Description

Switch Audio, Video, and USB with Ease

Lightware’s revolutionary GEMINI GVN 1Gb AV-over-IP extender family, where scalability, flexibility, and rapid deployment take center stage. Designed to meet the demands of modern audiovisual environments, the GEMINI GVN is a virtual matrix system that seamlessly switches audio, video, and USB transmission with unparalleled ease.

Optimize Performance

At the heart of the GEMINI GVN system is the Matrix Management Unit (MMU) device, providing full functionality from a centralized control point, eliminating the need for individual endpoint configurations. With seamless switching capabilities, users can effortlessly manage their audiovisual setup for optimal performance.

Extend Video for Maximum Flexibility

Equipped with Lightware’s Advanced EDID Management system, the GEMINI GVN ensures that the decoders are capable of scaling HDMI 2.0 video signals up to a maximum resolution of 4K UHD @ 60 Hz either on CAT (up to 100m) or on fiber optics (single mode up to 80km, multimode up to 550m) with HDR, HDR+, and Dolby Vision support.

Boost Connectivity

Supporting RS-232 control channel, the GEMINI GVN offers enhanced control options for a seamless user experience. The built-in USB ports support K+M functionality and can handle USB 2.0 touch screen, webcam, mass storage, further enhancing connectivity and versatility.

Ensure Secure Content Transmission

Compliant with HDCP standards, the GEMINI GVN guarantees secure content transmission. With support for the DHCP network management protocol, configuration and management become effortless, simplifying system integration.

Aligned with Green Policy

The TX device utilizes PoE (IEEE 802.3af) remote power supply, while the RX requires PoE+, providing efficient power delivery for seamless operation. As part of our commitment to sustainability, no power supply is included, but available separately if needed, aligning with our green policy.

Reduce Energy Costs

Operating on a 1G Ethernet network, the GEMINI GVN boasts low power consumption (~10W), reducing energy costs and environmental impact. Additionally, our commitment to sustainability extends to our packaging, which is made from paper-based materials, further minimizing our ecological footprint.
