DVIGear Introduces New Connectivity Products

Chapel Hill, NC - July 15, 2005 - DVIGear, a leading manufacturer of digital connectivity products, released a suite of new products at InfoComm that offer system integrators greater performance and flexibility when designing digital display systems.

"Many end users have asked us for a better solution to distribute high quality DVI and HDMI signals," said Steven Barlow, president of DVIGear. "Unfortunately, there are a lot of conventional grade products on the market that aren't really fit for the job of distributing high resolution digital signals, so we've engineered an entire new product line from the ground up to make sure that our product performance is second to none," Barlow noted. DVIGear announced four new product families:

Next-generation Super High Resolution® DVI and HDMI Cables
DVIGear introduced the next generation of Super High Resolution® (SHR) DVI and HDMI cables. Engineered for fully transparent operation with single-link bit rates up to 1.65 Gbitsec., DVIGear's SHR cables set a new benchmark for performance and durability. Un­like consumer-grade cables that use 28AWG or 30AWG wire, DVIGear's Super High Resolution® cables use silver-plate 22AWG wire for incredibly low signal attention. Together with the cable's ultra-low skew and crosstalk, this results in superior signal quality and enables cable lengths up to 20 meters (65 ft.) that support HDTV signals to 1080p resolutions and PC resolutions up to 1920x1200/60 Hz. DVIGear's Super High Resolution® cables are available now in a wide range of lengths from 0.5 to 20 meters.

M1-D Adapter Cables
Today, there are an increasingly greater number of small projectors that use the M1-DA type input connector. This connector is popular because it can accommodate up to four signal types (analog VGA, DVI, component video and USB). To meet the growing demand to interface with the M1-DA connector, DVIGear has introduced a full line of M1 Adapter Cables:

• DVI-8611b Adapter Cable M1-DA Male to VGA Female + USB Type B
• DVI-8614a Adapter Cable M1-DA Male to 3x RCA Female
• DVI-8615a Adapter Cable M1-D Male to DVI-D Female + USB Type B
• DVI-8613b Adapter Cable M1-D Male to HDMI Female

These cables have a suggested list price of $49.95 and are available now for immediate delivery.

DVI + HDCP Repeater
DVIGear's DVI+HDCP Repeater is a high performance HDCP compliant DVI signal repeater. When used with DVIGear's SHR cables, this repeater can extend cable lengths up to 40 meters (131 ft.). This unit is fully HDCP compliant, which allows it to be used in both PC and HDTV applications. The repeater also includes a DDC pass-through function to ensure proper recognition of the connected display. Up to three repeaters may be cascaded using four 10 meter DVI cables to achieve a 40 meter aggregate cable distance that supports HDTV signals to 1080p resolutions and PC resolutions up to 1920x120060 Hz. DVIGear's DVI+HDCP Repeater will start shipping on June 20, 2005 with a suggested list price of $249.
