Venues depend on AV infrastructure that can scale from high-capacity arenas to mobile pop-up installations. Gefen delivers low-latency, production-ready signal distribution that keeps fans, audiences, and crews connected—no matter the size, setting, or schedule. Trusted in the world’s top major sports venues and live events, Gefen is built for demanding performance environments where AV downtime is not an option.


Applications

AV Distribution at Venue Scale

Gefen powers massive AV deployments in some of the world’s largest sports and entertainment venues—delivering synchronized video to hundreds of screens across suites, concourses, control rooms, and broadcast booths. With ultra-low latency AV over IP, matrix switching, and resilient signal routing, Gefen ensures fans never miss a moment, and staff have the real-time visibility they need to operate smoothly.

Multi-Zone AV for Houses of Worship

Worship facilities often need to deliver customized content to multiple zones—from sanctuaries and overflow rooms to lobbies and classrooms. Gefen solutions make it easy to route video and audio to different areas without re-cabling, enabling dynamic experiences that support worship, education, and community events alike.

Portable AV for Touring & Events

Event production teams need gear that’s easy to deploy, transport, and trust. Gefen offers compact switchers and extenders purpose-built for fast setup and teardown. Whether it’s a touring concert, temporary installation, or mobile studio, these systems provide plug-and-play performance without compromising AV quality.

AV Switching for Multi-Sized Venues

In auditoriums, event spaces, and conference centers, fast and flexible signal switching is critical. Gefen matrix switchers allow operators to instantly change sources across projectors, LED walls, or presentation monitors—maintaining seamless transitions and supporting any event type without technical delays or disruptions.
