This affords functionality previously available only via hardwired matrix systems, offering tremendous opportunities in various applications including multi-room, hospitality, signage, and educational venues.
- Gefen is dedicating one wall to AV-over-IP technology, integrating HDMI-, DVI-, and VGA-over-IP distribution solutions with its new Matrix Controller (EXT-CU-LAN). This creates a robust and secure routing infrastructure with independent administrator access and control privileges. The new Matrix Controller gives users full control of a virtual matrix system of Gefen’s AV-over-IP products. It offers a comprehensive interface that is accessible by any web-enabled device, including smart phones, tablets, and computers.
- Three new AV extenders utilizing HDBaseT 2.0 will be featured, boasting a more consistent, robust link and new features. These three extenders provide a variety of extension options, including HDMI, DVI, USB, ethernet, RS-232, bi-directional IR, and two-way audio.
- In addition, Gefen is demonstrating its range of 4K Ultra HD solutions, including four new matrixes. The Gefen ToolBox 4K Ultra HD 8x8 Matrix (GTB-HD4K2K-848) routes eight sources to any eight displays using HDMI. Resolutions up to 4K DCI (4096x2160@30Hz), 4K Ultra HD (3860x2160@60Hz, 4:2:0 color space), 1080p full HD and 1920x1200 WUXGA are all supported. Deep color, 3D, and multichannel digital audio including 7.1 channels of LPCM and HBR (High Bit Rate) formats are also passed through.
- Gefen Syner-G software's Discovery and Show-Me features simplify IP configuration. Gefen is also showing three upcoming, rack-mountable 4K Ultra HD 8x8 matrixes supporting HDCP 2.2, with some models featuring HDBaseT 2.0 and audio switching/down mixing. In the realm of video distribution for TV display walls, Gefen will be showing three new 4K Ultra HD splitters. Each facilitates a scalable method of implementing a tiered cascade of up to 10 layers of 4K Ultra HD displays. The specific application demonstrated utilizes the new Gefen ToolBox 4K Ultra HD 1:8 Splitter (GTB-HD4K2K-148C). All three splitters can be integrated with a variety of Gefen products such as 4K matrixes, extenders, and locking HDMI cables to create a high-performance videowall in retail, hospitality, and entertainment environments. Press and attendees are invited to visit the Gefen team and all the featured product solutions at booth 3843.
