The Gefen TV Wireless for HDMI
The GefenTV Wireless for HDMI 60 GHz Extender delivers a plug-and-play
wireless solution for HDMI sources placed up to 30 feet (9 meters) away. Hi-def
resolutions of up to 1080p/60 fps are supported with 8-channel embedded digital
audio.
The GefenTV Wireless for HDMI 60 GHz Extender is a wireless solution for
extending any HDMI A/V sources to a remote HDMI-compliant display such as
satellite boxes, DVD players, and Blu-Ray players. The Wireless for HDMI 60
GHz operates best in open indoor spaces with minimum obstructions between
the Sender and Receiver units. Range will be significantly reduced otherwise.
How It Works
The GefenTV Wireless for HDMI 60 GHz Extender uses one sender and one
Receiver unit. A short cable connects the HDMI input of the sender unit to the
HDMI output of an HDMI source. At the display side, a short cable connects the
HDMI output of the Receiver unit to the HDMI input of the HDTV display. Power
is applied to the Sender and Receiver. There is a slight pause while the Sender
and Receiver locate each other and begin communicating. The HDMI signal
from the HDMI source then travels to the HDMI display over 60 GHz radio waves
and a vibrant and crisp High Definition picture emerges on the HDTV display.
Indicator lights on the front panels of both units assist in troubleshooting should
there be objects in the path of the radio waves or other problems to resolve.
Note on Multichannel Audio: Compressed audio as well as analog audio are
formats supported depending on the capability of the input device. Please refer to
the Specifications section for further details.
