further configuration to begin video and audio
transmission.
Unicast and Broadcast Modes
Unicast Mode will only allow one receiver unit to be connected to one sender
unit at any given time. By default, the units will be configured for Unicast. In
Unicast Mode the power LED on both units will be GREEN. Both units must be
in the same mode for proper operation. Modes cannot be mixed.
Broadcast Mode will allow multiple receiver units (up to 256) to be connected
to one sender unit. In this mode, HDCP encrypted material is not usable. In
Broadcast Mode the power LED will be RED. To change modes--Unicast to
Broadcast or Broadcast to Unicast--please use the directions below.
1. With both sender and receiver units powered on, press and hold the Mode
button on the sender unit for approximately 10 seconds.
2. Release the Mode button. The front panel LED lights should turn off and
re-initialize in the new mode. The power LED will change colors depending
on what mode the unit has been switched to. If, after releasing the button,
the LED does not turn off, repeat steps one and two while holding the Mode
button down for a longer period of time.
3. Repeat the above steps, but with the receiver unit(s).
4. The units will re-establish a link and video transmission will begin.

USING THE VERTICAL STAND
1
2
3
A vertical stand is included for
placing the each main unit in an
upright position. Vertical orientation is
preferred because of the way that the
radio waves are transmitted/received.
Remove the main units and the
stands from the packaging.
Apply firm pressure until the units
snap together. Both the front and rear
sections of the main unit must click
into the stand . To remove the main
unit from the stand, simply pull the
main unit and stand apart.
WARNING: Placing the main units
into the stand in the improper direction
may result in damage to the main unit
and/or stand.
To place a main unit into a stand, first
orient the front of the stand (where
the logo is located) with the LED’s on
the front panel of the main unit. Lower
the unit into the stand. There are
channels located on both the main
unit and stand that will help guide the
main unit into the stand.
