Gefen has announced shipping of two ToolBox Splitters, which boast Gefen Fast Switching Technology (FST) and 3DTV capability.
The company claims that sources using HDMI with HDCP (high-bandwidth digital content protection) will no longer introduce a delay when syncing. Furthermore HDMI v1.4 features are implemented to support 3DTV.
The ToolBox 1:4 and 1:8 Splitters for HDMI distribute any high definition source using HDMI and deliver it to either four or eight HDTV displays at the same time. Both products work with cameras, blu-ray players and set-top boxes.
For those integrating analogue devices or certain set-top boxes that will not work with more than one HDCP 'key', Gefen has included a physical bypass switch so users can select slow switching (no FST) if needed. Both splitters ship with the switch set to fast switching (FST-enabled).
