The Gefen Presentation Switcher works with both 4K Ultra HD sources and legacy analog devices, providing flexible connectivity and a single management point for all devices in the room. The auto-switching feature saves time by making it easy for users to connect and present without the need to select inputs manually.
The intuitive user interface is accessible from any computer or mobile browser and via On-Screen-Display, and doubles as a setup tool and daily controller – eliminating the need for costly external controllers in smaller installations.
When used as part of a larger A/V system, important control interfaces are available for users; integrated scaling, picture quality, and troubleshooting tools make fine-tuning applications easy, while Gefen Syner-G™ streamlines integration into any network.
For larger rooms, the Multi-Format 5×1 Switcher features built-in support for both consumer and professional microphones, with mixing and ducking controls for live events.
The compact, surface-mountable enclosure is easily hidden under a table or placed on a shelf. Split outputs simultaneously support a local HDMI display and a remotely installed projector or screen using its integrated HDBaseT™ extender.
The new 5×1 Switcher joins the Gefen family of dedicated Multi-Format Conferencing and Collaboration solutions that include the EXT-4K300A-MF-41-HBTLS 4×1 Switcher, the EXT-UHDV-WP-HBTLS-TX and EXT-UHDV-HBTLS-TX 2×1 Switchers, and the EXT-UHDA-HBTL HDBaseT Receiver.
