The GefenPRO Extender for HDMI ELR with PoL 2 over CAT5

The GetenPRO Extender for HDMI ELR PoL 2 over CAT5 does everything that the GefenPRO Extender for HDMI ELR with PoL over CAT5 does, but adds active source switching, with an additional Hi-Def input on the Receiver unit. This feature provides the capability to switch between the (remote) Hi-Def source connected to the Sender unit and a local source connected to the Receiver unit. It a new source is connected to the Receiver unit and turned on, the Receiver unit will automatically switch to the local input. The Receiver unit will revert to the remote input once the local device is turned off or disconnected. The Select button on the Receiver unit can be used to manually switch between the remote and local inputs. An optional IR Remote Control Unit (Gefen part no. RMT-2IR) can also be purchased to switch between the remote input and the local input on the Receiver unit. The GefenPRO Extender for HDMI ELR PoL 2 over CAT5 extends a Hi-Def source with multichannel digital audio at resolutions of up to 1080p Full HD to 330 feet (100 meters), using one CAT-5 cable.

The Extender for HDMI ELR PoL 2 over CAT5 extends Ethernet and provides an RS-232 and IR back channel to control A/V sources using the same CAT-5 cable extension. The built-in IR Blaster allows you to point the IR remote(s) at the display to control the Hi-Def sources as if they were located in the same room.

How It Works

The GefenPRO Extender for HDMI ELR PoL 2 over CAT5 Sender unit is located next to a set-top box or DVD player source. Use the supplied HDMI cable to connect an HDMI source to the Sender unit. The GefenPRO Extender for HDMI ELR PoL 2 over CAT5 Receiver unit is located up to 330 feet away, near the display. Connect the HDTV display and another Hi-Def source to the Receiver unit.

One CAT-5 cable connects the Sender and Receiver units to each other. The Ethernet ports on both the Sender and Receiver units are connected to standard network devices, such as 100Base-T routers and hubs. Multichannel digital audio is embedded in the HDMI signal (Dolby® TrueHD/ DTS-HD Master Audio™).

DIP switches located on the bottom of the SenderUnit.

DIP Switch 1 - Green Mode (Default = OFF)

• OFF - Enable Green Mode

When DIP switch 1 on the Sender Unit is set to the OFF position, the Sender Unit is placed in Green Mode. In this mode, the unit is not powered unless +5V is detected on pin 18 of the HDMI cable. Green Mode consumes less than 1 Watt of power.

• ON - Disable Green Mode

If DIP switch 1 is set to the ON position, then the Sender Unit is always powered.

Gefen GEF-HDCAT5-ELRPOL2 - DIP Switch 1 - Green Mode (Default = OFF) - 1

NOTE: Both the Sender Unit and Receiver Unit must be placed in Green Mode in order to use the Green Mode feature

Sender Unit

DIP Switch 2 - Field-Upgrade Mode (Default = OFF)

• ON - Enable Field Upgrade Mode (VALENS chip)

Allows the firmware to be upgraded on the Receiver unit. If DIP switch 6 and/or 7 are in the ON position, RS-232 cannot be extended. See page 15 for details on upgrading the firmware.

• OFF - RS-232 Pass-Through

Use when extending RS-232 between the Sender unit and the Receiver unit. DIP switch 6 and 7 must be set to the OFF position for normal operation of the Extender for HDMI ELR with PoL 2 over CAT5.

Receiver Unit

The Extender for HDMI ELR with Pol 2 over CAT5 contains eight DIP switches on the bottom of the Receiver Unit. Each of these DIP switch performs a different function.

Gefen GEF-HDCAT5-ELRPOL2 - Receiver Unit - 1

text_image DIP switches located on the bottom of the Receiver Unit.

DIP Switch 1 - EDID Mode (Default = OFF)

• ON - Pass-Through Mode

DDC and HPD are passed through. Both the connection status and the full video capabilities of the monitor are used by the source device.

CAT-5, CAT-5e, and CAT-6 cabling comes in stranded and solid core types. Gefen recommends using solid core cabling. CAT-6 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.

Cable recommendations

Solid core CAT-5e cable rated at 350 MHz and terminated in 568a or 568b is the minimum requirement. For resolutions greater than 1280x1024 or 1080i, Gefen recommends solid shielded CAT-6 cables.

No video

Make sure that DIP switch 2 on the Sender unit is set to the OFF position. Also make sure that both DIP switch 6 and 7 on the Receiver unit is set to the OFF position. If either of these DIP switches are in the ON position (External Boot Loader Enable, see page 14 and 17) then the Sender unit or Receiver unit will not function as an extender. Next, make sure that the CAT-5 cable, connecting the Sender unit and Receiver unit is connected to the LINK port. If this does not solve the issue, try disconnecting and then reconnecting the AC power cord from the Sender unit. Also, verify that both units are working with short CAT-5e cables (15 - 20 feet).

Intermittent loss of video

Flickering or a blinking image is the result of a loss of sync between the display and the source. Try lowering the source resolution (e.g. from 1080p to 720p). If this solves the issue, then the CAT-5 cables being used to connect the Sender unit and the Receiver unit are unable to handle the bandwidth of the higher resolution and thus you are losing sync. Replace the existing CAT-5 cables with a shielded CAT-6 cable. Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) from fluorescent lights, generators, and A/C unit motors can also cause intermittent loss of video. Shielded CAT-6 cable with the drain wire soldered to the connectors will resolve the issue. Also make sure to eliminate any patch panels and wall plates. Patch panels and wall plates are prone to EMI if they are not shielded properly

Image is tinted green or pink

An image that is tinted green or pink is the result of the incorrect color space being transmitted. Make sure that the display and source both support the same color space. Setting DIP switch 1 on the Receiver unit, to the OFF position, will use the Local EDID. 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.
