INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of the DVI Booster. 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 Booster
Gefen’s DVI Booster reconditions the HD signal sent over long cable, essentially eliminating the video
degradation that occurs beyond 15-feet.
A sort of cable companion, the DVI Booster requires no extra power supply, additional wiring or sender
and receiver system. It’s an inconspicuous single box solution that makes extending HDTV over copper
cables a breeze.
How It Works
This plug and play installation takes mere seconds. You simply connect the extension cable on one
side of the DVI Booster and the display’s cable on the other side. The DVI Booster sits between the end
of your DVI cable and your display. You also have the option of connecting another DVI cable to the
Booster, daisy chaining Boosters and cables for greater distances.

OPERATION NOTES
READ THESE NOTES BEFORE INSTALLING OR
OPERATING THE DVI BOOSTER
•
The DVI Booster is powered passively by the source. If the source does not output the required 5V
for operation, a powered booster, instead of this passive booster, will be required (part# EXT-DVI-
141SB or EXT-DVI-141SBP). Optionally, a 5V power can also be added by placing a DVI Mate
With Power (part# ADA-DVI-FFWP) in the video chain before the DVI Booster.
•
•
Maximum single cable that can be used with the DVI Booster is 100 feet at a resolution of 1920 x
1200.
Multiple units can be daisy chained together to extend the video signal for longer distances.
