Enabling a New Category of HD Connectivity
The new HDMI version 1.3 and DisplayPort version 1.1 offer your customers new and exciting next-generation features such as higher resolution video, deep color, and higher frame rates that can enable a whole new user experience. But to get the full spectrum of features and benefits, higher data rates are required. How do you meet the challenge of providing the increase in needed bandwidth over long distances while maintaining the precision signal integrity that's required?

To help you address these issues, we introduced ActiveConnect™ solutions. This breakthrough in connectivity technology offers you the benefits of impeccable signal integrity over long reaches, along with the ability to support full HDMI 1.3 as well as DisplayPort.
