True Colours Distribution has signed an exclusive UK deal with high definition (HD) technology developer Obonok Technologies.
According to Jin Khangura, connectivity specialist at True Colours, this introduces to resellers a new offering for uncompressed High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) signal distribution over a single CAT5e/CAT6 unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable.
“Traditionally, all HDMI signals have needed to be sent over two Cat5/6 cables. This does not always help when installing HD equipment and displays where only a single pre-installed cable exists,” Khangura said.

One new range is the Blu-Wire Series that connects an HD source such as a Blu-ray disc player via CatX cables to hundreds of HD displays within 350m.
“Blu-Wire can extend 1080p with High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) to 50m for each hop with single UTP cable,” Khangura said.
The Blu-Wire Series is also claimed to simplify installations where the display is further away than the standard length for HDMI hook-up cables.
