Gefen announced a new line of add-on HDTV products yesterday called the Gefen TV product line. This new line is based on Gefen’s professional series solutions but is packaged differently and is designed for home users.

One of the first products to come out as part of the Gefen TV product line is the Gefen TV Switcher. This box (which is seems to be designed to match either an Apple TV or a Mac mini) is basically a four port HDMI switch – allowing you to connect various HDMI enabled devices to a single display or projector. The unit allows you to easily switch between the four sources or you can allow it to automatically switch to the recently powered on device. It’s HDMI version 1.3 compliant, HDCP compliant and supports HDMI pass through.  The switch measures 6.9 x 2.1 x 6.9 inches and weighs 6 lbs.

The product comes with the switch box, a RMT-4IR remote control, four 6 foot HDMI cables (very nice addition here), a 5VDC power supply, as well as a user manual.  The Gefen TV Switcher has an MSRP of $199.

You can expect to see additional Gefen TV products down the road including the SD and HD Personal Video Recorders.
