Gefen shows several methods of cable-free extension at NAB, two geared towards audio/video displays and projectors, and two geared for USB computer peripherals. The Wireless Component Audio Extender delivers pure high definition video and digital audio up to 30 meters using sender and receiver units supporting component video sources and displays. It delivers video in resolutions ranging from 480i to 1080i, and supports both analog and digital audio, which accompanies the video for a true HDTV experience. The Wireless for HDMI Extender uses radio signals to transmit HDTV signals from the source to the television or projector up to 20 meters in distance, delivering HD resolutions up to 1080i. It supports all HDMI sources and outputs digital video and multi-channel audio to any HDMI display. Cable-free connectivity with audio support makes both the Wireless Component Audio Extender and the Wireless for HDMI Extender from Gefen valuable solutions for anyone working in audio/video today. Aside from eliminating the need for connection cabling, both of Gefen's wireless extension solutions offer performance unimpeded by line of sight requirements, enabling sources and displays to be placed in even the most challenging and mobile places.
