Extends Displays Over CAT-5 Cables

The new, multi-functional
4x4 HDMI CAT-5 Matrix from Gefen offers an easy method of
integrating high definition sources and displays.
Its four HDMI inputs support all high definition
audio/video devices equipped with HDMI including satellite
television systems, disc players, digital video recorders
and gaming systems. Once all four sources are connected to
the matrix, users can assign each source to one of the four
displays or projectors connected to the matrixs HDMI
outputs.
The 4x4 HDMI CAT-5 Matrix delivers complete
matrix switching among all eight devices, offering a simple
and effective method of accessing multiple sources from multiple
displays.
If the four displays are located in different
rooms or remote destinations, the 4x4 HDMI CAT-5 Matrix can
extend each display up to 300 feet using CAT-5 cables connected
to remote receivers. Each receiver delivers HDMI signals to
its display through a 6-foot HDMI cable supplied by Gefen.
All four receivers operate with IR remote capability so signals
are transferred back and forth from the matrix for optimal
control.
Whether integrated locally or extended long
distance, Gefens 4x4 HDMI CAT-5 Matrix delivers high
definition resolutions up to 1080p with full HDCP compliance
so there is no loss of video quality on all four displays.
In addition to its four receivers, the rack
mountable matrix system comes with a master IR remote control,
RS-232 port for connecting smart control devices, and rack
ears for mounting. With a MSRP of $3999, the unit is currently
on pre-order at Gefen.com or through an authorized Gefen reseller.
