This extender uses the best technology currently available for a method of wireless extension that takes full advantage of the WirelessHD specification, which is based on the 60GHz Extremely High Frequency (EHF) radio band. This high quality method of extension eliminates the need to run cables, making it a great solution for retrofits or any environment that wants to streamline cabling.

The editors of Electronic House magazine gave a formal nod to this new extender from Gefen by awarding it a Product of the Year award for 2014. Endowed by a panel of distinguished industry leaders and the editors of Electronic House and CE Pro, Gefen joins an exclusive group of products deemed the most noteworthy. Announced on January 7, 2014 at the International CES in Las Vegas, Nevada, the GefenTV Wireless for HDMI 60 GHz was selected as best in the AV cables and interconnects category.

Due to its in-room transmission and use of the uncluttered 60GHz frequency band, this extender can perform seamlessly alongside other wireless devices in adjacent rooms with zero interference. It is very easy to install, requiring a connection of the video source to the sender and of the display or projector to the receiver. Content is transported wirelessly at 4Gbps from source to display. This extender also features a small footprint and a compelling MSRP. Included is a risk-free warranty backed by Gefen’s reputation and well-regarded customer support team.

This sender/receiver system is the fourth product from Gefen offering wireless video connectivity. It joins three other wireless products already shipping: the GefenTV Wireless for VGA; Gefen Wireless for HDMI UWB; and GefenTV Wireless for HDMI 5Ghz extenders.

The GefenTV Wireless for HDMI 60Ghz employs innovative multi-antenna technology from SiBEAM that enables HDMI extension supporting full HD resolutions at 1080p. This is the first wireless solution from Gefen that is uncompressed at the 3Ghz bandwidth, making it well suited for demanding applications like gaming. Multi-channel audio is delivered alongside the video with support for many HDMI v1.3 features.

Gamers will appreciate its low latency, and its ability to deliver vibrant resolutions with multi-channel audio in the HDMI format. Yet the system also works well using a computer with DVI connections.

A one-to-one signal transmission of HDMI up to 10m in distance makes it ideal for in-room applications. The system is particularly desirable for any integrator who wants to avoid in-wall cable runs or needs to do a retrofit installation.

The GefenTV Wireless for HDMI 60Ghz extender comes with HDCP compliance, support for CEC protocols, an RS-232 port for easy control or convenient Internet access to firmware updates and an IR remote for turning power on/off.
