how to install Gefen DVI ELR Lite Extender Over One CAT5

• Step 1: Power off all connected equipment. Prepare the DVI source (computer, media player, or other device), the Gefen DVI ELR Lite transmitter, the CAT5e/CAT6A cable, and the DVI-enabled display or touch screen.
• Step 2: Connect the DVI source to the transmitter’s DVI input using a standard DVI cable. Ensure the connection is secure and the source is configured to output the desired resolution and refresh rate.
• Step 3: Run a single CAT5e or CAT6A cable from the transmitter to the receiver, placing the cable along a safe path away from sources of interference or physical damage where possible.
• Step 4: Connect the receiver to the display or touch screen using another DVI cable. Verify that the display is powered on and ready to receive video input.
• Step 5: Power up the display and the transmitter/receiver units (if required). Allow the devices to initialize and establish the DVI link. If the image does not appear immediately, check cable connections and reseat cables to ensure a proper signal path.
• Step 6: Calibrate or adjust display settings as needed. If you encounter issues with resolution or scaling, configure the source and display to achieve the desired balance between image quality and performance, respecting the maximum extension distance.
• Step 7: Optimize installation by minimizing cable length where possible, choosing high-quality CAT5e/CAT6A cables, and avoiding near-field interference sources to maintain signal integrity over the extended distance.
