Frequently Asked Questions - EXT-DVIKA-HBT2 Gefen

What is the maximum distance I can extend video with the EXT-DVIKA-HBT2?

In Normal mode, 4K and 1080p signals can reach 330 ft (100 m) over CAT-5e. In Long-Reach mode (enabled via DIP switches), 1080p and WUXGA signals extend up to 495 ft (150 m).

How do I update the firmware of the EXT-DVIKA-HBT2?

Download and install the Gefen Syner-G Software Suite from www.gefen.com/synerg. Connect a USB cable from your computer to the Mini-B port on the Sender or Receiver, then use the Update tab in Syner-G to download and install the latest firmware.

What is Power Over HDBaseT (POH) and how does it work?

POH allows the Receiver unit to power the Sender unit over the CAT-5e link cable. Only the Receiver needs an external power supply; the Sender draws power from the Receiver via the link.

How do I configure EDID settings?

EDID management is done via DIP switches on the Sender unit (Switch 1: Local/Pass-Through mode, Switch 2: EDID Lock). Advanced management requires the Gefen Syner-G software, which allows downloading, uploading, copying, and viewing EDIDs.

Can I disable HDCP copy protection?

Yes, use DIP switch 3 on the Sender unit. Set to ON (HDCP Disable) to prevent HDCP content from being passed through. Note that this does not decrypt the content.

What types of audio can I use with this extender?

The extender supports 2-way analog L/R stereo audio. The Sender has an Audio In (from source) and Audio Out (to computer). The Receiver has an Audio In (line or mic level, selectable via switch) and Audio Out (to speakers).

How many USB devices can I connect to the Receiver?

The Receiver provides four USB Type-A ports for connecting keyboards, mice, or other USB peripherals. The Sender has one USB host interface for the computer.

What is Long-Reach Mode and when should I use it?

Long-Reach Mode optimizes the link for longer distances up to 495 ft (150 m) but limits resolution to 1920x1200 @ 60 Hz (8-bit). Enable it via DIP switch 4 on the Sender and DIP switch 1 on the Receiver.

How do I connect RS-232 devices?

Connect an RS-232 device to the DB-9 female port on the Receiver (or male on Sender). The extender passes through the RS-232 signals (TXD, RXD, GND) so you can control remote devices from the Sender side.

Can I rack-mount the EXT-DVIKA-HBT2 units?

Yes, each unit is 1U tall and half-rack-width. They can be mounted in a standard 19-inch rack using the optional Gefen EXT-RACK-1U rack tray (sold separately). Surface-mounting brackets are included.

HDBaseT ^TM Extender

w/ USB, RS-232, 2-way Audio, and POH

2 Basic Operation

The Link, Video, and Power LED indicators provides basic information on the current status of the this product.

The information, in the table below, applies to both the Sender and Receiver unit.

LED Status Description
Link	Solid green	The Sender / Receiver unit is powered.Link integrity between Sender and Receiver unit is good.
Video	Solid amber	HDCP content is detected
	Flashing amber	Non-HDCP content is detected.
Power	Solid blue	The Sender / Receiver unit is powered.

The DVI KVM HDBaseT™ Extender can accept either Mic or Line-level inputs on the Receiver unit. Use the Mic / Line switch to set the proper input level.

1. Locate the Mic / Line switch, next to the Audio In port, and set the switch to the desired audio input type. If connecting a microphone, then set the Mic / Line switch to the Mic position. Otherwise, set the switch to the Line position.
2. Connect the 3.5mm mini-stereo jack from the audio source to the Audio In port on the Receiver unit.

1. In order to get the audio from the Receiver unit to the computer, connect a 3.5mm mini-stereo cable from the Audio Out port on the Sender unit to the Line In jack on the computer.

Warning

If you are using a line-level input, DO NOT connect the cable to the "Mic In" port on the computer; doing so will result in audio "clipping" and may cause damage to the computer's sound card.

1. Connect another 3.5mm-to-3.5mm mini-stereo cable between the Audio Out jack on the computer and the Audio In jack on the Sender unit. Note that any audio device (e.g. MP3 player, etc.) can be connected to the Line In jack on the Sender unit.

2. Finally, we'll connect a set of powered computer speakers to the Audio Out jack on the Receiver unit.

In the diagram below, the USB devices have been removed from the Sender and Receiver unit, for purposes of clarity. Arrowheads indicate the audio signal path.
