INTRODUCTIO

omplete satisfaction is very important to us.
efen
efen delivers innovative, progressive computer and electronics add-on solutions

How It Works
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
eneration of hi-def gaming consoles (including the Xbox 360 and PS3) can
hare a single HDMI-compliant display. Superior A/V signal quality is insured by
the 3D comb fi lter and 3D noise reduction circuitry. The audio delay feature and
de-interlacing feature for 480i sources improves Standard-Defi nition console
aming.
The TV Multi Format Switcher supports 2 Component, 2 Composite, 2 S-Video,
and 1 VGA source -- each with L/R analog audio in up to 2 channels. 3 HDMI
ources 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 an
time using the included IR remote or the front-panel selector buttons.
How It Works
Audio/video sources connect to the TV Multi Format Switcher on its inputs. An
DMI-compliant display is connected to the HDMI output. The 5V DC power
upply 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
hifts 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).
