Gefen DVI-Audio Over CAT-5 Extender Sends DVI And Analog/Digital Audio Up To 150 Feet

March 14, 2006

How would you like to transmit HD DVI video with digital and analog audio over CAT-5 cables? The new DVI-Audio Extender from Gefen provides a solution that will accomplish this feat using plug and play sender and receiver units designed for all types of digital signage applications.. Audio formats including S/PDIF and RCA analog audio are sent together with DVI video up to 150 feet from the source. HD video in resolutions up to 1080p and multichannel digital audio are delivered to the extended destination over two CAT-5 or CAT-6 cables, meaning conduit and existing cabling doesn't have to be pulled rewired to support HD digital upgrades. Easy to install and simple to operate, the DVI Audio Extender performs a valuable role when HD audio/video signals need to be viewed away from the computer source using distance-limited DVI specifications. Both the extended video and audio perform impeccably up to 150 feet as if connected locally. Gefen's DVI Audio Extender uses a sender and receiver transmission system, connected by two cables. Measuring just two and half inches tall, one inch wide and 5 and half inches deep, the discrete units take up little space. One six-foot DVI source connector and RCA cable is included along with an external power supply to drive the system.
