DVI Booster from ComputerCableStore™. Easy Digital Video Extension up to 100-Feet. Ever tried to extend a
DVI display beyond its 15-foot distance limitation (as per the DVI specification) using just a copper-based DVI cable? It's likely you saw some sparkles when you connected it at high resolutions-great for a nighttime sky but hardly ideal for your beautiful HD display.Gefen's DVI Boosters make it all better by reconditioning the HD signal sent over the long cable, essentially eliminating the video degradation that occurs beyond 15-feet.A sort of cable companion, the DVI Booster requires no extra power supply, additional wiring or sender and receiver system. It's an inconspicuous single box solution that makes extending
HDTV over copper cables a breeze.Resolutions up to
1080p or 1920x1200 guaranteed up to 100 feet.Gefen's family of Boosters include various hard working little boxes that make HDTV extension through a long cable easy and effective. They are limited in distance at the highest resolutions up to 200 feet.To go beyond the limited inherent DVI distance or if you'd like to use two or more cables, our Boosters are a perfect option. They replicate digital video signals, enabling you to “daisy chain” cables and Repeaters as far as you need to go.This plug and play installation takes mere seconds. You simply connect the extension cable on one side of the DVI Booster and the display's cable on the other side. The DVI Booster sits between the end of your DVI cable and your display. You also have the option of connecting another DVI cable to the Booster, daisy chaining Boosters and cables for greater distances.
DVI, or Digital Video Interface Technology came about in 1999 as a result of the formation of the Digital Display Working Group (DDWG) a year prior. Their original mission was to create a standard digital video interface for communication between a Personal Computer and a VGA monitor. Recently, however, the consumer electronics industry began implementing DVD players, set-top boxes, televisions, and LCD/plasma monitors with DVI technology.
1080p is the shorthand name for a category of HDTV video modes. The number "1080" represents 1,080 lines of vertical resolution (1080 horizontal scan lines), while the letter p stands for progressive scan (meaning the image is not interlaced). 1080p can be referred to as full HD or full high definition to differentiate it from other HDTV video modes. The term usually assumes a widescreen aspect ratio of 16:9, implying a horizontal resolution of 1920 pixels. This creates a frame resolution of 1920×1080, or 2,073,600 pixels in total. The frame rate in hertz can be either implied by the context or specified after the letter p (or i), such as 1080p30, meaning 30 Hz.
High-definition television (or HDTV) is a digital television broadcasting system with higher resolution than traditional television systems (standard-definition TV, or SDTV). HDTV is digitally broadcast; the earliest implementations used analog broadcasting, but today digital television (DTV) signals are used, requiring less bandwidth due to digital video compression.
