RTcom USA Introduces Fiber Optic and CAT-5e/6 Extension Systems for High Definition Video and Audio
New Delivery Systems Extend DVI and HDMI Connections Ground-Breaking Distances While Maximizing Signal Integrity
Denver, CO - RTcom USA Inc., provider of digital connectivity solutions for professional and consumer audio-visual and personal computer systems, announces to the custom electronic installations industry two revolutionary fiber optic and Category 5e/6 (CAT-5e, CAT-6) cable systems that can extend high-definition video and audio signals up to one kilometer (3,280 feet) without degradation of signal.
With HDCP compliant modules for both DVI and HDMI, the fiber optic and CAT-5e/6 cable systems provide complete solutions for medium and long distance high-definition content delivery.
Installers may run into difficulties when faced with having to send HDMI signals over extra-long cable runs as the quality of the signal usually deteriorates over the extended distance. RTcom’s unique fiber-optic and CAT-5e/6 transmitters and receivers enable the signals to transmit over a distance of up to 3,280 feet, noise-free and with full high resolution up to 1080p. Each extension system consists of one transmitter, which converts DVI or HDMI into a fiber optic or CAT-5e/6 signal, and a receiver, converting it back to its original source.
“No matter how far you plan on extending your signal, whether it’s three feet or 3,000 feet, RTcom’s fiber-optic and CAT-5e/6 cable extension systems provide the most reliable method to ensure you have the highest quality signal with no signal degradation,” said Joon Ryu, president of RTcom USA. “As with many of RTcom’s products, the extension systems are High-Definition Content Protection (HDCP) compliant, which allows users to present high definition, commercially copywrited protected material on several different displays.”
