The Gefen EXT-AVSCALER-PRO is a high-performance video scaler designed for professional audio-visual applications. Its primary function is to scale video signals, providing the ability to convert various resolutions seamlessly while maintaining the highest quality. The device supports numerous input sources and output resolutions, making it versatile for different setups, from corporate environments to home theaters.

One of the standout features of the EXT-AVSCALER-PRO is its capability to handle multiple video formats.
