Audio & Video Consoles/Extenders

Extend HDMI with audio breakout up to 70 meters/230 feet, over a single CAT-5

The Gefen EXT-UHDA-HBTL-RX is a high-performance HDBaseT™ Receiver that can extend HDMI up to 70 meters (230 feet) at 1080p and 40 meters (130 feet) at 4K, over a single CAT-5e cable. It also de-embeds analog L/R, TOSLINK® optical digital, and coaxial digital audio from the video for use with a separate audio system, enhancing the impact of presentations. This Receiver uses Gefen's implementation of the HDBaseT™ technology with enhanced functionality. It accommodates 10.2 Gbps of data throughput and 300 MHz TMDS Clock frequency, and supports HDMI 2.0 resolutions up to 4K Cinema-DCI (4096 x 2160 to 30 Hz 4:4:4) and 4K Ultra HD (3860 x 2160 to 60 Hz, 4:2:0, or 30 Hz 4:4:4), with HDCP 2.2 or 1.4. Highest performance multichannel digital audio including 7.1 channels of LPCM and HBR (High Bit Rate) digital audio formats, such as Dolby Atmos®, Dolby® TrueHD, DTS:X™, and DTS-HD Master Audio™ are passed through to the HDMI output. The EXT-UHDA-HBTL-RX also extends RS-232 and 2-way IR when used with a compatible Sender unit, facilitating the control of A/V sources placed near the Sender from the viewing location, and sending commands from the head end to control the display or another device placed near the Receiver unit. It can also send RS-232 commands from a third-party controller placed by the Receiver, for switching, scaler controls, and EDID management of a compatible Sender unit. Bi-Directional HDBaseT™ standard POH (Power Over HDBaseT™) technology can supply power remotely from the Receiver unit to a compatible Sender unit, or it can pass power from a compatible Sender unit to the Receiver, using the same CAT-5 cable that extends the HDMI signal. Only one of the two units will need a power supply. This feature simplifies installation in cases when an electrical outlet may not be available near the source or the display. The Receiver's small, ultra-low-profile enclosure can be securely surface-mounted and conveniently hidden away from sight behind the display. It also accommodates a Gefen locking power supply plug for secure connection.

Gefen's AV over IP solutions continue their tradition of providing high performance, scalable, expandable, and secure AV routing and distribution over a standard Gigabit Local Area Network. The Gen 2.0 KVM products offer enhanced performance, features, and functionality such as 4K Ultra HD with HDR support, built-in scalers, video-wall control, independent RS-232, IR, and audio routing, and backward-compatibility with our first generation products.

The EXT-UHD-LANS-TX & RX feature maximum input resolution of 4K 60 Hz 4:2:0, and maximum output resolution of 4K 30 Hz 4:4:4. HDCP 2.2 and 1.4 are also supported. 7.1 channels of HBR (High Bit Rate) lossless and LPCM digital audio can pass through the system as well.

Video, RS-232 2-way IR, and audio can be routed independently between any Sender and Receiver unit, allowing end-users to control any of the sources and the displays within their network. With this greatly expanded array of new cutting-edge features and performance, the new Gefen AV over IP products fully address the ever-growing needs of systems integrators.

The Receiver features a built-in scaler to help optimize the image for a variety of displays and different viewing environments. It also includes a powerful video wall controller that accommodates any screen configuration up to 16x16 and provides great flexibility in sizing and manipulating live and signage content in demanding installations. Digital and analog audio break-out de-embeds audio from the video and sends it to a separate audio system, enhancing the impact of presentations.

Auto-Switch 4K Ultra HD HDMI and VGA, scale, and extend up to 70 meters/230 feet, over a single CAT-5

The Gefen EXT-UHDV-WP-HBTLS-TX is a high-performance solution in standard US electrical wall-plate form factor for switching 4K Ultra HD HDMI and VGA inputs, and extending them up to 70 meters (230 feet) at 1080p and 40 meters (130 feet) at 4K, over a single CAT-5e cable. Switching between the HDMI and VGA can be set to Automatic or be done manually via the front panel button or RS-232. It supports 10.2 Gbps of data throughput and 300 MHz TMDS Clock frequency, accepting HDMI 2.0 signals up to 4K 60 Hz 4:2:0 or 4K 30 Hz 4:4:4. This extender uses Gefen's implementation of the HDBaseT™ technology with enhancements such as Advanced EDID Management. The HDMI input accommodates resolutions up to 4K Cinema-DCI (4096 x 2160 to 30 Hz 4:4:4) and 4K Ultra HD (3860 x 2160 to 60 Hz, 4:2:0, or 30 Hz 4:4:4), with HDCP 1.4. Highest performance multichannel digital audio including 7.1 channels of LPCM and HBR (High Bit Rate) digital audio formats, such as Dolby Atmos®, Dolby® TrueHD, DTS:X™, and DTS-HD Master Audio™ are passed through to the HDMI output. The VGA input features a companion L/R analog audio input, and accepts VESA and CEA resolutions up to WUXGA (1920 x 1200 to 60 Hz, 4:4:4) and 1080p Full HD (1920 x 1080 at 60 Hz, 4:4:4). A powerful built-in scaler can upscale lower resolution VGA signals with legacy aspect ratio to widescreen WUXGA, ensuring stunning presentations and smooth switching transitions between the HDMI and the VGA sources. The EXT-UHDV-WP-HBTLS-TX extends RS-232 when used with a compatible Receiver unit such as the Gefen EXT-UHDA-HBTL-RX, facilitating the control of A/V sources placed near the Sender from the viewing location, and sending automation commands to the display or another device placed near the Receiver unit. It also accepts RS-232 commands for switching, scaler controls, and EDID management from a third-party controller placed near the Sender or remotely by the Receiver. HDBaseT™ standard POH (Power Over HDBaseT™) technology powers the Sender remotely from the Receiver unit, using the same cable that extends the HDMI signal. This feature simplifies installation in many cases where supplying power directly to the wall-plate is not practical. Alternatively, if powering the wall-plate Sender from the Receiver unit is not feasible, a separately available power supply can be hard-wired to a detachable "captive-screw" Phoenix connector on the back of the wall-plate. The Sender uses the North American standard 2-gang wall-plate form factor and can work with most "open-back" low-voltage installation brackets and table boxes. It is compatible with most standard North American Decora® wall-plates (a white-colored wall-plate is included). It also accommodates Gefen locking HDMI cables for secure and reliable connections.

HDMI without wires up to 100 feet
(30 meters)

The Wireless for HDMI 5 GHz LR (Long Range) Extender system sends high definition audio and video to any HDTV display up to 100 feet (30 meters). It extends HDCP-compliant HDMI AV content from computers, game consoles, set-top boxes, Blu-ray players, and other AV sources to a remotely located display. HD resolutions up to 1080p Full HD, 7.1 channels of LPCM digital audio, and 5.1 channels of Dolby® or DTS® formats are supported. This wireless system is comprised of a Sender and a Receiver unit. Both units can be attached to a standard ?"-20 camera tripod mount, wall mounted, or be placed on a shelf. The small and low-profile Receiver unit includes a wired IR Extender module, and can be hidden away behind the display or inside an equipment cabinet if needed. The Sender features two HDMI inputs and an HDMI output for connection to a local display. The end-user can select between the two HDMI sources by using the included handheld IR remote or by pressing the Input button on the Sender or the Receiver unit. The included IR emitter array can be connected to the Sender unit and attached to the IR sensor windows of the two Hi-Def sources, allowing full control of the source unit from another room simply by pointing the IR remote of the source at the Receiver unit. This wireless extender system is ideal for high-definition AV extension in a conference room, classroom, auditorium, home theater, and multiform AV installations that feature multiple sources and two displays. Up to eight Sender units can be accessed by a Receiver, one at a time, using its handheld remote control. The Wireless for HDMI 5 GHz LR Extender system can transmit through walls and does not require line-of-sight placement of its transceivers.
