ToolBox High Definition 1080p HDMI Video Scaler (GTB-HD-1080PS-BLK)

GTB-HD-1080PS-BLK

The Gefen ToolBox High Definition 1080p Scaler is a versatile video processor that allows you to upscale or downscale a single HDMI or DVI source to a pristine HDMI output. It is engineered to deliver optimal image quality by bypassing a display's internal scaler and outputting video perfectly matched to the display's native resolution, supporting up to 1080p Full HD and Deep Color. This unit is ideal for professional AV systems, such as those using an HDMI matrix with multiple displays that have different resolution capabilities. By automatically detecting the display's maximum resolution or allowing for manual adjustments, the scaler ensures a reliable, high-quality video signal is delivered across any installation.

Key Features

Versatile Video Scaling: Upscale or downscale an HDMI or DVI input to match the native resolution of the connected display , supporting output resolutions up to 1080p Full HD and 2K.

Advanced Video Processing: Features a proprietary Advanced Color Engine for brilliant color, intensified contrast, and vivid skin tones. The unit also includes a high-performance frame rate conversion engine , 3D noise reduction , and automatic 3:2 and 2:2 pull-down detection for optimized video quality.

 

Flexible Audio Integration: Allows for selectable audio input from HDMI, TOSLINK, or S/PDIF sources. It supports high bit-rate audio, Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD Master Audio, and up to eight channels of LPCM via HDMI. A digital audio delay feature is included to ensure proper audio and video timing.

How It Works

To operate the Gefen ToolBox High Definition 1080p Scaler, connect your HDMI or DVI source to the unit's input and connect the HDMI output to your destination display or distribution system. For audio, you can use the embedded HDMI audio or connect a separate digital audio source via the TOSLINK or S/PDIF ports. The scaler then intelligently processes the signal, automatically detecting the maximum resolution of the connected display and scaling the video to match it perfectly, up to 1080p Full HD. This function bypasses the display's internal scaler, which can often be of lower quality, to deliver the best possible image. This makes the unit an ideal problem-solver in complex setups, such as a matrix system sending one source to multiple displays that do not share the same maximum resolution.
