The maximum DVI/HDMI Bandwidth of 1.65 Gbps provides 8bit deep color support, which is offered by HDMI revision 1.3. Due to its active uni-directional feature, this switch is designed for usage only for the video receiver's side. For consumer video networks, the device sits at the receiver's side to switch between multiple video components, such as PC, DVD, STB, D-VHS, etc. The PI3HDMI341AR is the industry's first active DVI/HDMI switch compatible with HDMI 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3 which ensures transmitting high-bandwidth video streams from video components to the display unit. The PI3HDMI341AR also provides enhanced robust ESD/EOS protection of 8kV, which is required by many consumer video networks today. The Optimized Equalization provides the user a single optimal setting that can provide HDMI compliance for all cable lengths: 2meter, 10meter, 15meter, and 20 meter. Pericom also offers the ability to fine tune the equalization settings in situations where cable length is known. For example, if 25meter length cable isrequired, Pericom's solution can be adjusted to 16dB EQ to accept 25meter cable length.
