What is HDMI? The High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) is a revolutionary technology that allows viewers to experience the highest quality digital images available. It is able to deliver top-quality video as well as audio over a single cable.

This growing technology is great for displays in many different situations: movie theatres, concert halls, public transportation, malls, shops, airports, schools, etc.

But there is one major challenge system integrators face when working with HDMI: cost. With 10 meter (33 feet) HDMI cables running in the hundreds of dollars, builders need a simple and cost-effective way to deploy large HDMI networks. And it would also be nice to have extended distances as well.

Introducing the HDSpider™ Series from LevelOne The HDSpider™ Series is a collection of HDMI Cat.5 senders and receivers, offering a full range of HDMI extender solutions. Choose from our 5 different HDSpider extenders to build a flexible network to send your high-quality HDMI signals to greater distances, and at a reduced cost.

What does a Cat.5 sender do? This compact device is deployed at the HD source, generally connected to an HD player, PS3, or Xbox 360. HVE-9001 accepts the HD signal from the short HDMI cable and then uses Cat.5 cable to send the HDMI signal to the receiver. It also has a built-in equalization knob to help you fine tune your HD signals to achieve the highest-quality available.
