January 10, 2008

In addition to Gefen’s existing selection of HDTV extenders based on fiber, copper and CAT-5 cables, CES will see new innovations in which the HDMI signal can travel over coax and RGB cables in addition to a wireless version that needs no cables. HDMI Over Coax Extender This sender/receiver solution extends any HDMI source up to 300 feet from the display or projector using a single coax cable. It supports high definition resolutions up to 1080p with full HDCP compliance and IR remote pass-through capability. HDMI Over RGB Extender This extender is designed to be a "dongle" replacement for existing component solutions where projectors or displays are extended using RGBH&V cable terminated with BNC. The system employs Gennum’s ActiveConnect technology and is capable of transmitting high definition audio/video up to 150-feet making it well suited for most home installations today. This extender supports HDMI at 1080p resolutions, offers complete HDCP-compliance and operates with Gefen’s trademark plug and play ease. Wireless For HDMI Extender This solution offers a high quality method of HDTV extension using ultra wideband (UWB) wireless technology for easy in-room connections of high definition video sources to displays up to 30 feet in distance without cables. It supports HDCP compliance and offers a method of switching between two sources for added value.
