Gefen release Firewire Extender 800 solution

Gefen has announced the release of its new Firewire Extender 800, a solution that extends computer generated video for remote powered performance.
It works through a sender and receiver system that connects the local computer to the remote device with multimode fibre optics cables.
The Firewire Extender 800 sends large amounts of data speedily at rates up to 800 megabytes per second. This enables equipment to operate as if connected locally when anywhere within a 300 foot (100 metre) distance from the source.
Without an extender Firewire can only work reliably over cable lengths of around 15 feet without seeing some type of signal degradation.
Gefen say that the use of fibre optics cabling combined with innovative data packaging is what allows Firewire devices to perform as if connected directly to the source.
Designed for professional studio application and the prosumer market, Gefen's Firewire Extender 800 is currently available to order through www.gefen.com or from Gefen resellers.
Gefen provides consumer electronics and audio/video connectivity solutions with multi-platform extension, switching, distribution and conversion capabilities.
Products support HD digital video, analogue video and digital and analogue audio using various interfaces such as HDMI, DVI, dual link DVI, HD-SDI, SDI, VGA, USB, Firewire and RS-232.
A selection of cabling is also available through Gefen, for information visit www.gefen.com.
