Why GefenToolBox?
The GefenToolBox line offers portable and easy-to-install solutions for common
A/V system integration setups using HDMI connectivity. GefenToolBox products
are wall-mountable and small in size. GefenToolBox products are easily trans-
ported in the field and are ready for immediate and simple installations in working
environments. These products come finished in glossy black or ivory to blend in
with either a white wall of black cabinet.
The GefenToolBox High Definition 1080p Scaler
The GefenToolBox High Definition 1080p Scaler allows you to scale one HDMI
input to one HDMI output with up to 1080p Full HD and Deep Color. This unit can
vastly improve the quality of the image by outputting the video to the native reso-
lution of the display, bypassing the display’s internal scaler. Video can be manu-
ally scaled up and down in all resolutions up to 1080p Full HD.
This product can also be used to downscale, making it ideal for distributing a
Hi-Def signal to multiple displays that do not support the same maximum resolu-
tions in an HDMI distribution system, while still showing maximum resolution on
the higher-definition displays. It can also be used for DVI signals with appropriate
adapters.
The GefenToolBox High Definition 1080p Scaler is conveniently wall-mountable
so it can be easily installed behind the display. This Scaler offers RS-232 control
and is field-upgradeable.
How It Works
Use the included HDMI cable to connect the source to the High Definition 1080p
Scaler. Connect the display to the Scaler using an HDMI cable. Connect an opti-
cal and / or coax audio cable from the source to the Scaler.Another set of optical
and / or coax audio cables can be connected to an A/V receiver or amplifier. Con-
nect the 5V DC locking power supply to the Scaler and connect the power cord
to an available electrical outlet. Select the audio input by using the On-Screen
Display with the front panel buttons or the included IR remote control.
