READ THESE NOTES BEFORE INSTALLING
OR OPERATING THE DVI CAT-5 MS EXTREME EXTENDER
• The DVI 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 9.) 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 DVI Detective to
provide EDID information to your source but will not transmit HDCP.
• Shielded CAT6 with metal RJ-45 connectors is recommended to protect from
random ashes caused by EMI.
• Power supply for the receiver should not be connected unless you are using one
CAT5 or going over a distance of 200ft.
• Extensions over 130ft. require you to manually EQ your signal (see page 4).
• Extensions under 130ft. use Auto EQ (which is on by default) (see page 4).
• The extender is factory set to Auto EQ which will work for distances under 130 ft.
OPERATION NOTES
INTRODUCTION
The DVI CAT-5 MS Extreme sender unit sits next to your computer, DVD player or any
set-top box with a DVI output. The cable supplied with the DVI CAT-5 MS Extreme
connects your DVI source to the sender unit. The DVI CAT-5 MSR Extreme receiver unit
sits next to your DVI display - up to 300 feet away. The display plugs into the back of the
DVI CAT-5 MSR Extreme receiver unit. Two CAT-5 cables connect the DVI CAT-5
Extreme-S and the DVI CAT-5 MSR Extreme-R units to each other.

HOW TO USE THE EQ TRIM POT
The EQ trim pot is used extensions over 130 ft. By default, the DVI Extreme comes
set to "Auto EQ" (with dip switch 1 OFF). Underneath the receiver is a bank of dip
switches, hidden by a blank sticker, and if you ip dip switch 1 ON you can turn off
the "Auto EQ" so that you can manually EQ your signal by using the EQ trim pot on
the receiver. If you ip dip switch number 1 back to the OFF position you can set
the DVI Extreme back to "Auto EQ". Auto EQ works best when the sender is set to
"NO BOOST" (see page 5). Auto EQ also works best up to 130 ft reliably. If you are
using the DVI CAT5 Extreme beyond any distance of 130 ft., then It is best if you
manually EQ your signal.
USING THE TRIMPOT
Have both of your CAT5 or CATs6 cables connected.
Start by having the source connected and playing with your display on.
Set the sender to medium boost.
Start with the trimpot all the way counter clockwise and slowly turn the trim pot
clockwise.

If you do not get a picture still or have noise, set the sender to high boost and try to
re-EQ your signal.
SERVICE SWITCH USAGE GUIDE
The sender unit of the Gefen CAT5 MS Extreme contain a set of service switches
(also called dip switches) located underneath the unit. Peeling back the silver
sticker on the bottom of the unit will reveal the service switch bay. These service
switches are used to boost the signal to best match the conditions in your setup.
(*Note: Adjustments should be done with sources and display on. Switches 3 and 4
are not used.)

Setting Switch 1 Switch 2
No Boost OFF ON
Normal Boost (Default) OFF OFF
Strong Boost ON OFF
Receiver Dip Switch Settings
Setting Switch 1 Switch 2
Manual EQ ON OFF
Auto EQ OFF OFF
Adjustment Guidelines:
1) Strong boost should not be used on stranded cables. Strong boosting will
cause pixels or no picture on these cables.
2) Using the wrong settings will not damage the units; it will either produce no
image or a noisy image.
3) To eliminate the possibility of cross talk and interference, cables must be
terminated with 568B scheduling. (See page 6 for details)
4) No Boost should be set when using Auto EQ.
