This 18Gbps self-powered booster module future-proofs all HDMI connectivity needs and ensures that audiences can engulf their viewing senses in 3D-HD and immersive interactive entertainment applications.
The PRA1701 delivers an unprecedented 18Gbps of HDMI connectivity with three data channels available on this module, at 6Gbps each. The module can be embedded into an ultra-high speed HDMI cable connector, and RedMere's proprietary energy harvesting technology ensures that no external power supply is required. By delivering 18Gbps connectivity, this booster module ensures the very best in 3D-HD and interactive entertainment and future-proofs against increasing multi-media data rate needs. Not only will the PRA1701 deliver the highest data rates in an active HDMI cable ever achieved, but the built in booster allows the cable to become 60% thinner than a traditional High Speed HDMI® Cable. This means that the cable will be as portable as the devices it services like the smartphone, tablet or the compact digital camera and the reduced form factor also means the cable will be easier to install and route from the DVD player or set-top-box to the HDTV.
