The Gefen Pro 32x32 modular matrix with HDMI with HDCP and Gefen FST provides system integrators with a professional solution that routes 32 HDMI sources to any of the 32 outputs, supporting resolutions up to 1080P Full HD. The additional single HDMI output offers convenient local monitoring of any of the 32 sources. The modular design of the matrix provides four output slots to accommodate a combination of HDMI and ELR output cards. This feature allows the Gefen Pro 32x32 modular matrix to function as a matrix as well as an HDBaseT® extender with the use of Gefen's ELR output cards. With the ELR output cards, the matrix has a Bi-Directional IR feature that can route IR to and from the display locations to the rack. This feature allows the control of the sources from each display location as well as each display from the rack location. The front panel LCD displays the routing status for each HDCP-compliant HDMI source. You can control the matrix by using the front panel push-buttons, IR remote control, RS-232 interface devices, or with IP control using the built-in web server, Telnet, and UDP. Hot-swappable dual redundant power supplies provide the matrix with 24/7 operation, ease of servicing, and zero down-time required for professional.

Gefen FST

Fast switching technology (FST) is a Gefen software implementation for HDMI products. FST was created to improve the lengthy HDMI authentication process based on the HDMI and HDCP specifications.

How It Works

Connect the 32 Hi-Def sources with HDMI cable to the 32 inputs of the matrix. From the HDMI output cards connect directly to 32 HDTV displays using HDMI cables. From the ELR output cards, run 32 CAT-5e cables up to 330 feet(100 meters) and connect them to the Receiver units. The power for the ELR-POL Receivers comes from the matrix over the same CAT-5e cable. No external power supply is required. The Bi-Directional IR feature allows the user to control the Matrix and the sources in the rack (head-end) using IR from the display location, and allows the IR control of each display from the matrix location. To control your matrix and sources from the display location, insert the Gefen EXT-RMT-EXTIRN IR extender into the IR Ext jack of the receiver and connect a Gefen EXT-IREMIT IR emitter from the matrix IR Out, and affix the emitter to the IR window of the source. You can also control the matrix by pointing the IR remote control
