LLC - Logical Link Control has adopted the company's ActiveConnect(TM) solution and is designing a line of connectivity products for the home entertainment and professional A/V (1) (Audio/Video) Refers to equipment and applications that deal with sound and sight. The A/V world includes microphones, tape recorders, audio mixers, still and video cameras, film projectors, slide projectors, VCRs, CD and DVD players/recorders, amplifiers and markets. Expected to be available through a significant number of high-profile brands, the new connectivity products will be used to reliably stream high-definition multimedia interface The High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) is a licensable audio/video connector interface for transmitting uncompressed, encrypted digital streams. HDMI connects DRM-enforcing digital audio/video sources, such as a set-top box, a Blu-ray Disc player, a PC running (HDMI) signals up to 100 meters. "The Gennum ActiveConnect solution is currently the only receiver/transmitter product on the market capable of streaming HDMI signals at this distance using low-cost copper cable," said Jay Victor, President of Orbital Development LLC. "As a result, we can develop long-haul cable solutions that deliver 1080p and deep color Refers to pixels with a bit depth (color depth) greater than 24 bits. See pixel and HDMI. without any degradation in multimedia performance and without the traditionally hefty price tag. We anticipate this technology will enable a wide range of both A/V professionals and consumers to experience the full benefits of HDMI." "Today's long-reach cable solutions are incapable of matching the full HD performance of high-end multimedia products such as displays, digital televisions and computers," said Martin Rofheart, Senior Vice President and GM of the Analog & Mixed-Signal Division, Gennum Corporation.

The Gennum ActiveConnect Solution Delivers HDMI 1.3 up to 100 Meters Targeting high-rate HDMI applications, the ActiveConnect solution is comprised of a transmitter and a receiver and enables consumer, business and industrial applications to stream HDMI content, via low-cost cable, at distances an order of magnitude A change in quantity or volume as measured by the decimal point. For example, from tens to hundreds is one order of magnitude. Tens to thousands is two orders of magnitude; tens to millions is three orders of magnitude, etc. greater than cables available today. As important, the new solution supports current and legacy versions of HDMI, including 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3, enabling backward compatibility See backward compatible. (jargon) backward compatibility - Able to share data or commands with older versions of itself, or sometimes other older systems, particularly systems it intends to supplant. with existing equipment. Introduced in September 2007, the Gennum ActiveConnect technology delivers the longest reach (up to 100 meters), highest performance connectivity solution for consumer and industrial applications.
