GEFEN 4K 8×8 MATRIX

21 April 2015

Gefen’s new ToolBox 4K Ultra HD 8×8 Matrix is a compact, lightweight and surface-mountable alternative to rack-mounted matrix switchers.

The HDCP 1.4 compliant matrix routes eight Ultra HD sources to any eight 4K Ultra HD displays with HDMI inputs, supporting resolutions up to 4K DCI (4096 x 2160 at 24Hz), 4K Ultra HD (3860 x 2160 at 60Hz, 4:2:0 color space), 1080p Full HD, and 1920×1200 WUXGA along with 3D, Deep Color, and multichannel digital audio including 7.1 channels of LPCM and HBR (High Bit Rate) formats such as Dolby TrueHD, and DTS-HD Master Audio.

The Gefen Syner-G software’s Discovery and Show-Me features simplify initial IP configuration of this matrix. Each source can be routed to any display location, using the front-panel push buttons or the included handheld IR remote control. The matrix can also be controlled via RS-232, Telnet, UDP, and Gefen’s web server interface. An easy-to-read backlit front panel display indicates the current routing status and IP settings.

“Today’s corporate and presentation venues require a reliable method of accessing and distributing high-end Ultra HD content,” says Gefen president, Tony Dowzall. “The Gefen 4K Ultra HD 8×8 Matrix is a solution designed to meet the demands of retail environments, educational facilities, sports clubs, medical offices, corporate auditoriums and other similar establishments.”
