The Gefen 4x4 Component Matrix Over CAT-5
The Gefen 4x4 Component/Audio CAT5 Matrix offers unprecedented fl exibility 
and convenience by routing high defi nition video and analog/digital audio 
from any of four Component video sources to any of 4 remote displays over 
inexpensive, standard CAT-5 cabling. 
Each remote display has a control box that allows the viewer to select any of the 
4 video sources and control that source via an IR remote control as if the viewer 
was standing in the room where the source originates. 
Full High-Resolution HDTV signals are supported up to a resolution of 1080p at a 
maximum distance of 1000 feet. The Gefen 4x4 Component/Audio CAT5 Matrix 
works with any Component video source including DVD players, cable boxes, 
and satellite set-top boxes that connect to a Component display. Every source is 
accessible at all times by any display by selecting it with the IR remote.
How It Works
You simply connect up to 4 local Component video and analog/digital audio 
sources to the Matrix’s inputs. Connect the included 1-foot loop back cables into 
the upper board for the CAT-5 extension function. Then run each of your CAT-5 
cables from the Matrix to the remote displays. At each remote display, terminate 
the CAT-5 cable run with a Component/Audio CAT5 Receiver device. Connect 
each Receiver to a display and your analog/digital audio equipment and you’re all 
set.
