Wireless HDMI extender for presentations and events
The Gefen MD-05-01 transmits HDMI video and audio wirelessly up to 165 ft indoors or 328 ft in open space. It accepts a 4K input signal and delivers 1080p at 60 Hz output. The kit suits offices, classrooms, churches, trade shows and home movie nights where running cables is impractical.
Dual-band radio sustains link through walls
The system operates on 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz bands with automatic pairing and no Wi-Fi network required. Latency stays below 0.01 s for presentations and video playback. The connection remains stable through obstacles, though range and speed decrease when signals pass through walls. Gaming that demands the lowest latency is not recommended.
Receiver needs continuous power during use
The receiver must be powered while operating; most computers can supply the transmitter over HDMI, but an external charge may be needed if voltage drops. The units measure 14.33 in wide, 12.83 in high and 9.06 in deep. No drivers, apps or Bluetooth are involved, keeping daily setup to a simple plug-and-play routine.

Questions about this item
Does the dual-band 2.4/5.8 GHz wireless link add noticeable heat or power draw when streaming 1080P@60Hz all day?
The kit runs on low power from USB or a 5 V supply; the transmitter draws from the source device and the receiver needs its own charge, but neither unit produces significant heat during continuous 1080P@60Hz transmission.
What power sources must I already have to run the transmitter and receiver?
The transmitter can be powered by most computer HDMI ports, while the receiver requires a separate USB power adapter or power bank; both use standard 5 V USB connections.
Will the extender pass 4K HDR metadata through to my older 1080P projector?
The system decodes a 4K input signal but outputs only 1080P@60Hz, so HDR metadata is not passed to a 1080P display.
