INTRODUCTION
The Linear Super Booster for HDMI is an attractive alternative to the traditional
sender/receiver solutions for HD extension. The Super Booster for HDMI enables
your standard “off the shelf” certied HDMI cable to transmit HDTV video
plus multichannel digital audio in a single cable way beyond the limited HDMI
specication of 15-feet.
Up to 200 feet can be easily traversed using your certied HDMI cable plus a Super
Booster for HDMI. The Super Booster for HDMI corrects any digital degradation that
occurs when HDMI is used to send digital audio/video signals beyond the HDMI
specication of 15 feet.
How It Works
This plug and play installation takes mere seconds. You simply connect the certied
HDMI cable on one side of the Super Booster for HDMI and the display’s cable on
the other side. The Super Booster For HDMI sits between the end of your certied
HDMI cable and your display. You also have the option of connecting another
certied HDMI cable to the Booster, daisy chaining Boosters and cables for greater
distances.
