The maximum DVI/HDMITM Bandwidth of 2.5 Gbps provides 12bit deep color support, which is offered by HDMITM 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 PI3HDMI431AR is the industry's first active DVI/HDMITM switch compatible with HDMITM 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3 which ensures transmitting high-bandwidth video streams from video components to the display unit. The PI3HDMI431AR also provides enhanced robust ESD/EOS protection of 12kV, which is required by many consumer video networks today. The Optimized Equalization provides the user a single optimal setting that can provide HDMITM compliance for all cable lengths: 1meter to 20meters and color depths of 8bit/ch, or 12bit/ch. Pericom also offers the abiility to fine tune the equalization settings in situations where cable length is known. For example, if 25meter cable length is required, Pericom's solution can be adjusted to 16dB EQ to accept 25meter cable length. |
