4K FIBER OPTIC EXTENDER
27 October 2014
Extending Ultra HD long distances requires an intelligent solution with the proper bandwidth to support 4K video resolutions. Gefen says it has the answer, with its new 4K extender delivering resolutions up to 4K (3840 x 2160 @ 30Hz) with RS-232 and bi-directional IR using one SC-terminated fiber optic cable.
The long-range solution is effective up to 1000 metres at 4K, and up to 2000 meters at 1080p/60 full HD. RS-232 offers an easy method of system automation while bi-directional IR facilitates control from both local and extended locations.
Installation is plug-and-play simple, requiring a single strand of multi-mode fiber optic cable to connect the source to the display. The use of fiber optic cabling provides protection against electromagnetic interference for critical applications. The metallic enclosures further insulate against ambient noise. Automatic calibration based on the length of the cable is included to refine the quality of the delivered video.
Virtual EDID management ensures signal continuity during use and facilitates a quick setup when powering on or off displays, or integrating switchers or other solutions in the video chain. This solution includes locking HDMI and power supply connections for an uninterrupted performance. All HDMI features are supported including 3DTV pass-through, 12-bit deep color, Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio.
Surface-mountable enclosures provide maximum installation flexibility. HDCP compliance is included for all consumer content transmitted using the HDMI format.
