The Gefen 2:8 HDMI Distribution Amplifier is the perfect solution for anyone who
needs to send one or two sources of digital high definition video to multiple displays
at the same time. It supports HDMI equipment, such as DVD players, satellite set
top boxes, and HDMI displays. In operation, the digital source is connected to the
distribution amplifier’s input while eight HDMI outputs are available to be used
in part or in full. Once the unit is connected and powered, your source can be
distributed up to eight digital displays at the same time.
How It Works
Simply connect your HDMI video source to the 2:8 Distribution Amplifier’s input
using the supplied HDMI cable. Then connect up to eight HDMI displays to the unit’s
eight HDMI outputs. Once connected and powered, your source will be seen on all
eight displays at the same time. When two or more 2:8’s are connected together,
you can create a larger distribution system.

CONNECTING THE 2:8 HDMI DISTRIBUTION AMPLIFIER
OPERATING THE 2:8 HDMI DISTRIBUTION AMPLIFIER
4
Connect the supplied cable from the HDMI source into the HDMI input port1. 1 of the
2:8 HDMI DistributionAmplifier.
Connect a second HDMI source to HDMI input port 2 on the 2:8 HDMI Distribution2. Amplifier using a user supplied HDMI cable.
Connect the display(s) (up to eight) to the HDMI output port(s) of the 2:8 HDMI3. Distribution Amplifier using user supplied cable(s)
Plug the 24V DC power supply into the 2:8 HDMI Distribution Amplifier.4.
Switching between the inputs on the 2:8 HDMI DistributionAmplifier is done using either
the supplied RMT2-IR remote or the RJ11 to serial interface.
IR Remote
Pressing button one on the remote will select the HDMI source that is connected to
HDMI input port one. Pressing two on the remote will select the HDMI source that is
connected to HDMI input port two.
RJ11 To Serial Control Interface
Please see the diagram on page 7 for the RJ11 serial control interface pin configuration.
How to Connect the 2:8 HDMI Distribution Amplifier

RMT2-IR INSTALLATION
1. Remove battery cover from the back of the RMT2-IR remote.
2. Verify that dip switches 1 & 2 are in the down (OFF) position. (See page 6)
3. Insert the battery, hold the battery so that you can see the positive side facing up.
The side that is not marked must be facing down.
4. Test the RMT2-IR remote by pressing ONLY one button at a time. The indicator
light on the remote will flash once each time you press a button.
WARNING: Do not press multiple buttons simultaneously and do NOT press buttons
rapidly. These actions will cause the remote to reset and steps 1-4 will have to be
repeated.
Note: The RMT2-IR ships with two batteries. One battery is required for operation,
the second battery is complimentary.
The optional IR extender allows you to
relocate your HDMI Switcher and still retain IR
control. Gefen part# EXT-RMT-EXTIR

How to Resolve IR Code Conflicts
In the event that IR commands from other remote controls conflict with the supplied RMT-2IR
remote control, changing the remote channel will alleviate this issue. The RMT-2IR remote control
and the 2:8 HDMI Distribution Amplifier have Dip Switches for configuring the remote channel that
both units use to communicate. These settings must match each other for proper operation. The 2
Dip Switch bank on the RMT-2IR is located underneath the battery cover. The 8 Dip Switch bank
for the 2:8 HDMI Distribution Amplifier is located inside of the unit. *Dip Switch 1 and 2 on the
RMT-2IR correspond to Dip Switch 3 and 4 on the 2:8 HDMI Distribution Amplifier.
NOTE: *Dip Switches 1, 2, and 5 through 8 are not used on the 2:8 HDMI Distribution Amplifier.
Because the procedure for changing channels requires the main unit to be disassembled, this
procedure should only be done if there are IR conflicts present in your setup.
Disconnect power from unit before starting. Remove all cabling from unit.
To open the 2:8 HDMI DistributionAmplifier Unit, remove all screws from the sides and underside of
the unit. Remove the hex nuts above each HDMI connector. Slide the unit apart carefully to expose
the internal PCB and the 8 Dip Switch bank.
When Dip Switch adjustments are complete, carefully slide the unit back together. Being careful
not to over tighten the hex nuts, screw them back in above each HDMI connector. Screw all of the
screws from the sides and underside of the unit back into the unit, again being careful not to over
tighten the screws. Plug all cabling back into its proper location on the unit. Reconnect power to the
unit and test for IR conflicts.

Additional control of the EDID modes and IR channel are possible using the
RS-232 interface. For any of these modes to be successfully written to the
EEPROM, all Dip Switches must be in the OFF position.
OK is printed out on screen when a mode has successfully been changed.
