READ THESE NOTES BEFORE INSTALLING OR

OPERATING THE HDMI CAT-5 MS EXTREME

• The HDMI CAT-5 MS Extreme units are housed in a metal box for better RF

shielding.

• Your CAT-5 cable should not exceed 300 feet.

• If you do not need DDC or HDCP data you can use a single CAT-5 cable for the

video only. The DDC will not be connected. (For further information, see our

Terminology section on page 11.) If HDCP is required, both CAT-5 cables must

be used between the sender and receiver units.

• If the source requires EDID present, you can use the Gefen HDMI Detective to

provide EDID information to your source but will not transmit HDCP.

• Shielded CAT-6 with metal RJ-45 connectors is recommended to protect from

random ﬂ ashes caused by EMI.

• Power supply for the receiver should not be connected unless you are using one

CAT-5 or going over a distance of 200ft.

• Extensions over 130ft. require you to manually EQ your signal (see page 7).

• Extensions under 130ft. use Auto EQ (which is on by default) (see page 7).

• The extender is factory set to Auto EQ which will work for distances under 130 ft.

• This product features the option to force the output colorspace to RGB and/or use

a pre-programmed EDID. These features can be used to resolve speceﬁ c user

issues or for troubleshooting purposes. Please see page 8 for more information.
