Demonstrating its commitment to provide commercial integrators with a complete
range of high performance signal distribution solutions, Gefen from Core Brands
today introduced the EXT-DP-4K600-1SC extender that enables integrators to place
4K 600 MHz DisplayPort 1.2 sources and displays up to 660 feet apart with full
optical isolation. The introduction was made at ISE 2017 in Core Brands Stand 1-
N53 at the RAI Convention Centre in Amsterdam.

“Gefen is committed to manufacturing products that allow commercial integrators to
utilize the industry’s most popular signal standards,’ Gefen Product Manager Jason
Fitzgerald said. “In many commercial applications, particularly in the medical field,
DisplayPort has become the preferred connector and signal transport. We have
introduced the new EXT-DP-4K600-1SC to deliver the full bandwidth and
uncompromising quality that the DisplayPort 1.2 signal demands.’

The EXT-DP-4K600-1SC extends HDCP 2.2, HDCP 1.4, and DPCP compliant
DisplayPort 600 MHz 4K audio/video over fibre. WQUXGA (3840 x 2400), 4K Ultra
HD (3840 x 2160), and 4K Cinema – DCI (4096 x 2160), up to 60 Hz frame rate and
4:4:4 Chroma sub-sampling are supported. The AV signal can be extended up to 200
meters, or 660 feet, over a single strand of SC-terminated 50/125 µm OM3 or
better multi-mode fibre-optic cable.

The EXT-DP-4K600-1SC provides full electrical isolation between the Sender and the
Receiver, meeting the stringent safety and EMC requirements for critical
applications. When used with a pair of Gefen EXT-PS52AU-M-1.3-6-AL power
supplies (available separately), this extender is compliant with medical safety and
EMC standards EN 60601-1 and EN 60601-1-2. The EXT-DP-4K600-1SC can be
powered from sources and displays featuring powered USB ports, or by using
external power supplies.

“This product is ideal for applications such as medical imaging, military control
rooms, flight simulators, signage, gaming and casinos, as well as any project where
4K full-bandwidth uncompressed video over long distances or end-to-end electrical
isolation is essential,’ Fitzgerald emphasized.

For most applications, the Sender and Receiver are plug-and-play and will work
without any set-up. In cases where signal optimization becomes necessary due to
special requirements of a source and or a display, both units feature easy-to-use EQ
switches. The EXT-DP-4K600-1SC supports popular and useful DisplayPort
technologies such as multi-streaming (connecting multiple daisy-chained displays to
one DisplayPort output) and auxiliary channel (transporting data and controls along
with the AV signal). Additionally, compact enclosures are easy to install and can be
hidden away; their sturdy metal enclosures help provide further immunity against
Electro-Magnetic Interference (EMI) and radiated noise (RFI).

“Gefen has always customized the application of its technology to meet the needs of
specific vertical markets, and our new DisplayPort extender reaffirms our
commitment to keep doing so today and in the future,’ Fitzgerald concluded. “We
are proud to offer our customers an extender solution that truly supports the full
bandwidth for 4K 60 Hz 4:4:4 (600 MHz) and is fully compliant with the DisplayPort
1.2 standard.’

The Gefen EXT-DP-4K600-1SC is available now, and has an MSRP of US$2,199. For
