Why GefenToolBox?

The GefenToolBox line offers portable and easy-to-install solutions for common A/V system 

integration setups using HDMI connectivity. GefenToolBox products are wall-mountable and 

small in size. GefenToolBox products are easily transported in the field and are ready for 

immediate and simple installations in working environments.   These products come fin-

ished in glossy black or ivory to blend in with either a white wall of black cabinet.

 

The GefenToolBox High Definition 1080p Scaler

The GefenToolBox High Definition 1080p Scaler allows you to scale one HDMI input to one 

HDMI output with up to 1080p Full HD and Deep Color. This unit can vastly improve the 

quality of the image by outputting the video to the native resolution of the display, bypassing 

the display’s internal scaler. Video can be manually scaled up and down in all resolutions 

up to 1080p Full HD.

This product can also be used to downscale, making it ideal for distributing a Hi-Def signal 

to multiple displays that do not support the same maximum resolutions in an HDMI distribu-

tion system, while still showing maximum resolution on the higher-definition displays. It can 

also be used for DVI signals with appropriate adapters.

The GefenToolBox High Definition 1080p Scaler is conveniently wall-mountable so it can be 

easily installed behind the display. This Scaler offers RS-232 control and is field-upgrade-

able.

How It Works

Use the included HDMI cable to connect the source to the High Definition 1080p Scaler. 

Connect the display to the Scaler using an HDMI cable. Connect an optical and / or coax 

audio cable from the source to the Scaler. Another set of optical and / or coax audio cables 

can be connected to an A/V receiver or amplifier. Connect the 5V DC locking power supply 

to the Scaler and connect the power cord to an available electrical outlet. Select the audio 

input by using the On-Screen Display with the front panel buttons or the included IR remote 

control.
