Local Area Network (LAN) Connection
When connecting the Sender and Receiver units to a Local Area Network (LAN), DHCP, static, or APIPA (Automatic Private IP Addressing) IP modes can be used. DHCP mode will use the DHCP server to automatically assign an IP address for each Sender and Receiver unit that is connected to the network. Static IP mode will allow the IP address for each Sender and Receiver unit to be configured manually. Contact your network administrator if necessary. APIAP mode assigns a class-B IP address, in the 169.254.x.x range, to the Sender and Receiver units, if a DHCP server is not available.
-
Connect a CAT-5e (or better) cable between the LAN (PoE) port on the Sender unit and a Gigabit PoE-enabled IP switch.
-
Connect LAN 2 (PoE) on the Receiver unit to the same network switch. Each cable run can be up to 330 feet (100 meters).
Sender unit
- If NOT USING A PoE-compliant switch, then connect the included 5V DC power supplies to the Sender and Receiver units.
Important
If the IP switch is PoE-compliant and the Sender and Receiver are connected through their PoE ports, external power supplies will not be required. However, additional Receivers or other devices connected to the LAN 1 port of a Receiver will require an external power supply.

Configuring Unicast Mode
The term unicast is used to describe a configuration where information is sent from one point to another point. It is possible to have multiple Sender and Receiver units connected in a system. However, in unicast mode a Sender unit can communicate with only one Receiver unit at a time. In unicast mode, the Gefen AV over IP products function similar to a KVM switcher.
Note
The Gefen AV over IP Sender and Receiver units are shipped from the factory in unicast mode.
The illustration, below, shows 3 Sender units (S1, S2, and S3) and 2 Receiver units (R1 and R2) on a network, operating in unicast mode. The video channels are notated in blue.

Important
When switching between unicast and multicast modes, both Sender and Receiver units must be set to the same mode.
Switching between Sender units in Unicast mode
When multiple Sender and Receiver unit are used in unicast mode, the Gefen AV over IP Sender and Receivers behave as a switcher. In unicast mode, a Sender unit can communicate with only one Receiver unit at a time.
In the example below, Receiver unit R1 will be switched to receive the source connected to Sender unit S1. To do this, simply change the video channel.

In this example, Receiver R1 will continue to receive audio/video data from Sender S1, even though Sender S2 is set to the same channel. The reason for this is because Receiver R1 and Sender S1 were already set to the same channel and communicating (as depicted in Figure 2.3). However, this scenario violates the unicast mode rule: A Sender unit can communicate with only one Receiver unit at a time.
When using unicast mode, each of the Sender units must be assigned a unique channel and should never be changed. Use the Receiver unit to switch (channels) between Sender units.
Note
In unicast mode, if an additional Sender unit is introduced into a system with the same channel as another Sender unit, then the Receiver unit will continue to receive audio/video data from the Sender unit which was connected first.
Configuring Multicast Mode
The term multicast is used to describe a configuration where information is sent from one or more points to a set of other points. For example, a single Sender unit can transmit data to multiple Receiver units. In addition, if multiple Sender units are used, each Sender unit can transmit data to any Receiver that is not already receiving data from another Sender unit. In multicast mode, the Senders and Receivers function similar to a KVM matrix.
The illustration, below, shows 3 Sender units (S1, S2, and S3) and 2 Receiver units (R1 and R2) on a network, operating in multicast mode. The video channels are shown in blue.

Active on link mode
Under Active on link mode, a maximum of four USB devices can be used within a system. In the diagram, on the previous page, the system is already using the maximum number of USB devices (2 USB devices per Receiver). If we had two more Receiver units (making a total of four Receiver units), we would only be able to connect one USB device to each Receiver unit. To switch to Active on link mode, follow the instruction below.
-
Access the Web interface for the Sender unit.
-
Login as "Administrator".
-
Click the Functions tab.
-
Locate the USB over IP group and make sure the Enable USB over IP box is checked. This is the default setting.
-
Click the Active on link radio button within the USB over IP group.
-
Click the Apply button within the USB over IP group.
-
The following message will be displayed, at the top of the page, indicating that the new Serial over IP options have been applied.
- Click the Reboot button at the bottom of the page. If the Reboot button is not clicked, the following message will be displayed, indicating that the unit must be rebooted.
- Repeat steps 2 - 8 for the Receiver unit.
Audio Connections
Audio works in both unicast and multicast modes. The only difference between the two modes is that the Line In port is automatically disabled, on all Receiver units, in multicast mode. To illustrate how audio works with the Gefen AV over IP Senders and Receivers, we will set up a microphone and some speakers.
- Connect a 3.5mm mini-stereo cable from the Line In port on the Sender unit to the Line Out port on the computer.
Note
On HDMI and DisplayPort™ Senders, when a cable is connected to the Line In port on the Sender unit, it takes priority over and replaces the audio from the video input. The audio will be heard on the HDMI or DisplayPort™ Out, Line Out, and Opt Out ports on the Receiver unit.
- Connect another 3.5mm mini-stereo cable to from the Line Out port on the Sender unit to the Line In port on the computer.
- Connect a 3.5mm mini-stereo cable from the Mic In port on the Receiver to the output of a microphone pre-amp or other "Line Level" audio source.
Important
Some microphones may require a pre-amp connected inline to be compatible. Alternately, you can use a USB mic connected to one of the USB 2.0 ports on the Receiver.
-
Connect the Line Out port to powered speakers or a pair of headphones.
-
Connect a Gefen CAB-TLINK-6MM TOSLINK cable from the Opt Out port to the Optical Digital Input of an AV receiver or amplifier.
Receiver unit
In the diagram below, the mouse and keyboard USB devices have been removed from Sender unit S2 and Receiver unit R2, for purposes of clarity. Arrowheads indicate the audio signal path.

Audio Sources and De-Embedding
The following outlines the audio de-embedding functionality of this product.
If a 3.5mm mini-stereo cable is connected to the Line In port on the HDMI or DisplayPort™ Sender unit, then the HDMI or DisplayPort™ audio will be disabled on the Receiver unit. The Line Out port, on the Receiver unit, will output audio from the source connected to the Line In port on the Sender unit.
When a source is connected to the Line In port on the Sender unit, the audio will be heard on the HDMI Out or DisplayPort™ Out, Line Out, Opt Out, and Coax Out ports.
- The Line In port on the Receiver unit will only pass audio to the Line Out port on the Sender unit when in unicast mode.
- The Opt Out port will de-embed both 2-channel PCM and Bitstream (up to 5.1 channel) audio from the HDMI In or DisplayPort™ In port. High-resolution (lossless) audio will not be outputted.
- HDMI or DisplayPort™ source audio, from the Sender unit, will pass to the HDMI Out or DisplayPort™ Out and Opt Out ports on the Receiver unit. HDMI or DisplayPort™ audio will not be converted or down-mixed on the Line Out port on the Receiver unit.
Creating Video Walls
The web interface facilitates the creation of video walls up to 16 horizontal and 16 vertical displays. Video walls may contain any number or rows and columns and any combination of these can be enabled, as necessary.
Wall Size and Layout
- Access the Web interface for the Receiver unit.
- Login as "Administrator" or "User".
- Make sure that the Enable Video Wall option is enabled under the Functions tab of the Sender unit, then click the Video Wall tab. Click the Apply button.
- Under Bezel and Gap Compensation, specify the Outside Width (OW), Outside Height (OH), Video Width (VW), and Video Height (VH) fields.
- Under the Wall Size and Position Layout window group, click the drop-down lists for the Vertical Monitor Count and Horizontal Monitor Count and select the number of rows and columns of displays, respectively.
- Select the row and column positions using the Row Position and Column Position dropdown lists. Both row and column positions begin with a reference value of zero.
- Click the drop-down list, next to the Apply button, to select the desired host or client to which these settings will be applied.
If the All option is selected, then all parameters will be transferred to all Receiver units. For monitor count and bezel compensation in a video wall array of matching displays, this is fine, but the row and position will also be copied. There is an option for "This" unit that will apply to the current unit being interfaced with. The "This" option can be used to precisely set the proper position of each unit but would require the user to access the web interface of each unit to set. Alternatively, the drop-down will provide a list of all connected host (Sender units) and clients (Receiver units). This process allows the configuration of an entire video wall from a single unit.
Bezel Compensation
Display devices have a region where video data is not displayed. This area is called the bezel. Bezel compensation takes this area into account when a single video source is mapped across multiple displays. It is recommended, when a video wall is set up for the first time, that bezel compensation values be set to zero. Bezel compensation can be adjusted at any time.
The illustration on the left shows a 2x2 video wall without bezel compensation. Note how the circle is stretched, slightly, horizontally. On the right, bezel compensation is used to correct the “distorted” image.
