DENVER (9/05/07) – Wireworld has introduced an HDMI Repeater module, capable of increasing the distance HDMI signals can be transmitted without degrading image or sound quality. The unit is simple to install, and uses the HDMI cable's internal 5-volt power line, eliminating the need for additional power connections.

The Wireworld HDMI repeater installs at the end of a long HDMI cable run, refreshing the signal for transmission through a second cable - effectively doubling the possible transmission distances to remote components such as at the projector in a front projection home theater system. The unit's proprietary circuitry equalizes, amplifies, and re-transmits the complete HDMI signal while avoiding the pixel noise that plagues repeater designs optimized purely for longest distance capability.

While the Wireworld HDMI repeater is fully compatible with all HDMI cables, when used with Wireworld's proprietary flat HDMI cables it is capable of delivering pristine 1080p video and high definition multichannel audio signals at lengths of up to 30 meters. It is compatible with all HDTV resolutions and standards, including the Deep Color™ capabilities of HDMI v. 1.3. It is also fully HDCP compliant, and functions equally well with both HDMI and adapted DVI connections, enabling it to work in a wide variety of situations.

The Wireworld HDMI repeater features both power and malfunction LED indicators, and includes a mounting bracket and hardware for quick and clean installation. It is currently available from Wireworld dealers at a suggested retail price of $199.95.

Wireworld, which was founded by Salz in 1992, is the premier provider of leading edge digital and analog cable technology for home audio and video. The company has an unmatched reputation for producing superior cables based on the use of objective perceptual testing, innovative patented designs, premium materials, and exceptional manufacturing quality.
