Two new switchers from the GefenTV line offer convenience for anyone wanting to access more than one audio/video device using the single HDMI input on any high definition television or display. Hi-def resolutions up to 1080p full HD are delivered for each source selected, making it perfect for users wanting to integrate television, movies and gaming systems with simplicity and ease. GefenTV Multi Format Switcher (MSRP $499) What makes this switcher so useful is its support for different video formats. It converts standard and high definition audio/video inputs to the HDMI format, allowing plug and play connections between several different video devices. It supports DVD players, set-top boxes, Blu-ray players and game systems using component, composite, s-video and HDMI connectors, all with supplemental audio inputs. Whatever source users select using the switcher's IR remote, the RS-232 connection or the front panel button is delivered in the HDMI format, with supplemental audio in mirrored digital audio outputs. This rack mountable switcher offers easy source control for wall-mounted flat panel displays while providing de-interlacing from 480i to 480p for maximum compatibility between analog video and HDMI. GefenTV Switcher (MSRP $199) Up to four gaming systems, set-top boxes and Blu-ray players using the HDMI format can be connected to the single HDMI input on any high definition display or projector using this streamlined switching solution. The back panel button or IR remote controls source access, while 1080p full HD video is delivered to the display or projector with zero degradation. Full HDCP compliance and plug and play operability makes this a valuable addition to any home entertainment system seeking to integrate various audio/video devices.
