[edit] GEFEN SYSTEMS
NAB 2007 Entry - Two new video scalers from connectivity solutions provider Gefen demonstrate their ability to connect different video formats and output scalable, high definition video resolutions.
The HDMI to HD-SDI Scaler connects consumer HDMI audio/video sources to HD-SDI displays for a seamless integration of diverse components.
The HD-SDI to HDMI Scaler connects broadcast video sources to HDMI displays, providing real-world testing of quality and performance.
Both Scalers support all standard and high definition resolutions up to 1080p in multiple broadcast formats. Each offers a cost-effective and simple method of integrating consumer video sources and displays in studio production work and testing.
The Scalers' simple, plug and play method of installation is supplemented by a range of features that guarantee the best visual performance with no signal dropouts or delays. These include video de-interlacing with edge interpolation, advanced noise reduction, detail enhancements and color correction. Users are able to further tweak video with brightness and gamma selections. [4]

GEFEN SYSTEMS EX-TEND-IT - VGA to ADC conversion box - plugs in to the VGA output on the Apple G series to enable use of Apple displays [5]
GEFEN SYSTEMS DVI-1000 HD - Sends HD signals any length up to 1640ft from the source to the display using fiber optics [6]
GEFEN SYSTEMS - Home Theater Scaler Plus and the HDMI Scaler. Both enable the up/down scaling of high definition video signals in all resolutions from 480i to 1080p while supporting the embedded audio in the HDMI signal.
The Home Theater Scaler Plus, however, is differentiated by its unique assortment of offerings. It comes with four inputs in different formats: two HDMI, one component with digital audio and one composite/s-video with analogue audio. It performs seamless source switching among all four inputs, controlled by IR remote, allowing instant access to multiple sources from the same display.
Component and composite/s-video inputs are converted to the HDMI format with the audio embedded in the same signal. This enables the plug and play connection of different formats and an easy method of integrating old and new equipment. A unique feature of this scaler is the independent audio output in both analogue mini-stereo and digital TOSlink formats, alongside the HDMI audio/video output.
High definition resolutions can be tweaked using the Home Theater Scaler Plus in order to achieve the best imagery possible, including noise reduction, audio lip synching and color correction features.
Gefen’s HDMI Scaler, on the other hand, offers a simple system that can synchronize and scale high definition resolutions from one HDMI source to one HDMI display. It’s particularly useful when integrating equipment with different native resolutions or achieving a true 1080p output. It offers the same features for image quality and refinement including color corrections, deinterlacing, noise reduction and audio lip synching.
The ability to scale resolutions up and down ensures a convenience method of securing pure high definition video for a vibrant HDTV experience.
