Gefen has announced the immediate availability of its EXT-UHD600A-44, the latest addition to its Ultra HD 600 MHz Series of signal distribution products.
The EXT-UHD600A-44 matrix routes video and audio from the newest HDMI sources and provides output scaling to incorporate UHD and HD displays. The matrix accepts the HDMI 2.0 signal at its highest specification of 4K 60 Hz at 4:4:4 Chroma subsampling, along with HDR (High Dynamic Range) and HDCP 2.2 support.
The EXT-UHD600A-44 delivers Ultra HD and DCI/Cinema picture quality up to 4096 X 2160 pixels at 60 frames per-second without subsampling colour. Two of the outputs on the EXT-UHD600A-44 can downscale a 4K signal to 1080p while the other two outputs can upscale an HD signal to 4K Ultra HD. The audio breakout features enable audio to be extracted from each output and routed to a separate audio amplifier for added impact in large venues or for use in multi-zone applications.
The EXT-UHD600A-44 also features Long Range Power (LRP) that eliminates the need for installers to use an external power supply when using a compatible extender to increase the matrix’s output beyond an HDMI cable’s limits.
Power ports have been included on the back panel of the matrix for extension and media streaming devices that draw power from a standard USB port.
