How to install Gefen GTB-UHD600-HBT

Setting up the Gefen GTB-UHD600-HBT is straightforward, designed to minimize complexity while maximizing reliability in critical AV installations. Follow these steps to achieve a clean, rock‑solid 4K extension from source to display:

• Begin by identifying the HDMI source you want to extend (Blu-ray player, media server, game console, etc.) and connect its HDMI output to the transmitter’s HDMI input port.
• Run a single CAT-5e (or better) cable from the transmitter to the receiver. For best results, use a high-quality shielded CAT‑5e/6 cable and keep runs away from power lines to minimize interference.
• Connect the receiver’s HDMI output to the display or projector that will receive the extended signal. Ensure the display is configured to the correct HDMI input and that mirroring or extended display modes align with your setup.
• Set up any control integration required for your environment. If you’re using IR, connect the IR blaster/eye or IR cables as appropriate for bi-directional control, and if RS‑232 control is part of your automation system, connect RS‑232 cables between the transmitter and receiver or your control hub.
• Power on all devices and verify the HDMI handshake. Confirm you’re receiving 4K at 60 Hz with HDR on the display, and test any audio pathways to ensure Dolby Atmos or other surround formats are being carried through correctly. Adjust any display or source settings if needed to optimize color depth and HDR performance.
