That <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/20/gefen-wireless-usb-hub-gets-a-street-date/">wireless USB hub</a> you peeked this morning was just the calm before the storm, as <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/Gefen/">Gefen</a> has now unveiled a smorgasbord of HD converters, extenders, and other accessories that you just can't do without. Up first is the $249 Component + Digital Audio to HDMI Adapter, which pipes that recently one-upped component and Toslink connection into a single <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/HDMI/">HDMI</a> cable. Next, it looks like Gefen is expanding its <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/10/gefen-shows-off-hd-pvrs-that-export-to-usb-drives/">PVR lineup</a> with an HD iteration that supports HDMI and is capable of recording HDCP-compliant sources in <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/1080p/">1080p</a>. Moving on, you'll find a 4x4 HDMI CAT5 Matrix to string your HDMI signals along up to 200-feet using vanilla CAT5 cabling, and the $399 Component Audio Extender enables nearly any audio source to be transferred 330-feet away over Ethernet. Last (but certainly not least), the $699 Wireless HDMI Extender delivers a plug 'n play method of extending HDMI signals up to 33-feet over the air with no loss in quality. Unsurprisingly, Gefen's latest niche convenience products won't enter your AV system without a premium, so be sure and avoid the gallery below if you're already being negatively tempted to pick something up.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.gefen.com/kvm/product.jsp?prod_id=4457">Read</a> - Component + Digital Audio to HDMI Adapter<br /><a href="http://www.gefen.com/kvm/news/INFOCOMM-2007-02.jsp">Read</a> - Personal Video Recorders<br /><a href="http://www.gefen.com/kvm/news/INFOCOMM-2007-03.jsp">Read</a> - 4x4 HDMI CAT5 Matrix<br /><a href="http://www.gefen.com/kvm/product.jsp?prod_id=4141">Read</a> - Component Audio Extender<br /><a href="http://www.gefen.com/kvm/product.jsp?prod_id=4318">Read</a> - Wireless HDMI Extender<h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"></h6><a href="http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/06/20/gefen-goes-wild-extenders-hd-pvrs-and-wireless-hdmi/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://www.engadgethd.com/forward/922659/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a> | <a href="http://www.technorati.com/cosmos/search.html?rank=&fc=1&url=http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/06/20/gefen-goes-wild-extenders-hd-pvrs-and-wireless-hdmi/" title="Linking Blogs">Linking Blogs</a> | <a href="http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/06/20/gefen-goes-wild-extenders-hd-pvrs-and-wireless-hdmi/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a><br /><br /><p><map name="google_ad_map_65-922659"><area shape="rect" href="http://imageads.googleadservices.com/pagead/imgclick/65-922659?pos=0" coords="1,2,367,28" /><area shape="rect" href="http://services.google.com/feedback/abg" coords="384,10,453,23" /></map><img usemap="#google_ad_map_65-922659" border="0" src="http://imageads.googleadservices.com/pagead/ads?format=468x30_aff_img&client=ca-aol_weblogs_xml&channel=Engadget_Mobile_07_RSS&output=png&cuid=65-922659&url=http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/06/20/gefen-goes-wild-extenders-hd-pvrs-and-wireless-hdmi/" /></p>
