Gefen Now Shipping 4K Ultra HD HDBaseT 2.0 Extender for HDMIGefen, the AV signal management unit of Core Brands, a Nortek company, announces that the 4K Ultra HD HDBaseT 2.0 Extender for HDMI (GTB-UHD-HBT2) is now shipping. "We are committed to helping dealers capitalize on the ever-changing technologies that are shaping the industry," Core Brands' Gefen product manager Jason Fitzgerald said. "The 4K Ultra HD HDBaseT 2.0 Extender for HDMI enables dealers to leverage HDBaseT 2.0 technology in their installations." According to Fitzgerald, the GTB-UHD-HBT2 uses the new HDBaseT 2.0 Colligo platform to ensure an even more robust and resilient connection than the industry standard HDBaseT. It now carries RS-232, Bi-directional IR, and Power over HDBaseT. "Gefen's implementation of the latest HDBaseT 2.0 technology enables the extension of HDMI up to 330' (100m) at 4K, using one CAT-5e cable," Fitzgerald emphasized. "RS-232 and two-way IR signals are transferred between the sender and the receiver to control the AV source and the display. While some of these features may be familiar to current users of HDBaseT products, this product is fully compliant with the new HDBaseT standard and provides a level of future-proofing for this evolving technology." The POH (Power over HDBaseT) technology provides power to the receiver unit using the same Cat5 cable that extends the HDMI and control signals, and only the sender needs an external power supply. Via the GTB-UHD-HBT2, 1080p Full HD and 1920 x 1200 (WUXGA) eight-bit video can be extended up to 495' (150m). Resolutions up to 4K DCI-Cinema (4096 x 2160 at 30Hz 4:4:4) and 4K Ultra HD (3840 x 2160 at 60Hz 4:2:0), along with the latest HDCP 2.2 encryption, are supported. 7.1 channels of LPCM and HBR (High Bit Rate) lossless digital audio including Dolby Atmos, Dolby TrueHD, DTS:X, and DTS-HD Master Audio are passed through.
