Gefen ToolBox UHD HDMI 4K2K 6x2 Switcher with HDCP, Deep Colour & Lossless Audio

 

The GefenToolBox 6x2 Matrix for HDMI 4Kx2K is a compact and lightweight alternative to rack-mounted matrixes. It allows up to six Ultra High Definition 4K x 2K or 1080p Full HD sources to be routed to up to two Ultra HD displays. This product supports resolutions up to 4K x 2K (3840 x 2160 @ 30Hz). Deep Colour, 3DTV pass-through, and lossless audio formats such as LPCM 7.1, Dolby® TrueHD, and DTS-HD® Master Audio™ are also supported. In addition to through HDMI, digital audio can also be outputted via the two TOSLINK® optical connectors for use with digital audio processors.

Each Hi-Def source can be routed to either of the connected displays using the front panel push-button controls, the included IR remote, RS-232 serial control interface, or through IP, using Telnet, UDP, and the built-in web server interface. LED indicators on the top panel display the current routing status, FST mode, audio configuration, and EDID settings. 

 

User Application:

The Gefen ToolBox 6x2 Matrix is ideal for home theater systems, multiroom installations, retail establishments, sports bars, schools, museums, hospitals, hotel lobbies, and any other installations where Ultra High Definition HDCP-compliant AV content from up to 6 HDMI sources needs to be routed to up to two Ultra HD displays. Also features TOSLINK output for easy connection to a receiver.

 

FST

Fast Switching Technology (FST) is a Gefen software implementation for HDMI products. FST was created to improve the lengthy HDMI authentication process, based on the HDMI and HDCP specifications. FST allows connecting/disconnecting or turning ON / OFF of displays.

 

How It Works

Connect up to six Ultra Hi-Def sources to the HDMI inputs on the matrix using HDMI cables. Connect up to two Ultra HD displays to the HDMI outputs. Using TOSLINK cables, connect up to two A/V Receivers to the Optical outputs. Connect an Ethernet cable from the network to the RJ-45 connector to use the built-in web server or Telnet /UDP capability to control routing, EDID management, and other functions. Connect an RS-232 cable between an automation control device such as Gefen EXT-PACS and GTB-MINI-PACS and the matrix. Connect the included locking power supply to the matrix and to an available electrical outlet. Apply power to the source and displays. The HD sources can now be routed to the displays using the front panel push-buttons, IR remote control, RS-232, Telnet, UDP, or web server interface.

About Gefen

AV connectivity products for home and commercial use, from extenders and matrix switchers to KVM switches.

Gefen is a Californian AV connectivity company, and its current ownership sits with Nice North America in Carlsbad. The range covers AV over IP, HDMI, DVI and KVM, with matrix switchers, extenders, scalers and cables. You can use it to move video and control signals between sources and displays.

Extenders and switchers move signals around a building

Gefen's extenders carry audio and video beyond the reach of a standard cable, and its matrix switchers route several sources to several screens. Splitters and scalers sit alongside them. Support for 4K, 8K and HDBaseT depends on the model, so check the specification.

KVM switches share one set of controls

A KVM switch lets you operate several computers from one keyboard, mouse and display. Gefen includes KVM over IP models, which extend that control across a network, so the computer and the person using it do not need to be in the same room.

Adaptors, cables and test tools support the system

The range includes AV adaptors, wall plates, HDMI and Ethernet cables, power supplies and control processors, as well as test tools such as the DVI Detective. Syner-G is its management software. Check the product page for the items currently available.
