Video connectivity solutions provider Gefen today announced the release of the latest HD KVM ELR (Extra Long Range) extender.
Sender and receiver units send 1080p full HD with 3DTV pass-through and USB from the source to the display using the same CAT-5 cable, effective at distances up to 330 feet (100m). ITM Components are Gefen''s leading UK distributor and are proud to launch the Gefen EXT-HDKVM-ELR, which is available for immediate purchase.The EXT-HDKVM-ELR extends laptops, Blu-rays and any device using HDMI to a flat panel display or projector equipped with HDMI. Gefen''s ELR technology is based on HDBaseT and bundles the delivery of 1080p full HD with USB peripherals for an excellent performance. The receiver unit supports the connection of HDMI and three USB devices, ideal for keyboard/mouse, camera, printer or hard drive.
Gefen HD KVM ELR was designed for post-production editing suites, where computers are isolated in machine rooms or closets, and hi-def video with keyboard/mouse peripherals are extended to the edit room. Locking power supplies on both sender and receiver eliminate potential system interrupts. USB data speeds reach up to 100 Mbps for an instant delivery. A mini USB port is provided for field upgrades to enhance the lifespan of the product.
