Grab some popcorn. Dim the lights. Plop down on your couch. Throw on your 3D glasses and get ready for an unmatched home entertainment experience.

More and more movies are coming out in 3D. For example, 20 3D movies were released in 2009, compared to only eight in 2008. 3D capable screens across the US and Canada jumped up from 1,514 to 3,548 in one year. It’s not just cartoons anymore — action movies, comedies, IMAX films, and concerts are all being released with that extra dimension. And, increasingly, electronics providers are releasing products like 3D-ready HDTVs, making it easy to bring this dazzling technology into your own home.

Imagine the possibilities: Nature shows where your kids find themselves suddenly surrounded by a friendly pack of happy hippos. NFL games where you see the plays unfold from the vantage point of a middle linebacker. A film giving a classroom full of high schoolers an immersion tour of the human heart. An office training session that gives their sales staff in-depth understanding of the highly complicated products they’re preparing to sell. A trade show demonstration where you can take potential customers and clients on a illuminating info tour of your cutting edge product.

We’re not there yet, but 3D-ready TVs that can be set up in homes, offices, schools, and conferences make for a giant next step in the direction of immersive A/V experience. And at MilesTek, we fully expect our A/V connectivity solutions to help bridge the transition to these new sorts of technologies.

For example, our new 3D-ready, IR-controllable HDMI-over-CAT5E/CAT6 extenders simply add 3D readiness to all the same benefits of our other HDMI extenders, including:

• The ability to transmit HDMI signals further. Depending on the extender model, the devices can extend 1080p resolution up to 164 feet over CAT5E cables, and up to 180 feet over CAT6 cables.
• The ability to transmit HDMI signals at a fraction of the price (compared to more expensive HDMI cables).
• Built-in pass-thru IR control for more flexible management.
• A high-speed chip set that supports 3D, 4K x 2
• HDCP compliance

The 3D extenders arrive to you tested for compatibility with all leading HD video brands, as well as whole series 7.1 home theater systems. The devices also come in a wall plate extender version.

It’s an exciting time filled with A/V possibilities. Contact our HDMI solutions specialists for more information.
