User manual

The Gefen DVI•1500 allows a single link video signal to be extended over long
distances by using a multimode with LC termination. Fiber Optics technology
allows the DVI•1500 to carry video signals over long distances that would not be
possible with traditional CAT5 extension. The use of fi ber optic cabling protects
the video signal from electromagnetic interference (EMI) which can degrade the
video signal.
How It Works
The DVI•1500S sender unit sits next to your computer, set-top box or DVD player
source. Cables supplied with the DVI•1500 connect your DVI source to the send
unit. The DVI•1500R receive unit sits next to your DVI display - up to 1640 feet
(330 feet with HDCP) away. The display plugs into the back of the DVI•1500R
receiver unit. One CAT-5 cable and a multimode LC-LC fi ber optic cable (4
strand) connect the DVI•1500S and the DVI•1500R units to each other.

READ THESE NOTES BEFORE INSTALLING OR
OPERATING THE DVI 1500
• 50 or 62.5 micron multimode fi ber optic cable is required for operation of the
DVI 1500.
• Maximum extension range of 330 feet (100 meters) when the source
requires HDCP. One CAT-5, CAT-5e or CAT6 cable is used to transmit DDC
and HDCP data back to the source.
• Maximum range of 1640 feet (500 meters) when the source does not require
HDCP. This scenario does not require the CAT-5, CAT5e or CAT-6 cable if
the source does not require DDC information. If DDC is required, the use of
an EDID storage device (part# EXT-DVI-EDIDN, EXT-DVI-EDIDP) can be
used to transmit DDC information back to the source.
• HDCP compliant
• Compatible with all DVI and HDMI* displays.
NOTE: *When used with a HDMI to DVI adapter
