Gefen has made available two new Wireless VGA Extenders designed to reduce the need for cabling, according to the company. Aimed at rental, staging, presentation, digital signage, and residential applications, the Wireless VGA Extenders come in Long Range and Short Range versions.

The GefenTV Wireless VGA Extender LR delivers video with analog L/R audio up to 100 feet, offering users the ability to access multiple Wi-Fi channels for the best possible signal transmission. Equipped with three small antennas on its sender and receiver units, the company says the system is simple to install because it requires no additional hardware or software. The sender unit connects to the video source and the extender connects to the extended display. Both units are powered.

The GefenTV Wireless VGA Extender SR delivers video with analog L/R audio up to 30 feet, does not require line of sight transmission, and uses internal antennae to send and receive video signals.

"This new version is intended for presentations, and allows a completely wireless connection between any laptop computer using the computer's internal Wi-Fi technology, and a projector connected to the Gefen receiver," said Hagai Gefen, president and CEO of Gefen, in a statement.

Both ranges of the Wireless VGA Extender are currently available with Gefen's standard two-year warranty.
