The Gefen HDMI over RGB extension system uses 5-BNC coax cables to deliver 1080p full HD video up to 330-feet (100m) in distance. This allows existing analog displays and projectors to be upgraded on both ends while retaining the existing cable infrastructure to transmit digital high definition signals.

“This is the ideal system for buildings that are using RGBHV projectors and would like to replace them but not rip into the walls to rewire the extension,� said Hagai Gefen, president and CEO, Gefen Inc. more

When you want your lengthy run of HDMI throughout the facility to look as good as it performs, check the Gefen HDMI v1.3 over Fiber Wall Plate Extender. It uses the same sender/receiver methodology often seen with other Gefen products, with local and remote locations connected by a single fiber optic cable. The sender/receiver wall plates enable installers to create a good-looking system that delivers HDMI v1.3 signals up to 300 meters using in-wall fiber optic cabling combined with Omron’s transmit and receive Optical Sub-Assemblies. Where the signal both enters and exits the wall, a small wall plate is mounted, streamlining the process and eliminating extraneous cabling in the surrounding environment. Users can also opt to the stand alone solution with small sender and receiver units, if desired. more
