Gefen will introduce the FireWire Extender 800 at NAB2005.

FireWire Extender 800 extends computer-generated video for remote powered performance by using a sender and receiver system that connects the local computer to the remote device with multimode fiber optic cables. It sends large amounts of data at rates up to 800 MBps, enabling equipment to operate as if connected locally when anywhere within a 300-foot (100 meter) distance from the source.

"Without this type of system, FireWire can only be extended about 15 feet without seeing some type of degradation, either in time lag or video image," said Hagai Gefen, president of Gefen.

Gefen will be in Booth SL501.

The HDTV Extender has two versions: a DVI (digital video interface) model for professional

At IBC2008, Gefen will introduce two new extenders that allow users to transmit HD video at long distances via DVI.

The units come with two DVI connectors that support the extension of the two digital displays. Other features include a USB port,

Gefen recently launched the ex-tend it HDMI-1000 HD that sends HD video up to 300 feet from the source to an HDTV monitor.

Two new KVM (keyboard, video, mouse) extenders from Gefen support digital video displays equipped with DVI-plus companion peripherals, in addition to a standard keyboard and mouse.

The new Gefen device eliminates cables for up to four USB 2.0 peripherals, including audio, across 100ft spans.

Gefen has created a new extender with core USB technology that enables one CAT5 cable to carry signals for USB and monitor peripherals. By cutting down on the number of cables, installation time and cost can be reduced. The new ex-tend-it CAT5-1000 could be useful to people who want to operate a computer from a remote

Getting HD from here to there without noticeable degradation is not as simple as it may appear to non-engineers. The ex-tend-it DVI/RS-232 Extender from Gefen can now provide a plug-and-play method of sending HD video up to 150 feet over CAT-5 cables. Equipped with both DVI and RS-232 ports, the new extender suppor
