The next generation of display technology demands a next-generation extension backbone. The Gefen GF-EXT-HD-HBT is an advanced HDBaseT and HDMI 2.1 compatible extender designed to deliver visually lossless compression up to 295ft/90 meters at 8K60Hz 4:2:0/4K120Hz; 4K60Hz 4:4:4 up to 393ft/120 meters; and 1080p@60 up to 492ft/150 meters over a single CAT cable. Engineered to seamlessly handle the latest HDR standards, including HDR10+, Dolby Vision, and HLG, and fully compliant with HDCP 2.3, this extender ensures secure, flawless visual performance. Built for AV professionals who require extreme distance without compromising signal fidelity, the GF-EXT-HD-HBT provides the bandwidth, control, and stability that modern 8K environments demand.
Next-Level Visual Fidelity
Purpose-built for 8K workflows in medical imaging, simulation, and high-end home cinema environments where perfectly preserved visual data is critical.
High-Bandwidth Endurance
Capable of handling up to 40 Gbps of video throughput using visually lossless compression, guaranteeing the exact signal sent from the source reaches the display intact.
Intelligent Power and Thermal Control
Constructed with efficient internal components and a precision-engineered enclosure to prevent signal degradation resulting from heat buildup.
Installation Agility
Features a local HDMI loop-out on the transmitter base, allowing for instant, real-time signal verification during complex commissioning or live events.
Eco-Minded Construction
Environmentally conscious design, packaged with recyclable materials, and engineered for exceptionally low idle power draw without sacrificing operational performance.
How It Works
Simply connect your HDMI source to the Transmitter (TX) and your display to the Receiver (RX). A single CAT5e/6/6a cable bridges the two units, sending visually lossless ultra-high-definition video across standard cabling infrastructures. System integration is further streamlined via Power over Cable (PoC), requiring only a single power supply to drive both the transmitter and receiver. Integrated RS-232, bi-directional IR ports, and built-in EDID management give installers ultimate control and signal verification flexibility directly from the equipment rack.
Ideal for..
• AV Professionals and System Integrators: Experts who are designing and installing complex routing systems and need to send ultra-high-definition video over extreme distances without compromising signal integrity or stability.
• Medical Imaging Facilities: Hospitals and clinics that rely on 8K workflows where perfectly preserved, uncompressed visual data is critical for accurate diagnostics.
• Advanced Simulation Centers: Environments such as flight or driving simulators that require high-bandwidth endurance, 4K at 120Hz refresh rates, and zero latency to maintain realism.
• High-End Home Cinema Installers: Custom residential integrators aiming to deliver pristine picture quality supporting the latest visual standards like Dolby Vision, HDR10+, and HLG.
• Command and Control Rooms: Large-scale commercial or government infrastructures that demand 24/7 reliability, real-time signal testing (via the HDMI loop-out), and centralized RS-232 and IR control.
System Requirements: CAT5e, CAT6, or CAT6a Cabling (sold separately).
