CONNECTING AND OPERATING THE HDMI CAT-5 MS EXTREME 1. Connect the HDMI source to the HDMI CAT-5 MS Extreme sending unit’s HDMI input port using the supplied HDMI cable. 2. Connect the HDMI CAT-5 MS Extreme sending and receiving units together using two user supplied CAT-5, CAT-5e or CAT-6 cables. NOTE: If field terminating network cable, please adhere to the TIA/EIA568B specification. Please see page 9 for more information. 3.
SERVICE SWITCH USAGE GUIDE The sender and receiver units both have sets of DIP switches located on the underside of their casings. There is a piece of silver metallic tape that must be removed to expose these DIP switches. Each unit carries a bank of 4 DIP switches. Dip switches 1 and 2 on the sending unit and DIP switch 1 on the receiving unit are used in this procedure. By default, all DIP switches on the receiving units should be in the OFF position (Auto EQ On).
ADDITIONAL DIP SWITCH FUNCTIONS FORCE RGB AND PRE-PROGRAMMED EDID FEATURES DIP switch 1 on the 4-bank DIP switch located on the underside of receiver unit enables and disables the automatic equalization function. Additional features can be enabled by using the other DIP switches on this bank. FORCING THE RGB COLORSPACE In some cases, the output video may have a pink or green tint. This usually is attributed to the output device (i.e. display) not supporting the colorspace being used by the source device.
NETWORK CABLE WIRING DIAGRAM Gefen has specifically engineered their products to work with the TIA/EIA-568-B specification.

MOUNTING PLATE INSTALLATION Mounting Plate Installation 1 Remove the rubber feet covering the screws off the bottom of the unit. Remove the screws. 2 3 Line up the mounting plates and screw it on to the unit.
TERMINOLOGY CAT-5 Category 5 cable, commonly known as Cat 5, is an unshielded twisted pair type cable designed for high signal integrity. The actual standard defines specific electrical properties of the wire, but it is most commonly known as being rated for its Ethernet capability of 100 Mbit/s. Its specific standard designation is EIA/TIA-568. Cat 5 cable typically has three twists per inch of each twisted pair of 24 gauge copper wires within the cable.
