Monster M1000sv Is The Worldís First S-Video Cable To Be Certified By ISF

27-Jun-00

Monster CableÆ Products, Inc., the worldís leading manufacturer of high-end speaker, audio, video, car audio, AC power solutions and computer cables and accessories, has received certification from the Imaging Science Foundation (ISF) for its M SeriesÆ M1000sv Silver S-Video cable. M1000sv is the first S-Video cable ever to earn certification by ISF. The Imaging Science Foundation is a highly respected organization that trains video technicians to calibrate video monitors and tests and certifies video products for proper reproduction of video signals. S-Video standard definition specs are twice as demanding as composite video specs. Composite video carries Y and C (luminance and chrominance) signals together through the same conductors while S-Video cables carry Y and C signals separately for improved color balance and crystal clarity. Joel Silver, president of ISF, says, ""Any S-Video poses a challenge in well crafted interconnects. We must depend on the integrity of the cable itself to make a system work when dealing with S-Video connectors. Our measurements showed that a fifty-foot run of the M1000 S-Video cable passes our specs. Good show Monster!""M1000sv cables provide the highest level of video performance for today's high resolution DVDs, DSS, VCRs, LaserDisc players, video monitors and camcorders. Polished silver coated copper center conductors provide improved high frequency control and absolute minimal attenuation for accurate signal transfer, even over long runs. M1000sv has a unique Nitrogen-injected dielectric, which provides a high velocity of propagation (83 percent, compared to 66 percent average with ordinary cables) for maximum video signal strength. High efficiency double shielding of 100 percent metal-to-metal foil coverage plus 95 percent braid protects against radio frequency interference (RFI) and electromagnetic interference (EMI) greatly reducing the problem of noise. Finally, the 8-cut 24k gold-contact precision machined S-Video connectors deliver the highest integrity, low-loss signal transfer. Monster Cable is proud to have M1000sv join other Monster cables in receiving ISF's prestigious certification - M1000v and MVSV3, the first 2 video cables ever to receive certification from ISF.M1000sv retails for $60/1 meter.Monster is located in Brisbane, California.
