Smart-AVI, Inc. Introduces XTPro Xtreem,
a Multi-Signal Extender for Existing Smart-AVI Products

Unit Breaks Through Conventional Distance
Limitations of Video Signal Transmission over Cat5, Boosting
Pro-A/V Component Signals to 1,799 Feet, Complete with Free
Infrared Skew Tuning Tool
Smart-AVI, Inc. announces the release of its XTPro Xtreem
signal extension unit, which will work in concert with existing
Smart-AVI products to almost double their transmission/broadcast
length to 1,799 feet. The XTPro Xtreem also comes with a free
signal tuning tool.
The XTPro Xtreem breaks down traditional barriers of distance
limitation that Cat5 cabling is bound to, which is approximately
1,000 feet, given the type of signal being broadcast from
a source component. Now, when signals from existing Smart-AVI
products are transmitted through an XTPro Xtreem unit, the
signals are boosted up to 1,799 feet – almost double
of traditional Cat5 distance capabilities whether transmitting
high-definition video, stereo audio, RS-232 or infrared signals.
“Our customers have looked to us for extension solutions
that will push the boundaries of their existing Smart-AVI
products,” says Albert Cohen, president and CEO of Smart-AVI,
Inc.
“The answer is our new XTPro Xtreem system, which works
in concert with our family of extenders, splitters, matrixes
and Cat5-to-Cat5 matrix solutions. We’ve taken our existing
technology and have developed a way of almost doubling transmission
distance over Cat5 with the use of multiple amplification
points along the cables themselves. In addition to extending
various signals
much further, we have also employed the technology necessary
to control the signal skew when using the XTPro Xtreem, making
this a very attractive and exciting product.”
Compatible with both PC and Mac platforms, the XTPro Xtreem
is a complimentary signal extension solution to be used with
existing Smart-AVI products, including the company’s
SuperMatrix, XTPro, XT-TX line, and Catswitch devices.
Over any given distance, digital signals easily become distorted,
and out of sync. This is due to the individual wires within
Cat5 cabling varying in length. The result is “ghosting”
of displayed images or poor overall signal quality; this is
known as “skew”. Skew correction is simple and easy
with a “tool” that adjusts the distorted signal
so that it’s perfect and remains synced as long as the
display component remains connected to the XTPro Xtreem.
Companies that manufacture similar solutions as the XTPro
Xtreem offer skew correction tools for an upcharge fee. Smart-AVI
has opted to include a skew control tool free with each XTPro
Xtreem unit as a value added bonus for its customers. The
choice of infrared skew control is also a deviation in traditional
signal tuning; other manufacturers’ units accomplish
skew control via TCP/IP.
Smart-AVI’s approach to skew correction is that with
an IR device, a client merely needs to point the tool at the
display screen that is in need of adjustment and with the
touch of a button, the process is taken care of instantly
with very little effort.
“In today’s economic climate, we feel the skew correction
tool is an appropriate addition to the XTPro Xtreem unit free
of charge,” added Cohen. “Our customers already
understand the value of working with Smart-AVI; this is merely
one way we can reinforce that partnership we have with our
clients and give them the very best technology available for
the most aggressive pricing within our marketplace.”
Smart-AVI’s XTPro Xtreem is the perfect extension solution
for large-scale multimedia productions, nightclubs, lounges
or restaurants, corporate and educational facilities, mass-transit
terminals, video wall installations, digital signage networks,
theme park design, resorts and casinos, houses of worship
or controlled/secure CPU environments.
The suggested retail price of Smart-AVI’s XTPro Xtreem
is $499.00.
