The Gefen A/V Scaler Pro

The A/V Scaler Pro offers a plug and play solution for upscaling and switching between multiple analog and digital audio/video formats. Video is delivered in the HDMI format at 1080p full HD resolution.

The A/V Scaler Pro works with all of today’s audio/video sources including set-top boxes, DVD players and gaming consoles including the Xbox 360 and PS3.

It is designed to offer a simple, high quality method of integrating multiple A/V components and delivering 1080p full HD with supplemental audio for an engaging HDTV experience.

It supports one component source with analog audio, one composite or s-video source with analog audio, one DVI source with analog audio and two HDMI sources with digital audio. The audio from the analog sources is digitized in the HDMI format.

The DVI-I input with analog audio enables direct PC connections, supporting both VGA and DVI formats that can be used for analog or digital graphics card input. With support for analog stereo audio, the unit supports all multimedia applications. On-screen menus accessible through the IR remote allow for an easy system setup and image adjustment to accommodate different viewing modes and screen sizes. Discrete codes have been added to the IR to enable complete control over switching. An RS232 control port is included so each input can be separately accessed, if desired.

The A/V Scaler Pro is rack mountable, fitting in all standard racks, making it suitable for professional installations with rack ears or as a stand-alone solution. All connection ports are located on the backside for easy accessibility.

How It Works

Connect all audio and video source devices to the A/V Scaler Pro. Connect your HDMI display to the output on the rear of the unit. Power on the unit and use the included IR remote to navigate the GUI and change settings. All scaling and analog to digital format conversions are done automatically for superior audio and video output.
