DIGITAL VIDEO CABLE EXTENSION MADE EASY WITH A ONE BOX SOLUTION FROM GEFEN
WOODLAND HILLS, CA =96 Gefen today announced the release of its DVI Booster,
a small unit that corrects video signal degradation that occurs over
stretches of DVI copper cables used to extend a display away from its high
definition source.
High definition video transmitted through DVI cables can break down beyond
15 feet in distance and all DVI copper cables experience this problem when
used at resolutions of 1080i or higher.
=93With advance cabling and enhancement techniques using higher gauge copper
cables, an additional distance of 30 to 50 feet may be achieved, but not
always with 100 percent success,=94 explained Hagai Gefen, president. =93The
DVI Booster guarantees a 100 percent accurate reproduction of the image at
any resolution.=94
In operation, the DVI Booster sits between the DVI copper cable and the
display, correcting faults in the digital video it receives from the cable
before passing it through to the display.
The DVI Booster has proven effective in not only correcting cable faults
from the video it receives, but also propelling the fixed signal an
additional distance.
The DVI Booster (MSRP $249) works with HDCP compliant content and DVI
displays and cables. It may be purchased online at www.gefen.com or though
a Gefen reseller.
