INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of the TV Multi Format Switcher. Your
complete satisfaction is very important to us.
Gefen
Gefen delivers innovative, progressive computer and electronics add-on solutions
that harness integration, extension, distribution and conversion technologies.
Gefen’s reliable, plug-and-play products supplement cross-platform computer
systems, professional audio/video environments and HDTV systems of all sizes
with hard-working solutions that are easy to implement and simple to operate.
The Rack-mountable TV Multi Format Switcher allows you to view a wide
variety of analog and digital SD and HD video sources with audio at resolutions
up to 1080p -- all on one HDMI-compliant display. Anything from computers,
set-top boxes, satellite boxes, security cameras, Blu-ray and DVD players to the
next generation of hi-def gaming consoles (including the Xbox 360 and PS3)
can share a single HDMI display. Superior A/V signal quality is insured by the
3D comb lter and 3D noise reduction circuitry. The audio delay feature and
de-interlacing feature for 480i sources improves Standard-De nition console
gaming.
The Multi Format Switcher supports 2 Component, 2 Composite, 2 S-Video, and
1 VGA input source -- each with L/R analog audio in up to 2 channels. 2 HDMI
sources are also supported with embedded digital audio at up to 7.1 channels.
(The number of audio channels present in the HDMI output signal will depend on
what kind of audio is input). Any A/V source can be selected for viewing at any
time using the included IR remote or the front-panel A/V source selector buttons.
How It Works
Audio/video sources connect to the TV Multi Format Switcher on its inputs. An
HDMI-compliant display is connected to the HDMI output. The 5V DC power
supply is connected to the TV Multi Format Switcher. The currently selected
video source will appear on the output display in vibrant color.
Note: Only A/V source switching (not scaling) is performed with this product.
Therefore, when selecting the VGA input source you may encounter slight
shifts of the output image. Please consult your graphics card and/or display
documentation for options that will allow adjusting of the image position. Any of
our versatile scalers can be easily added at the HDMI output of this unit, such as
our GefenTV 1080P HDMI Scaler (GTV-HDMI-1080PS, available separately).
