Nice Brand Gefen Highlights 8K-Ready Signal Management Solutions Built for Simplicity and Reliability at InfoComm 2026
HDMI 2.1 Extender and EDID Detective Tools deliver high performance while streamlining installation in sophisticated commercial AV projects.
LAS VEGAS, NV — May 2026 — As AV systems grow more complex and formats continue to evolve, systems integrators are placing greater value on solutions that are not only high-performing, but also straightforward to deploy and maintain. At InfoComm 2026, Gefen, a Nice brand, is reinforcing that focus, leaning into its heritage of reliability and ease of configuration while introducing products designed for today’s high-performance, 8K-ready environments.
At Nice Booth #C9906, Gefen will showcase a suite of integration-focused solutions, including its HDMI 2.1 Extender with HDBaseT and 8K/30Hz support (GF-EXT-HD-HBT) and a family of EDID Detective tools for DisplayPort, USB-C, and HDMI. Together, these solutions are engineered to simplify installation while ensuring consistent, reliable signal performance across increasingly complex projects involving multiple displays. With support of bandwidth-intensive, high-resolution video up to 8K, they provide integrators a future-ready foundation for deployments across a wide range of commercial environments, including entertainment venues, houses of worship, higher education, medical facilities, stadiums, and large-scale video wall applications.
