INTRODUCTION  
Congratulations on your purchase of the 4x4 Component Matrix Over CAT-5.  
Your complete satisfaction is very important to us.  
Gefen  
Gefen delivers innovative, progressive computer and electronics add-on solutions  
that harness integration, extension, distribution and conversion technologies.  
Gefen’s reliable, plug-and-play products supplement cross-platform computer  
systems, professional audio/video environments and HDTV systems of all sizes  
with hard-working solutions that are easy to implement and simple to operate.  
The Gefen 4x4 Component Matrix Over CAT-5  
The Gefen 4x4 Component/Audio CAT5 Matrix offers unprecedented exibility  
and convenience by routing high denition video and analog/digital audio  
from any of four Component video sources to any of 4 remote displays over  
inexpensive, standard CAT5 cabling.  
Each remote display has a control box that allows the viewer to select any of the  
4 video sources and control that source via an IR remote control as if the viewer  
was standing in the room where the source originates.  
Full High-Resolution HDTV signals are supported up to a resolution of 1080p at a  
maximum distance of 1000 feet. The Gefen 4x4 Component/Audio CAT5 Matrix  
works with any Component video source including DVD players, cable boxes,  
and satellite set-top boxes that connect to a Component display. Every source is  
accessible at all times by any display by selecting it with the IR remote.  
How It Works  
You simply connect up to 4 local Component video and analog/digital audio  
sources to the CAT5-Matrix’s inputs. Connect the included 1-foot loop back  
cables into the upper board for the CAT5 extension function. Then run each of  
your CAT5 cables from the Matrix to the remote displays. At each remote display,  
terminate the CAT5 cable run with a Component/Audio CAT5 Receiver device.  
Connect each Receiver to a display and your analog/digital audio equipment and  
you’re all set.

OPERATION NOTES  
READ THESE NOTES BEFORE INSTALLING OR  
OPERATING THE 4X4 COMPONENT MATRIX OVER CAT-5  
The extender functionality of the 4x4 Component Matrix Over CAT-5 requires  
the use of the supplied 1 foot component video and audio jumper cables.  
These cables must be used to connect the component video and audio  
output ports to the component video and audio extension input ports. Please  
see page 12 for details.  
For 1080p video, maximum extension is 1000 feet (300 meters).  
IR repeater functionality is only from the receiving unit to the sending unit. IR  
data cannot be transmitted from the sending unit to the receiving unit.  
A single CAT cable is needed for each extension. Gefen recommends using  
solid core CAT-5e cabling. Termination should adhere to the TIA/EIA-568-B  
specication. Please see page 17 for more details.

RMT-4IR REMOTE IR CODE CONFIGURATION  
How to Resolve IR Code Conicts  
In the event that IR commands from other remote controls conict with the  
supplied RMT-4IR remote control, changing the remote channel will alleviate this  
issue. The RMT-4IR remote control and the 4x4 Component Matrix Over CAT-5  
receiver have DIP SWITCHES for conguring the remote channel that both units  
use to communicate. These settings must match each other for proper operation.  
The 2 DIP SWITCH bank on the RMT-4IR is located underneath the battery  
cover. The 4 DIP SWITCH bank for the 4x4 Component Matrix Over CAT-5  
receiver is located on the underside of the unit beneath a black piece of metallic  
tape. DIP SWITCH 1 and 2 on the RMT-4IR correspond to *DIP SWITCH 1 and 2  
on the 4x4 Component Matrix Over CAT-5 receiver.  
NOTE: *DIP SWITCHES 3 and 4 are not used on the 4x4 Component Matrix  
Over CAT-5 receiver.
