Belkin's PureAV(R) HDMI(TM) Interface and DVI Digital Solutions Allow Use of Digital Cables at Longer Lengths; Cable Lengths of up to 100 Feet with Maintained Quality Within the HDMI Spec Give Custom Installers More Flexibility.

INDIANAPOLIS & COMPTON, Calif. -- Custom installers and home theater enthusiasts now have more flexibility and more cable length options of up to 100 feet with the PureAV by Belkin line of HDMI Interface and HDMI Interface-to-DVI Cables, Adapters, and Extenders. These digital cables meet the HDMI spec while integrating high-quality materials and construction to deliver pristine audio and video quality. These HDMI solutions will be shipping in North America in November 2005. They will also be on display at the CEDIA 2005 Show in Indianapolis, IN, September 9-11, at 1347 RCA Dome.

PureAV cables use silver-plated, 99.99% oxygen-free conductors, five layers of shielding, and precision-formulated dielectric material to ensure a sharp, detailed, vibrant picture, and accurate, crisp sound.

The HDMI interface is backward-compatible with DVI, allowing connection of HDMI-capable components and displays to equipment with DVI connections. HDMI-to-DVI is ideal for connecting digital displays, such as HDTVs, plasma displays, LCD TVs, and projectors, to digital source devices, such as DVD players/recorders, digital set-top boxes, and AV receivers. PureAV also offers adapters that convert your component's HDMI and DVI connections for all-digital, high-definition video transfer from DVI-enabled to HDMI-enabled components.
