Gefen releases ToolBox for 4K video extension
Gefen has announced the release of Gefen ToolBox 4K Ultra HD HDBaseT 2.0 Extender for HDMI (GTB-UHD-HBT2). This product extends HDMI up to 150m using a single Cat 5e cable.
“The Gefen ToolBox Extender uses the new HDBaseT 2.0 Colligo Chipset that provides a more robust signal link while remaining compatible with all HDBaseT products,” says Gefen marketing manager Chris Bundy.
“With the signal extending up to 150m through one Cat 5e cable, the Gefen ToolBox Extender provides integrators with more flexibility on their projects.”

The Gefen Extender supports resolutions up to 4K Ultra HD 60Hz 4:2:0 with 7.1 channels of high bit rate lossless and LPCM digital audio up to 100m. 1080p HD 8-bit colour video can be extended up to 150m. This product provides RS-232 and 2-way IR extension between the sender and the receiver units, allowing the transfer of IR commands and RS-232 communications between the source and the display.
Gefen’s implementation of the power over HDBaseT technology powers the Receiver unit using the same cable that extends the HDMI signal from the Sender unit. This feature eliminates the need for an external power supply for the Receiver unit, simplifying installation. It also ensures compatibility with other class-compliant HDBaseT devices.
The product’s low profile, small footprint enclosures fit in tight places and can be either surface-mounted or placed on a shelf.
The Gefen ToolBox Extender is fully compatible with the Gefen Syner-G software, providing advanced EDID management, link monitoring, and in-field firmware updates. This makes installation and configuration simpler than ever.
Gefen will be showcasing all its latest products at ISE 2016.
