to 330 feet (100 meters) from any Hi-Def source using one CAT-5 cable. This
product also provides an IR backchannel to control AV sources using the same
CAT-5 cable extension. Using this remote IR back-channel with an optional IR
Blaster, you can point to any one of the of the AV device sources, by pointing
towards the IR sensor to control Hi-Def sources as if they were located in the
same room or proximity to the display.
How It Works
Connect the GefenToolbox Extender for HDMI 3DTV sender unit to the 3D Hi-Def
source using the supplied HDMI cable. Connect the receiver unit to the 3DTV
Display. Use a single CAT-5 cable, up to 330 feet (100 meters) in length, to
connect the sender and the receiver units. Connect the locking power supplies
to both sender and receiver units and apply power to the 3D Hi-Def source and
3DTV Display. 3D content can now be displayed on the 3DTV Display along with
audio embedded in the HDMI signal.

READ THESE NOTES BEFORE INSTALLING OR
OPERATING THE EXTENDER FOR HDMI 3DTV
• CAT-5 or CAT-6 cables should not exceed 330 feet (100 meters).
• Shielded (STP) CAT-5 or CAT-6 is recommended. However, unshielded
(UTP) CAT-5 or CAT-6 is acceptable.
• NOTE: Shielded cable has an advantage by providing immunity to
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) from cell phones and A/C motors.
• The Extender for HDMI 3DTV features the ability to generate compatible
EDID and Hot Plug signals for troubleshooting purposes when dealing with
difficult interfacing issues between Source devices and Displays. See the
section on pages 9 - 10 for troubleshooting purposes.
• HDCP content is not supported when the unit is in DVI mode. See page 10
for details.

the receiver unit next to the display. Connect the Hi-Def source to the sender
with the provided locking HDMI cable. Connect the HDTV display to the
receiver unit with an HDMI cable.
2. Connect the sender and receiver units together using a single user-supplied
CAT-5e or CAT-6 cables.
NOTE: If terminating network cables in the field, please adhere to the TIA/
EIA568B specification (please see page 11).
3. Connect a 5V DC locking power supplies to the sender unit. Connect a 5V
DC locking power supply to the receiver unit. Do not overtighten the locking
connectors. Plug the two power supplies to an available wall outlet. The
LED on both the Sender and Receiver will turn bright red, indicating that
both units are powered.
4. Power on the HDTV display and the Hi-Def source. A vibrant HDTV HD

DIP Switch Location
On the bottom of the Extender for HDMI 3DTV Receiver unit there are four (4)
DIP switches.
The DIP switches allow advanced EDID management of the Extender for HDMI
3DTV which may be necessary when troubleshooting or using different brands of
hardware. The DIP switches allow control over the EDID and the HPD (Hot Plug
Detect) status.

DIP SWITCH CONFIGURATION
DIP 1 - EDID Mode
ON (default) - External EDID Mode
• DDC and HPD are passed through. Both the connection status and the full
A/V capabilities of the display. The HPD status will also be detected by the
source device.
OFF - Internal EDID Mode
• Local EDID is used instead of the EDID from the display device. EDID
features newer than HDMI 1.3 are removed when the display is read. This
provides a general EDID which is compatible with more displays.
DIP 2 - Hot-Plug Detect
DIP switch 2 only works when DIP switch 1 is set to the OFF position.
ON - HPD Pass-Through
• HPD follows upstream HPD towards the source. The HPD signal will reflect
the connection status between the display device and the source device. If
the source or display is temporarily disconnected then reconnected, there
will be a delay of 20 - 30 seconds before the A/V content is restored to the
display.
OFF (default) - HPD Always High
• The HPD signal remains high regardless of the downstream HPD state. If
the source or display device does not properly handle HPD (no picture after
connecting / reconnecting source or display), set this DIP switch to the OFF
position.
DIP 3 - Supports DVI Connections
ON
• Set DIP switch 3 to the ON position when using a DVI source or display.
HDCP content is not supported in this mode.
OFF (default)
• If HDMI is connected, set DIP 3 in the OFF position.
