How to Install Gefen Video Extender Receiver

  • Choose a suitable display location and provide a power source for the receiver. Ensure the display and receiver share a clear path from the transmitter to minimize interference.
  • Connect the display to the receiver’s HDMI output (or other supported output) using a high-quality HDMI cable. If using VGA or other formats, connect corresponding cables as supported by your display and receiver pair.
  • Run a single CAT-5 (or CAT-6) cable from the Gefen transmitter to the receiver location. Use a cable of adequate length and quality to uphold 4K performance over distance.
  • Connect video sources to the Gefen transmitter (HDMI, DisplayPort, DVI, or VGA as supported by your setup). Route the corresponding audio as needed through the analog L/R input/output paths if you’re integrating audio.
  • Power up the transmitter and receiver. Allow the system to negotiate EDID and establish the correct resolution and aspect ratio. Use the receiver’s on-screen menus or control interface to fine-tune scaling, volume (for analog audio), and input priority as needed, then test switching between sources to confirm reliable operation.
