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.
