Gefen Now Shipping Two New 4K Ultra HD Extenders (GTB-UHD600-HBT and GTB-UHD600-HBTL) That Can Extend Full Bandwidth 600 MHz HDMI 2.0 Over Category Cabling

The GTB-UHD600-HBT and GTB-UHD600-HBTL help overcome the bandwidth limitations of HDBaseT™. The new 4K extenders employ Gefen’s proprietary compression technology to extend the full 18.2 Gbps bandwidth and 600 MHz TMDS Clock of HDMI 2.0, in resolutions up to 4096×2160 at 60Hz and 4:4:4 Chroma subsampling.

The new extenders are capable of 4K Ultra HD 60 Hz 4:4:4 (600 MHz) extension. GTB-UHD600-HBT has an extension range up to 80 meters at 4K and 100 meters at 1080p, while the GTB-UHD600-HBTL is rated up to 40 meters at 4K and 60 meters at 1080p. Integral features of HDMI 2.0, such as HDR-10 and Dolby Vision™, are also carried along the single CAT-5 or CAT-6 cable that links the sender and receiver units. Both products are capable of extending 2-way IR. The GTB-UHD600-HBT also supports RS-232 extension for seamless integration of control signals. Gefen’s priopertary Bi-Directional POL (Power over Link) sends power from Sender to Receiver or Receiver to Sender over the link cable, offering the maximum level of flexibility in choosing how each unit is powered. Additionally, integration with Gefen’s Syner-G™ software allows for easy firmware updates.
