INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of the DVI 1600HD Extender. 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 DVI 1600HD Extender
The Gefen DVI-1600HD is a perfect solution for extending and managing control
systems at great distances. The Gefen DVI-1600HD sends DVI or HDMI, Audio,
and RS232C signals up to 300m away when used with DVI at 1920x1200 and up
to 2km when used with DVI at lower resolutions. It maintains HD video signals
up to 1920x1200 with computers and 1080p with HD equipment. Additionally,
extension of RS232 signals helps create long-distance control systems for AV
integration or touch-panel systems.
How It Works
The Gefen DVI-1600HD system uses a send-and-receive methodology. The DVI/
HDMI/Audio/RS232C source devices are plugged into the Sender module. At
the Receiver, remote devices (including an HD display) plug into the Receiver
module. The proper length of fiber optic cable is connected at both ends. Power
supplies for the modules are plugged into wall sockets and a crisp vibrant HD
picture results.
Note: This device fully supports Display Data Channel (DDC) and High-
Bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) when the front panel switch on the
sender module is selected to HDMI.
The Gefen DVI-1600HD uses a DVI connector for video. HDMI can be sent by
using adapters or combo cables to provide DVI video with external digital audio
as combined input to the DVI-1600HD Sender unit. The result will be HDMI with
embedded audio at the Receiver end.
The digital input jacks can only support D-PCM or PCM stereo audio formats.

CONNECTING THE DVI 1600HD EXTENDER
How to Connect the DVI 1600HD Extender
1. Connect the DVI or HDMI (using a HDMI to DVI adapter/cable) to the DVI
1600HD Extender sending unit using a user supplied cable.
NOTE: If the source device is a HDMI device that requires HDCP, please
set the DVI/HDMI mode selector switch to HDMI. The unit’s distance will
be limited to 650 feet (200 meters) on 4 LC single or multi-mode fiber optic
cables while in this mode.
2. Connect up to 3 audio sources to the sending unit using user supplied
cables. Input options are as follows:
Analog stereo using one pair of RCA analog stereo cables.
Digital coaxial using one S/PDIF digital coaxial audio cable.
Digital optical using one TOSLINK digital optical audio cable.
3. Optionally, connect an RS-232 device to the sender unit using a user
supplied RS-232 cable.
NOTE: The DVI 1600HD Extender system will not cross the transmit and
receive lines as a null-modem adapter would. All pins will pass straight
through from one point to the other.
4. Connect 2 pairs (4 strands) of LC terminated single or multi-mode fiber
optic cables to the sender unit. Connect the opposite ends of the fiber optic
cabling to the receiver unit’s fiber optic receptacles.
5. Connect a DVI or HDMI (using a DVI to HDMI adapter/cable) capable device
to the DVI output of the DVI 1600HD Extender receiving unit using a user
supplied cable.
6. Connect up to 3 of the audio outputs to audio receiving devices. Available
outputs are as follows:
Analog stereo using one pair of RCA analog stereo cables.
Digital coaxial using one S/PDIF digital coaxial audio cable.
Digital optical using one TOSLINK digital optical audio cable.
NOTE: All outputs are active regardless of the selected input on the sender.
However, multi-channel content that is being sent by the digital connectors
will not be output by the analog stereo output.
7. Optionally, connect an RS-232 device to the receiver unit using a user
supplied RS-232 cable.

CONNECTING AND OPERATING THE DVI 1600HD EXTENDER
How to Connect the DVI 1600HD Extender
8. Connect the included 12V DC power supplies to both the sending and
receiving units and open wall power sockets.
9. Power on the endpoint device first and then the source device.
Operating the DVI 1600HD Extender
The DVI 1600HD can be set in either DVI or HDMI mode.
•
DVI mode has a maximum range of 6560 feet (2 kilometers) with single-
mode fiber optic cable and a range of 1640 feet (500 meters) using multi-
mode fiber optic cable. DVI mode does not support HDCP. Maximum
supported resolution is 1920 x 1200. To select this mode, set the DVI/HDMI
mode selector switch on the front panel of the sender to DVI.
•
HDMI mode has a maximum range of 650 feet (200 meters) with both
single and multi-mode fiber optic cables. HDMI mode does support HDCP.
Maximum supported resolution is 1080p Full HD. To select this mode, set
the DVI/HDMI mode selector switch on the front panel of the sender to
HDMI.
The audio source used for transmitting to the receiver can be selected from
the front panel of the DVI 1600HD Extender sending unit. Use the audio input
selector button to cycle between the 3 available inputs. The inputs are cycled as
follows:
Audio (analog stereo)
Coax (digital S/PDIF)
Optical (digital TOSLINK)
All audio outputs on the receiver are constantly active. This means that analog
signal are converted to digital and digital signal are converted to analog. The only
exception to this is multi-channel digital audio, which will not be output through
the analog stereo output.
