Congratulations on your purchase of the Gefen 2x DVIKVM Extender. Your complete satisfaction is very important to us.

Gefen

Gefen delivers innovative, progressive computer and electronics add-on solutions that harness integration, extension, distribution and conversion technologies. Gefen's reliable, plug-and-play products supplement cross-platform computer systems, professional audio/video environments and HDTV systems of all sizes with hard-working solutions that are easy to install and simple to operate.

The Gefen 2x DVIKVM Extender

The 2x DVIKVM Extender extends any two DVI sources and USB to two monitors, touch screen displays, or digital signage applications up to 330 feet (100 meters), using two CAT-5e cables. USB 2.0 data rates up to 100 Mbps are supported in addition to backward-compatibility with USB 1.1. The Receiver unit allows the connections of up to three USB devices, providing access to printers, scanners, cameras, external storage media, digital signage, and automated control systems. This product uses Geten ELR technology, allowing DVI and USB signals to travel along the same CAT-5e cables, reducing cabling costs and providing easier installation.

How It Works

Place the 2x DVIKVM Extender Sender unit next to the DVI sources. Use the included DVI cables to connect the DVI sources to the Sender unit. Use the supplied USB cable to connect the USB host (source) device to the USB port on the Sender unit. Connect the Receiver unit to the displays with DVI cables. Connect the USB devices to the Receiver unit. Use two CAT-5e cables, each up to 330 feet (100 meters), to connect the Sender to the Receiver unit. Connect the included locking power supplies to the Sender and Receiver units and plug both power cords into available electrical outlets.

PLEASE READ THESE NOTES BEFORE INSTALLING OR OPERATING THE 2X DVIKVM EXTENDER

• Cat-5 or Cat-6 cables should not exceed 330 feet (100 meters).

- Shielded (STP) Cat-5 or Cat-6 is recommended. However, un-shielded (UTP) Cat-5 or Cat-6 is acceptable.

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

- The Gefen 2x DVIKVM Extender features the ability to generate compatible EDID and Hot Plug signals when working with different brands of source devices and monitors.

- This product supports HD CP with HDMI sources.

- Dual-link resolutions are not supported.

How to Connect the 2x DVIKVM Extender

1. Connect the included dual-link DVI cables between the DVI outputs on the computer and the DVI input connectors on the 2x DVIKVM Extender Sender unit.
2. Connect the included USB cable from the computer to the 2x DVIKVM Extender Sender unit
3. Connect up to three USB devices to the 2x DVIKVM Extender Receiver unit
4. Connect two CAT-5 cables between the 2x DVIKVM Extender Sender and Receiver units. Note that each connector on the Sender and Receiver unit is identified by Link 1 and Link 2. When connecting the CAT-5 cables, make sure that the connectors on the Sender unit are connected to the corresponding connectors on the Receiver unit (e.g. Link 1 --> Link 1 and Link 2 -> Link 2).

NOTE: It terminating network cables in the field, please adhere to the TIA/EIA568B specification (see page 11).

1. Use two DVI cables to connect two displays to the Receiver unit.
2. Connect the included 5V DC locking power supplies to the 2x DVIKVM Extender Sender unit and Receiver unit. Do not overtighten the locking connectors. Plug the two (2) AC power cords from the power supplies to available electrical outlets.

Receiver Unit

The Gefen 2x DVIKVM Extender contains two banks of two DIP switches on the bottom of the Receiver Unit (the Sender Unit does not contain any DIP switches). Each DIP switch performs a different function. Each DIP switch bank controls the settings for each DVI input.

Two DIP switches located on the bottom of the Receiver Unit. SW1 P8

DIP Switch 1 - EDID Management

- OFF - Local EDID

When Local EDID mode is used, the EDID will be assembled by copying all video and audio features of the connected output device.

• ON (default) - Pass Through EDID

Allows all video and audio features of the connected devices to be passed to the source device. By default, the unit is shipped with DIP 1 in the ON position.

DIP Switch 2\* - DVI Support

• OFF

If an HDMI source is connected, set DIP switch 2 to the OFF position.

• ON(default)

For DVI connections, set DIP switch 2 to the ON position. DVI is supported by disabling HDC P pass-through.

*DIP switch is only functional when DIP switch 1 is set to the OFF position.

NOTE: Once DIP switch changes have been made, the unit must be power-cycledt or the changes to take effect.

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

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

Pack mount ears are provided for installation of this unit into a 1U rack mount space.

1. Locate the side screws on the unit.
2. Remove the front 2 screws that are located closest to the front of the unit.
3. Using the removed screws, screw the rack mounting bracket into the unit.
4. Repeat the procedure on the opposite side of the unit

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 the source is not a dual-link source (resolutions greater than 1920 x 1200). If using a DVI, the source signal must not be HDCP-encrypted. Make sure that DIP switch 2 on the Receiver Unit is set to the ON position. The 2x DVIKVM Extender will only pass HDCP content when using HDMI sources. If this does not resolve the issue, then make sure that the display (sink) is compatible with the source. Ensure that the resolution and timing of the source device can be used with the display (or other sink) connected to the Receiver Unit. Next, make sure that the Cat-5 cable, connecting the Sender Unit and Receiver Unit is firmly connected to the LINK ports on both units. If this does not solve the issue, try disconnecting and then reconnecting the power from both the Sender Unit and the Receiver Unit. Make sure that both units work with shorter Cat-5e cables (15 - 20 feet) before extending to greater distances.

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.
