Honeywell CURxELight HDMI Cable Autocorrects Corrupt Data

Honeywell's CURxELight HDMI cable is designed to meet the requirements of home theater enthusiasts and professional A/V installers, allowing them to experience peak levels of HDTV performance.

Honeywell says the cable is the first to automatically correct corrupted HDCP and EDID data that degrades the HD picture and multi-channel audio.

The company's Genesis Crystal 7000 Series 0.5-meter HDMI cable earned the highest DPL rating.

HDCP and EDID data becomes corrupted as a result of inconsistencies of hardware manufacturers' implementation of HDMI (e.g., excessive internal capacitance).

Working in the background, CURxE Light Technology automatically cleans the bad data to its intended dynamic range for the best picture quality.

This corrupt data, if left uncorrected, causes dropout of the picture or audio signal, incorrect resolution, intermittent "snow" in the picture, or a pink or blue hued screen.

The new cable will be showcased at Honeywell's booth (310) at CEDIA Expo 2008.

The male-to-male cables can transmit 1080p at 120Hz with Deep Color. The cable is offered at lengths of 0.5 meters (1.6 feet) to 15 meters (49.2 feet).

Four LEDs integrated into the HDMI connector with the technology serve as self-diagnostic monitoring indicators.

The four LEDs verify: hot plug detection, +5 volts status, HDCP and EDID, which helps installers determine what device in the system is problematic.
