The Gefen EXT-GAVA Audio / Video Automation System is a new way to control your home, office, conference room, or commercial facilities.

This new system works in conjunction with the Gefen PACS (Professional Automation Control System) and Mini-PACS products to control all key audio/video features in a home or commercial environment, as well as automation of lighting, temperature, window shades and more over the local area network.

In a typical home entertainment scenario, users have multiple sources, such as Blu-ray players, iTunes, satellite or cable set-top boxes, and more, all connected in a system integrated with one or more displays in one or more rooms.

A single Gefen GAVA System Controller allows multiple users to control equipment in multiple rooms simultaneously, in full synchronization with two-way feedback.

An Innovative System

What makes the Gefen GAVA System unique is its ability to control applications on a home or business network rather than on a stand-alone controller with dedicated cabling. This makes it ideal for retrofit or distributed systems.

Not only that, the  EXT-GAVA has the ability to connect over your network with computers (Mac or PC) running iTunes, with display of Cover Art and song metadata.

The GAVA automation system processor is specifically designed to allow control through a browser interface that works with all smartphones and tablets today. It is optimized for the iPad, iPod touch, and Android tablets, as well as other smartphones and tablets with a Web browser.

 EXT-GAVA is designed for quick installation- only a single cable is needed, and the Configuration Wizard allows a system to be installed and configured in less than half an hour!
