Gefen 1:8 HDMI Cat5 Distribution Amplifier Reviews - EXT-HDMI-CAT5-148

Pros: Does the stated job very well, beautiful picture at 1080p. Very inexpensive compared to other products that do the same. Company support site has Q&A area, _very_ helpful resource.

Cons: Manual shipped not up to date, need to go to web site to download the current manual. Power loss on the remotes can cause the displays to fail when playing 1080p Blue Ray disks - until an orderly power cycle is completed. Getting into the amplifer could be easier, need to take every black screw and the bottom row of cable strain releif posts out to get inside. Had to turn on switch 2 in order to play Blue Ray disks on more than three displays.

Other Comments: Used for a digital signage application. Lost many hours trying to figure out why it would only play on 3 TV's due to documents shipped with the product not being current or complete. The document on the web site was helpful and accurate.
