RTcom USA Wins Coveted Electronic House Expo Multi-Room Award

HS-88M Matrix Router Honored as Best Product in Video Switching Distribution Category

Sparta, NJ (PRWEB) November 13, 2008 -- RTcom USA Inc., provider of digital connectivity solutions for professional and consumer audio-visual and personal computer systems, is proud to announce the selection of the HS-88M high-definition multimedia interface (HDMI) Matrix Router by the Electronic House Expo (EHX) as the best product in the Video Switching Distribution category. The Seventh Annual EHX Multi-Room Awards honor products displaying exceptional innovation, functionality, and value.

The HS-88M set itself apart from other products in the Video Switching Distribution category as the industry's first HDMI matrix router with eight in/eight out ports. With the HS-88M, HDMI signals from audio-visual products - such as computers, and other devices for business users, or satellite set top boxes, Blu-ray disc players, and more for consumers - can be sent simultaneously to eight different displays or A/V receivers without degradation in signals.

The HS-88M features full High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) compatibility, alleviating the problem of HDCP encoding, which previously blocked signals from being transmitted from audio-visual products to multiple displays.

"The EHX Multi-Room Awards are one of the most prestigious recognitions a manufacturer serving the home theater and custom electronics industry can receive," said Joon Ryu, president of RTcom USA. "Our philosophy at RTcom is to provide high-quality, cutting-edge products to professional home electronics integrators and to be acknowledged by the esteemed Multi-Room Awards panel for our innovation is truly gratifying."

The HS-88M Matrix Router is currently available at an MSRP of $7,499.00. To purchase the products customers in U.S. may contact Aurora Multimedia at (732) 591-5800 or sales@auroramultimedia.com and international customers may contact RTcom USA at (973) 383-4878 or rtcomusa@earthlink.net.
