[The following is a release from Gefen]

March 13, 2008

Two new, multi-functional scalers from Gefen's new GefenTV line deliver easy ways of connecting old and new video equipment. Each performs a seamless conversion of video formats and offers up/down video scaling to achieve the best image possible on the connected display. GefenTV HDMI to Composite Scaler This scaler allows a direct connection between today's HDMI video systems, including game consoles, DVD players and set-top boxes, and any composite or s-video legacy display or projector with audio. It downscales to 480i and 576i resolutions. With support for both NTSC and PAL formats, and supplemental digital and analog audio inputs and outputs to have audio accompany the video, this scaler is intended for anyone wanting to view video on their current system without upgrading to HDMI. GefenTV Composite to HDMI Scaler This scaler enables any composite or s-video signal at 480i to output all high definition resolutions to 1080p. An on-screen display easily guides users through their scaling selections with support for both computers and entertainment systems using the HDMI format. Supplemental audio inputs and outputs deliver audio alongside the video output in the HDMI format for the most robust audio/video systems.
