Gefen has joined forces with Marshall Electronics to target entertainment, hospitality and retail sectors with a solution that provides live video footage on HDTV displays.
Marshall Electronics’ HD Encoder/Decoder (VS-102-HDMI) accepts video from non
HDCP-encrypted HDMI sources, including satellite set-top boxes and high-definition cameras.
This can be used in a Gefen Digital Signage Creator
project to feed live video in the HDMI format to
HDTV displays.
The Digital Signage Creator works with Windows-based
systems and provides control over digital signage content creation when
connected to a LAN.
Perry Goldstein, manager of sales and
marketing for Marshall Electronics, said the companies combined resources provided
a cost-effective solution for streaming live video in a digital signage system.
