Ultra High Definition TV aka 4K or UHDTV hardwares from Gefen forge the future.

Posted on by Vlad Demydov

Ultra High Definition television, also known as 4K or UHDTV, is starting to become the new standard that greatly enhances the picture quality and detail of 1080p HD. The trend is no longer buying larger and larger displays, but demand for higher picture resolution, and then larger displays. Ultra High Definition creates a movie theater quality experience right in your living room.

Introducing  the Gefen ToolBox 1:2 Splitter for HDMI 4Kx2K. This Gefen GTB-HD4K2K-142-BLK distributes one Ultra Hi-Def A/V source to two Ultra HD displays simultaneously, without loss of quality or resolution. It works with any Ultra Hi-Def Hi source and supports resolutions up to 4K x 2K (3840 x 2160). This next generation of Ultra High Definition hardware from Gefen features Fast Switching Technology, and supports HDCP, Deep Color, 3DTV pass-through, and lossless audio formats such as Dolby® TrueHD and DTS-HD® Master Audio™. The units come in a white (GTB-HD4K2K-142) or black (GTB-HD4K2K-142-BLK) matte finish.

The Gefen ToolBox Splitter also comes in 1:4 and 1:8. These units are ideal for retail establishments, sports bars, schools, museums, hospitals, hotel lobbies and any other installations where Ultra High Definition HDCP-compliant AV content from an HDMI source needs to be displayed simultaneously on up to 2, 4 or 8 Ultra HD displays.

Expanded definition offers exciting possibilities for home or business applications. The high resolution of UltraHD increases picture quality in large displays, enabling you to get closer without noticing pixels. UltraHD can also improve small displays, providing you with more definition in the same sized screen. UltraHD is the next logical step in the progression of display standards, and will be around for a long time.
