Frequently Asked Questions - GTB-HDBT-POL-BLK Gefen

What is the maximum video resolution supported by the Gefen GTB-HDBT-POL-BLK extender?

The extender supports 4K UHD up to 3840x2160 at 60Hz with 4:4:4 chroma subsampling, as well as 1080p Full HD.

How far can I transmit the signal with the GTB-HDBT-POL-BLK?

You can transmit video and audio up to 100 meters (328 feet) using a single Cat5e or Cat6 cable.

Does the extender require power at both ends?

No, only one unit needs to be powered. The GTB-HDBT-POL-BLK supports Power over Cable (PoC), so the powered unit can supply power to the remote unit via the same Cat cable.

Which HDMI version is supported?

It is compatible with HDMI 2.0 and supports HDCP 2.2 for 4K content protection.

Can I control my source or display remotely?

Yes, the extender supports pass-through of IR control signals (via 3.5mm jack) and RS-232 for bidirectional serial communication.

What type of Ethernet cable is recommended?

For best performance, use solid-core Cat6 or higher. Shielded cable is recommended in electrically noisy environments.

Does it support audio return channel (ARC)?

No, this extender does not support ARC or eARC. It is a unidirectional HDMI transmission solution from source to display.

How do I set up the EDID?

The extender has built-in EDID management with automatic learning and emulation. You can also manually set EDID if needed via dip switches or software (refer to manual).

Is the device wall-mountable?

Yes, the GTB-HDBT-POL-BLK comes with mounting brackets for wall attachment, or it can be placed on a desktop.

What should I do if there is no video output?

First, check that both units are powered and the LEDs are lit. Verify the HDMI cable is fully inserted and the Cat cable is properly terminated. If using PoC, ensure only one power supply is connected. Try resetting the EDID or using a different HDMI source.

The GefenToolBox Extender for HDMI w/POL

The GefenToolBox Extender for HDMI with POL extends HDMI up to 230 feet (70 meters) using one CAT-6 cable or up to 198ft (60m) using one CAT-5e. Resolutions up to 1080p Full HD with multichannel digital audio are supported. This product provides Bi-Directional IR extension between the Sender and the Receiver unit, allowing the transfer of IR commands from one remote location to the other. Bi-Directional IR can be used to control A/V sources placed near the Sender unit and to send IR automation commands to devices placed near the Receiver unit. Gefen POL (Power Over Line) technology powers the Receiver unit using the same CAT-5e or CAT-6 cable that extends the HDMI signal from the Sender unit. This feature eliminates the need for an external power supply at the Receiver unit which helps simplify installation.

How It Works

Connect the Sender unit to the Hi-Def source using an HDMI cable. Use another HDMI cable to connect the Receiver unit to the HDTV display. Connect a single CAT-6 cable up to 230 feet (70 meters) or CAT-5e cable up to 198ft (60m) between the Sender and Receiver units. Connect the included 24V DC power supply to the Sender unit and plug the power supply in to an available electrical outlet. Power to the Receiver unit is delivered from the Sender unit over the CAT-5e/6 cable using Gefen POL technology.

To control the Hi-Def source from the display location, connect the IR Extender (Gefen part no. EXT-RMT-EXTIRC) to the Ext IR connector on the Receiver unit. Connect the IR emitter (Gefen part no. GTB-IREMIT) to the IROut of the Sender unit and place the IR emitter over the IR sensor of the Hi-Def source. Point the IR remote at the IR Extender to control the Hi-Def source.

For IR control of a device placed near the Receiver unit (such as the display), connect the IR output from an automation device (such as the Gefen PACS or Mini PACS) to the IR In connector on the Sender unit. Connect the IR emitter (Gefen part no. GTB-IREMIT) to the IR Out on the Receiver unit and attach the IR emitter to the IR sensor of the display.

READ THESE NOTES BEFORE INSTALLING OR OPERATING THE EXTENDER FOR HDMI W/POL

• CAT-5e or CAT-6 cables should not exceed 230 feet (70 meters).
- Shielded (STP) CAT-5 or CAT-6 is recommended. However, unshielded (UTP) CAT-5 or CAT-6 is acceptable, depending on cable quality, but is not the top choice. Care should always be given to keep these cables away from power lines and other electromagnetic interference sources.

NOTE: Shielded cable has an advantage by providing immunity to Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) from cell phones and A/C motors.

• POL (Power Over Line) technology from Gefen sends power to the Receiver uni over the same CAT-5e/6 cable that is used for extending the HDMI signal.
• HDBaseT® technology allows HDMI, IR (Bi-directional), and power to be sent on one CAT-5e/6 cable.

CONNECTING AND OPERATING THE EXTENDER FOR HDMI W/POL

How to Connect the Bi-Directional IR

Bi-Directional IR

The Bi-Directional IR feature allows two simultaneous methods of control: Control of the source device and control of the display.

The source device can be controlled from the viewing location by connecting an IR Extender (Gefen part no. EXT-RMT-EXTIRC) to the Receiver unit.

The display can be controlled from the source location by connecting a PACS / Mini PACS to the Sender unit.

Controlling the Source

In the example below, we will be setting up IR control for the source from the display location. The following illustrations assume all A/V devices have already been connected. See page 8 for details.

1. For IR control of a source, connect the IR extender to the IR Ext jack on the Receiver unit. A CAT-5e/CAT-6 cable should already be connected from the Link jack on the Receiver to the Link jack on the Sender unit.

1. Connect an IR emitter from the IR Out jack on the Sender unit to the IR sensor window of the source device to be controlled

CONNECTING AND OPERATING THE EXTENDER FOR HDMI W/POL

1. To control the source from the display location, point the included IR remote control at the IR Extender connected to the Receiver unit. The IR signals are transmitted from the Receiver to the Sender unit over the CAT-5e/CAT-6 cable.

Sender Unit

1. Connect an IR emitter from the IR Out jack on the Receiver unit to the IR sensor window of the HDTV display to be controlled.

CONNECTING AND OPERATING THE EXTENDER FOR HDMI W/POL

1. To control the display from the source location, point the included IR remote control at the PACS or MIni PACS connected to the Sender unit. The IR signals are transmitted from the Sender to the Receiver unit over the CAT-5e/CAT-6a cable.

Refer to the PACS or Mini PACS User Manual for more information on using IR commands.

CAT-5, CAT-5e, and CAT-6 cabling comes in stranded and solid core types. Gefen recommends using solid core cabling. CAT-6a cable is also recommended.

It is recommended to use one continuous run from one end to the other. In some cases, connecting through a patch might not work.

The GefenToolbox Extender for HDMI w/POL should be mounted vertically on a wall or inside / outside a cabinet with wood / drywall screws as shown in the diagram above. There should be an inch or two of clearance between the edges of the unit and any walls or vertical surfaces to allow for enough clearance for connection and disconnection of the HDMI cable.

For installation on a drywall surface, use a #6 drywall screw. When installing, it is recommended to use the center hole on a stud.
