June 7, 2006

The 1:8 Component CAT5 Distribution Amplifier from Gefen provides a convenient way to split and distribute video in HD resolutions up to 1080p using a sender and multiple receiver system connected by CAT-5e cables. The system's sender unit comes equipped to distribute eight component outputs, which can be used in part or in full to drive up to eight video displays at the same time using the same video source or computer. A cable with a component input/HD-15 output is also included. A unique option for extending those displays up to 330-feet is included through the use of individual receiver units, measuring just one- by four-inches and capable of receiving HD resolutions over one CAT-5e cable for each extended display. Gefen allows for customizing by offering single receivers separately, priced at $125 each. With or without extension, the Gefen 1:8 Component CAT5 Distribution solution supplies HD-quality video resolution using component video connectors, making this a valuable tool for today's digital signage, presentation and professional audio/video installations. The sender unit, prices at $699, is currently available online at Gefen.com along with receivers, sold separately. Gefen's list of authorized resellers is also available online.
