About Gefen Booster for HDMI with EDID Detective

Overcome the limitations of standard HDMI cables with the Gefen Booster for HDMI with EDID Detective. This advanced device is designed to extend HDMI over copper cables, maintaining synchronization between sources and displays for up to 150 feet (45 meters) at 1080p Full HD resolution, and up to 115 feet (35 meters) at 4K x 2K Ultra HD resolution.

The Gefen Booster utilizes EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) technology, a vital component in HDTV and Ultra HD displays. EDID ensures that the connected Hi-Def source transmits compatible audio and video signals. However, in certain situations, this data can be lost, leading to incorrect signals or a complete loss of audio and/or video.

To counter this, the Gefen Booster incorporates DDC re-clocking technology, enhancing the reliability of HDCP handshaking. This ensures that the Hi-Def source consistently receives the correct EDID.

The Gefen Booster also offers the ability to manipulate and modify the EDID data using the Gefen EDID Tool+ PC software or terminal emulation via USB. This feature allows installers to meet specific installation requirements and resolve system-specific compatibility issues.

The Gefen Booster for HDMI with EDID Detective is designed for easy programming and installation. It supports resolutions up to Ultra HD 4K x 2K (3840 x 2160 at 30Hz), 1080p Full HD, and 2048 x 1536 (QXGA). It also supports a range of HDMI features including HDCP, 12-bit Deep Color, LPCM 7.1 audio, Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus, and DTS-HD Master Audio, 3DTV pass-through, Lip-Sync pass-through, and CEC pass-through.

With a USB port for advanced programming of features such as video equalization, pre-emphasis, and EDID management, the Gefen Booster is a versatile tool for any HDMI setup. It also offers six pre-programmed EDID profiles and six user-programmable EDID banks for copying/uploading EDIDs.

Compact and portable, the Gefen Booster for HDMI with EDID Detective is a powerful solution for extending HDMI over copper cables, ensuring optimal audio and video performance in any setting.
