The Gefen 4x4 HDMI CAT5 Matrix switcher allows you to access 4 individual HDMI
digital video sources and display the output up to 1080p Full HD resolution onto 4 HDMI equipped HDTV displays, with multi-channel digital audio, eg Dolby 5.1 with the output
over Cat 5e cable, as used in home Local Area Networks (LAN).
This is a true multi-switcher allowing
you to make the most of your high quality BluRay or DVD player
, Sky HD satellite digibox, Clever Media Center PC
or other high definition AV equipment.
Each remote display has a control box that allows you to select any of the 4 video sources and control that source via an IR remote control
as if you are standing in the room where the source originates.
The Gefen 4x4 HDMI CAT5 Matrix offers unprecedented flexibility and convenience by routing high definition audio/video from any of four HDMI video
sources to any of 4 remote displays over inexpensive, standard CAT5 cabling. The Gefen CAT5 Matrix has HDMI outputs that need to be connected to the
in-built Gefen HDMI CAT5 MS extender transmitters using the short (300mm) HDMI connecting leads supplied. This allows you to incorporate the Gefen 4x4 HDMI
CAT5 Matrix into a HD distribution system where the AV receiver is also located centrally.
Full High-Resolution HDTV signals are supported up to a resolution of 1080p at a maximum distance of 150 feet and 1080i resolutions can be
extended up to 300 feet.
For sources with DVI connectors use HDMI to DVI converters,
or HDMI to DVI connecting leads. For DVI sources you will of course lose the
digital audio upon conversion.
Fully HDCP Compliant
HDCP (high bandwidth digital content protection) is an encryption encoded into a video signal to prevent it from being copied. If a source device
is HDCP encoded and is connected to a display without the proper decoding mechanism, the picture is relegated to "snow" or a very low (480P) resolution
picture. In order to see high resolution digital video encoded with HDCP, all devices between the source and the display must be equipped with
HDCP circuitry, as is the Gefen 4x4 Matrix CAT5 Extender.
The Gefen 4x4 HDMI CAT5 Matrix switcher also has an RS232 connection for interfacing with other control systems.
These photos show the 4x4 HDMI CAT5 switcher in black. Normally supply would be in silver unless black is specially requested.
How It Works
You simply connect up to 4 local video sources to the CAT5-Matrix's inputs. Using the short HDMI leads connect the output from each HDMI on the
switcher section to the input of one of the HDMI extenders. Then run each of your CAT5 cables from the Matrix to the destination
displays. At each remote display, terminate the CAT5 cable run with a HDMI CAT5-MS Receiver device. Connect each Receiver to a display
and you are all set.
Note: This HDMI product supports BOTH Audio and Video signals.
