Operating Notes

- When using the 5x1 Scaler for the first time, it is recommended that the unit be configured using the web interface. Firmware update is handled through Gefen Syner-G Software Suite. Download the application at: http://www.gefen.com/synerg/

  • It is recommended that a power cycle be performed after upgrading firmware on this product.
  • This manual has been written and is based on firmware version 3.57.
  • This product supports 2 Channels of LPCM audio only.

  • This product will accept full bandwidth 4K Ultra HD (3840 x 2160 @ 60 Hz 4:4:4) from the HDMI and DisplayPort™ inputs, however due to bandwidth limitations over the HDBaseT™ link the output resolution can be scaled to a maximum of 3840 x 2160 @ 30 Hz 4:4:4.

  • Automatic switching is not available for the VGA input when set to composite or component video modes.
  • The HDBaseT™ link is not active when the unit is in standby mode. This means that the unit cannot be powered on with the IR remote control from the IR input on a remote HDBaseT™ Receiver unit. The IR remote control is fully functional when communicating directly with the main unit.

- CEC is only supported on the local HDMI output.

- This unit is compatible with the EXTUHDA-HBTL-RX HDBaseT™ receiver available from Gefen (Sold separately)

Follow channel and polarity markings shown on the scaler's back panel. Any of these 5 audio inputs can be linked to any of the 5 video sources and embedded into the HDMI and HDBaseT™ outputs.
  3. Connect a balanced or unbalanced single channel audio source, a microphone with 48V Phantom Power or a non-powered microphone to the Bal-In 3-pin Phoenix connector. Follow ground and polarity markings shown on the scaler's back panel. Be sure to set the 3-position slide switch located to the right of the connector for the correct operation mode, 48V Mic, (Non-Powered) Mic or Line.
  4. Switch between the five inputs by pressing and releasing one of the input buttons on the front panel (marked 1 thru 5). The button for the selected input will illuminate. To activate Auto-Switching, press and hold the Auto button for 3 seconds or longer until it illuminates. To deactivate, press and hold the Auto button again for 3 seconds or longer. Press and release the Power button to turn the unit On or Off.
  5. Connect a Gefen HDMI cable between the HDMI Out port of the 5x1 Receiver and a display monitor.
  6. If extending AV to a remote display using HDBaseT™, use a CAT-5e cable (shielded CAT-6A preferred) up to the maximum recommended length for resolution/timing and color depth and connect between the HDBaseT™ Out port and the HDBaseT™ In port on the optional Receiver.

CAT-5 / RS-232 / Input Control

  1. The RS-232 port can be used to control the scaler and to extend 2-way RS-232 communications between the unit and the optional Receiver over the HDBaseT™ cable. The remote display can be controlled from the source side by an RS-232 control device, or the Scaler and a connected source can be controlled from the remote location. To connect an RS-232 device to the Scaler, remove the 3-pin Phoenix plug that came attached to the unit. Wire Tx, Ground and Rx from an RS-232-enabled device to the connector, and plug it back into the Scaler. To ensure proper operation, follow the pin-out of the connector as printed on the unit's enclosure.
  2. The Input Control contact-closure port can be used with up to 5 momentary switches. Each press and release of the button switches to the assigned input. Each switch can be connected between the C and the designated connection for each of the 5 inputs.

IR / Audio / IP / Power

  1. The IR In/Ext port facilitates IR control of the unit and extends IR from the source side to the viewing location. Connect a Gefen EXT-RMT-EXTIRN IR Extender module (available separately) or the IR output of a third-party controller to the IR In/Ext port. If using an HDBaseT Receiver, connect a Gefen EXT-IREMIT IR Emitter (sold separately) to the IR Out port of the Receiver and attach it to the IR sensor window of the device to be controlled.
  2. If using an HDBaseT™ Receiver, IR can also be extended from the remote end to the Scaler side to control the scaler as well as a source. Connect a Gefen EXT-IREMIT IR Emitter (sold separately) to the IR Out port and attach it to the IR sensor window of the device to be controlled. Connect a Gefen EXT-RMT-EXTIRN IR Extender or the IR output of a third-party controller to the IR In/Ext port of the Receiver.

Installation and Basic Operation

  1. To use de-embedded audio from the HDMI output with an outboard audio amplifier, wire the Audio Out of the 5x1 Scaler to your amplifier.
  2. To use the built-in Web Server, Telnet or UDP to control the scaler, connect an Ethernet cable from your Local Area Network (LAN) to the IP Control port. Use the Gefen Syner-G™ software to discover and configure IP settings. The default IP address is 192.168.1.72, and the password is 'admin' for the Administrator account.
  3. To provide power to the Scaler and the HDBaseT™ Receiver (through the link cable), connect the Scaler's power supply to its 12V DC jack and to an available electrical outlet. The Receiver can also be powered locally, but it cannot power the Scaler.
  4. The IR remote can be used at the Scaler side or remotely at the Receiver end. It provides access to Main Volume and Microphone Level controls and the intuitive On Screen Display (OSD).

Multi-Format 5x1 Scaler

02 Basic Operation

EXT-4K600A-MF-51-HBTLS

4K Ultra HD 600 MHz Multi-Format 5x1 Scaler w/ Auto-Switching & Split HDMI & HDBaseT™ Outputs

Auto-Switch 4K Ultra HD 600 MHz HDMI, DisplayPort™ 1.2 and VGA. Scale and extend up to 70 meters/230 feet, over a single CAT-5.

The EXT-4K600A-MF-51-HBTLS is a 5x1 Presentation Switcher with three 4K 600 MHz HDMI, one DisplayPort™ 1.2, one VGA, five independently assignable stereo analog audio and one balanced/unbalanced microphone/line input.

The latter features switchable 48V Phantom Power and Ducking. The five video inputs, along with their embedded or assigned audio, can be switched automatically or manually. Control options include the front panel, hand-held IR remote with On-Screen-Display, electrical IR, RS-232, IP Control interface, web server interface and contact closure.

The split HDMI and HDBaseT ^™ outputs feature a scaler, configurable to 3840 x 2160, 30 Hz, 4:4:4. They feed a local and a remote display simultaneously, adding flexibility in larger presentation environments. The Switcher and its recommended Receiver [the EXT-UHDA-HBTL-RX, (sold separately)] use Gefen's implementation of the HDBaseT ^™ technology to extend the HDMI output of the Switcher up to 230 feet/70 meters at 1080p Full HD and up to 130 feet/40 meters at 4K, using one CAT-5e or better cable.

The HDMI and DisplayPort™ inputs support resolutions up to 4K DCI (4096 x 2160) 60 Hz 4:4:4, with HDCP 2.2 and 1.4. The HDMI input and output, and the HDBaseT™ output support 2 channels of LPCM digital audio. The VGA input supports resolutions up to WUXGA (1920 x 1200) and 1080p Full HD.

When used with third-party adaptors, the VGA input also supports Component (YPbPr) and Composite video. The Switcher features an analog L/R audio de-embedder. The optional Receiver also features analog and digital audio (optical and coaxial) outputs. Any or all audio outputs can be connected to sound-reinforcement systems at the source side or the remote end, adding impact and presence to AV presentations.

The 5x1 Switcher features Advanced EDID Management to ensure that sources are optimized for the displays in use. The Switcher, when used with the optional HDBaseT™ Receiver, provides 2-way RS-232 and IR extension. This facilitates the control of the Switcher, AV sources placed near the Switcher and the remote display or another device placed near the Receiver unit.

Industry-standard Power-Over-HDBaseT™ (POH) technology provides power from the Switcher to the Receiver over the same cable that extends the AV signal. The Switcher features an integrated IR Sensor on its front panel, as well as an electrical IR input.

If the switcher is mounted in a location where its IR sensor is not within line of sight, a Gefen EXT-RMT-EXTIRN IR Extender Module or a third-party controller with electrical IR output can be connected to the IR input on its back panel.

The 5x1 Switcher features a compact form-factor that can be placed on a shelf or securely mounted on or under a surface. The optional Receiver's small, ultra-low-profile enclosure can be securely surface-mounted and conveniently hidden away from sight in the equipment closet or behind the display. Locking HDMI ports on the Switcher and locking power jacks on both units ensure long-lasting and reliable connections.

NOTE: Shielded (STP) CAT-5e (or better) cable is recommended. An unshielded (UTP) CAT-5e (or better) cable may be acceptable depending on cable quality, but isn't the preferred choice. Care should always be given to keep these cables away from power lines and other sources of electromagnetic interference.

  1. Make sure the included 12V DC power supply is connected from the Multi-Format Scaler to an available electrical outlet.
  2. Press and release the Power button on the front panel.
  3. The power button will illuminate blue.

Illuminated orange are the current Video and Audio Inputs in use. Click on desired Video or Audio input to make changes.

With Auto Switch enabled, the scaler will automatically switch the input when it detects a new input source. The Auto Switch function uses an Auto Switch Fallback feature to scan for the active input source starting from HDMI 1.

For example: All 3 HDMI ports are connected and the input is set to HDMI 2. If you unplug or turn off HDMI 2, it will first switch to HDMI 1 since an HDMI 1 signal is present. If not, it will switch to HDMI 3 if a signal is present.

This occurs only if the current source is turned off.

The No Audio button is a pseudo audio input that offers no audio, but it's separate from mute.
