Download this Press Release
Santa Clara, CA, January 09, 2010 – Pragmatic Communications Systems, Inc.,
the leaders in audio/video control and signal distribution, recently introduce the
third generation of their revolutionary CATS™ system. Designed for sending
signals over extended distances exceeding 1000 feet with no audible, visible or
measurable loss, CATS™ is rewriting the rules in the design of large residential
and commercial installations. The system distributes HDMI signals from 4
sources to 4 zones/screens over category 5 cable.
The CATS-HDMI-MX4 4x4 HDMI over CAT5 Matrix with IR Pass-through
provides the most flexible and cost effective solution in the market to route high
definition video sources plus multi-channel (up to 7.1-channel) digital audio from
any four HDMI sources to four remote displays at the same time.
Through low cost Cat-5/5e/6 LAN cables, not only can high quality video and
audio be transmitted to the display sites, users can also switch among four
HDMI sources using the push-in button or remote control. With single power
design at the source site, each remote module is easily installed without a power
supply. Furthermore, the built-in IR extension function allows users to access the
DVD player, PS3 or any HDMI supported devices directly.
The CATS™ system consists of a A/V matrix switcher/router for complete multisource/
multi-zone signal distribution and four receivers to decode the signals at
each remote location. The system utilizes the company’s proprietary and patent
pending BDSP™ - Bandwidth Domain Signal Processing technology to achieve
the superior performance, high bandwidth and quality signal reproduction over
low cost category 5 cable, or even unshielded twisted pair phone wire! Further,
the technology eliminates any possible chance for ground loops, AC voltage
interference, noise pick-up or introduction of hum into the signal path. This quality
assurance and enhanced reliability virtually eliminates callbacks. Hence, no
callbacks means no unhappy clients, lost profit or lost referrals.
Among the new features incorporated into CATS™ are local A/V inputs with
multiple source selection at both the transmitter and receiver ends, as well as an
LCD display to show the selected input. Also available as an option, is a compact
plastic enclosure for in-wall or set-top mounting, providing a flexible alternative to
the unit’s standard rack-mount enclosure.
CATS™ also includes an integrated IR control system so that all of its
components, as well as all of the source equipment, can be controlled from
remote locations. In describing the feature’s importance, Mr. Shah explained:
“This IR control offers fantastic expandability so that additional A/V sources can
be easily added to the system and made readily available to the remote locations
via the distribution system itself.”
CATS™ system also comes with its sleek, and advanced design keypad.
CATS™ and CATS™ Keypad are available for immediate delivery. Please click
