MonsterÆ Mobile Videoô Mini 3 Brings Sharpest Picture Possible And Clean, Easy Installation To Mobile Video Systems
Monster Cable Products, Inc., the worldís leading manufacturer of high-end speaker, audio, video, car audio, AC Power Solutions and computer cables and accessories, has unveiled Monsterís Mobile Video Mini 3 Cable (MVM3). This revolutionary new cable won a coveted Innovations Award at CES 2000. MVM3 is the first video cable specially designed for the rigorous and specialized environment of mobile electronics. Unfortunately, most car audio enthusiasts canít enjoy all ultra high resolution, detail, and brilliant color that DVD and other high resolution video sources are famous for because theyíre using inferior cable. In fact, up until now, there hasnít been a video cable designed for the mobile market. Typically, people have been using audio cable passed off as a ""video"" cable (simply because it has yellow connectors), or bulky video cable from home. Both have their shortcomings. An audio cable with yellow connectors is still an ordinary audio cable. That means it doesnít have the proper shielding to reject all the electromagnetic (EM) and radio frequency interference (RF) that bombards the signal path. When the cable is used to carry a video signal, you wonít hear the induced noise, youíll see it: overlapping colors, ghosting, fuzzy images and dot crawl. Plus, every TV, VCR and DVD manufacturer specifies 75 ohm impedance for all their video inputs and outputs. Audio cables arenít designed to maintain 75 ohm impedance. Conventional video cable may be used, but it may not maintain proper impedance, either. Often, the dielectric (insulator) is not secured at all, and the slightest bend or movement will mismatch impedance, causing video ghosting. Conventional video cable is also too bulky to be installed in most cars properly. When it comes to performance, Monsterís MVM3ís got it wired. Thanks to superior technology and design, it outperforms audio cables being passed off as video cables, and conventional video cables, too. A superior double shield of 100 percent coverage foil and a high density copper braid provides the best possible protection against the noises that lurk in your carís environment. To maintain precise 75 ohm impedance, the signal-carrying conductor is embedded in the center of a unique dielectric. Gas is injected into the dielectric, creating uniform, microscopic cells that allow the conductor to rest in the exact center of the cable, even when the cable is bent. MVM3 features an extremely linear bandwidth of 500MHz, so you get consistently outstanding picture definition from DVD and other high resolution sources. MVM3 is ultra-compact in size. The award-winning 24k gold contact Stubbyô connectorís housing is 1/3 the overall length of a standard connector, making it the worldís smallest video RCA connector. Combined with the diminutive overall cable diameter, MVM3 minimizes installation time, preserves the carís original beauty and maximizes both performance and ergonomics. MVM3 retails for $14.95/1 meter.
