HDMI Problem Solved

Accell’s HDMI Splitter provides a practical and affordable solution for those needing additional HDMI connectivity

The new HDMI standard is upon us. For those of you who do not follow technology that closely and don’t know what HDMI is let me explain. HDMI is a single cable solution for connecting high quality audio and video to your new electronic components: HDTV sets, Hi-Def DVD players, cable boxes, etc. In the past, for the best video quality you had to use “component” cables--- that totaled five individual cables, when you include the two audio channels. Now, one small HDMI cable does the job of all five. As this new technology mushroomed, many manufacturers were caught off guard and did not put enough HDMI inputs and outputs on their new display devices. What do you do when you have a new HDTV cable box with only one HDMI output and two HDMI devices to hook up to it? They each need access to an HDMI connection, but you only have one.

Accell, a leader of interconnect technology, just announced its new Accell UltraAV 1-2 HDMI Splitter, especially developed for A/V enthusiasts desiring to send an audio/video signal to two displays. With the ever-expanding home theater market, Accell’s new splitter is a compact and affordable solution for those looking to increase their entertainment options.

Accell’s UltraAV 1-2 HDMI Splitter allows a single HDMI audio/video source to send a high-def signal to two devices, such as high-definition TVs, LCDs, and projectors. The UltraAV 1-2 HDMI Splitter supports HD Audio and Video transmission up to 1080p and comes complete in an attractive, compact design. The splitter can be daisy-chained to support more than two displays, supports HDCP compatible devices, and is fully HDMI 1.2 compliant.

If you are really into Hi-Def, and lucky enough to have more than one display device, this may be just the ticket for you. The UltraAV 1-2 HDMI Splitter is available on the net and at selected retailers for $119.99 MSRP.
