How It Works
The GefenPRO Extender for HDMI ELR PoL 2 over CAT5 Sender unit is located
next to a set-top box or DVD player source. Use the supplied HMDI cable to con-
nect an HDMI source to the Sender unit. The GefenPRO Extender for HDMI ELR
PoL 2 over CAT5 Receiver unit is located up to 330 feet away, near the display.
Connect the HDTV display and another Hi-Def source to the Receiver Unit.
One CAT-5 cable connects the Sender and Receiver units to each other. The
Ethernet ports on both the Sender and Receiver units are connected to standard
network devices, such as 100Base-T routers and hubs. Multichannel digital audio
is embedded in the HDMI signal (Dolby® TrueHD / DTS-HD Master Audio™).
To use the switching capability, simply power on the Hi-Def source connected to
the Receiver Unit. The Extender will automatically switch to source connected to
the Receiver Unit. To revert to the source connected to the Sender Unit, simply
power down the source connected to the Receiver Unit.
