GEFEN Daisy Chain HD System – Sender Unit

GEFEN Daisy Chain HD System – Sender Unit

Distribute video to multiple displays in series using Video Over IP techniques with Gefen’s new Daisy Chain HD System. Connect up to 30 displays using CAT-5e cables in a Daisy Chain mode going from one display to the next, and up to 100 displays when using a combination of Daisy Chaining and Tree Topology distribution. The system utilizes three modules: The Sender, which connects to the HD source, the Splitter module, which connects to the Sender unit using a CAT-5e cable, and the Receiver unit which connects via CAT-5e cable to the Sender or Splitter, and via HDMI cable to the display. The Splitter unit also has an HDMI output to connect to a display. The Sender, Splitter, and Receiver units simplify extension of HDMI and control signals to create an elaborate network of displays with the ability to route IR-control back from each display location to the source. RS-232 commands can also be distributed over this daisy-chained network to execute commands such as turning all displays on or off. Each CAT-5e cable between the Source, Splitter, and Receiver units can be extended up to 330 (100 meters). Up to 100 Hi-Def displays at resolutions up to 1080p Full HD and 1920 x 1200 (WUXGA) are possible. A low latency of less than a frame assures that all displays reproduce audio and video in perfect sync. This easy-to-install and easy-toexpand system is a great fit for Digital Signage applications and also for commercial entertainment solutions (such as in bars, restaurants, and stores) that play back the same content using multiple screens.
