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 ber 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.

OPERATION NOTES  
READ THESE NOTES BEFORE INSTALLING OR  
OPERATING THE DVI 1600HD EXTENDER  
DVI 1600HD Extender uses 4 strands of LC terminated ber optic cable.  
Single-mode and multi-mode ber optic cable types are both supported.  
DVI and HDMI modes (for HDCP) are available and are selectable via a  
switch located on the front panel of the DVI 1600HD sender unit.  
Analog stereo RCA , digital S/PDIF, and digital TOSLINK inputs are all  
available for input but only one is selectable for transmission to the receiver.  
The selected audio input will be replicated out of all three audio outputs on  
the receiver unit.  
HDMI mode supports HDCP with resolutions up to 1080p Full HD. Both  
single and multi-mode cables are supported at distances up to 650 feet (200  
meters).  
DVI mode does not support HDCP with resolutions up to 1920 x 1200.  
Both single-mode and multi-mode cables are supported. Multi-mode ber  
can support distances of up to 1640 feet. Single-mode ber can support  
distances of up to 6560 feet (2 kilometers).  
HDMI 1.2 compliant.

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 ber 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 ber  
optic cables to the sender unit. Connect the opposite ends of the ber optic  
cabling to the receiver unit’s ber 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 rst 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 ber optic cable and a range of 1640 feet (500 meters) using multi-  
mode ber 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 ber 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.
