[SatNews] Gefen has announced the availability of the company's newest 4K Ultra HD matrix switcher.
The Gefen ToolBox 4K Ultra HD 8×8 Matrix (GTB-HD4k2k-848-BLK) is a compact, lightweight and surface-mountable alternative to rack-mounted matrix switchers. This HDCP-compliant matrix routes eight 4K Ultra HD sources to any eight displays with HDMI inputs. Resolutions up to 4K DCI (4096×2160@24Hz), 4K Ultra HD (3860×2160@60Hz, 4:2:0 color space), 1080p full HD and 1920×1200 WUXGA are all supported.
Deep color, 3D 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™ are also passed through. 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 handheld IR remote control. In addition, the matrix can be controlled via RS-232, Telnet, UDP and Gefen's intuitive and easy-to-use web server interface. An easy-to-read back-lit front panel display indicates 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,” said Gefen’s 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.”
