Gefen Announces Newest Wireless HDTV Extender

With an uncompressed delivery of both high definition video and multi-channel digital audio in the HDMI format, this new wireless solution from Gefen is one of the most high performance systems available today.
Using WirelessHD radio technology from SiBeam, this model enables installers to mount a flat panel HDTV anywhere and send the HDMI signal from a Blu-ray player, set-top box or gaming device up to 10 metres in distance.
A line-of-sight recommendation makes it best suited for in-room installations, particularly home entertainment systems. Its low latency means it will operate flawlessly with demanding high definition applications like gaming. It supports all HDMI features and up to eight channels of 24-bit, 192KHz LPCM audio. Full HDCP compliance and CEC protocols are also supported.
The GefenTV Wireless for HDMI 60GHz Extender comes with small sender and receiver units, each powered, that are connected to the high definition video source and the extended display, respectively. Both sender and receiver are equipped with an internal array of 36 antennae so no external antennae is needed.
The system offers a plug and play installation and a user friendly enclosure so even the most technically challenged individual can operate it. An RS-232 port allows for future updates.
Gefen will be at Stand 7.B31 at IBC 2009.
