RedMere’s latest review is by Matthew Moskovciak of CNET who says “All HDMI cables may be the same in terms of image quality, but that doesn’t mean they’re physically the same. The new cable is dramatically thinner than traditional long-run HDMI cables–every editor at CNET who held the two cables was impressed by the difference.”

In a review of the year, CNET compiled some of its favourite technological gadgets and innovations of the year just passed. One of its favourites was the Motorola Droid Razr.
Many of the Motorola Droid Razr’s capabilities are enhanced by having an ultra-portable High Speed HDMI® Cable enabled by RedMere’s technology. The Droid Razr’s multiplayer gaming features allow you to challenge friends to live peer-to-peer gaming and the integrated micro-HDMI port allows the user to experience the games in full 1080p HD on the HDTV big screen. The Droid Razr also allows HDMI Mirroring – streaming the same video on the device’s screen as on the TV – and all the bought or filmed HD video and images can be shared with friends and family while on the go with a RedMere enabled cable.
Connecting to a HDTV or monitor means that the business user can view emails or share presentations, excel sheets, or word documents on the big screen – all possible on the move with HDMI cable powered by RedMere’s booster module technology. RedMere’s chip inside the connector does all the work that copper did in transmitting the data – meaning that cable brands can use 80% less copper and PVC during cable manufacture – resulting in ultra-thin and portable High Speed HDMI cables.

Netflix was recently introduced into Ireland and for the first time there, has there been such a comprehensive Video on Demand (VOD) service on offer. As it gains popularity in the UK and Ireland, it is set to change the way many people view TV much as the VOD revolution has done in The States.
US DVD company TiVo recently conducted a report into viewing habits and found that only 38% of television viewing happens in real-time, with that number falling to just 27% for viewers who also use Netflix, YouTube, Hulu Plus and other online viewing outlets. Only a third of all television viewing nowadays happens “live,” and that recorded, TiVo or internet-delivered content formed the remainder and therefore the vast majority of the viewership.
Content on the subscription services like Netflix, Hulu and SkyTV is now also offered on the go allowing the users to view TV programmes and movies on the move on portable devices like tablets and smartphones. Using a laptop and a High Speed HDMI® cable with RedMere inside it’s possible to view Netflix or SkyGo on the big screen HDTV on the move. Only a HDMI cable powered by RedMere’s booster module technology inside the connector is thin enough and portable enough to carry around – perfect for watching VOD on the go.

RedMere’s booster module for 1.4 HDMI cables has been adopted world-wide by brands such as Best Buy, Samsung, VIZIO, Monster, RadioShack, PNY, BUFFALO, MCO, My Cable Mart, Kordz and now Monoprice into their lines of ultra-thin, portable cables. Known as ‘active’ cables RedMere’s embedded chip compensates for the data loss which occurs when very high speed signals are transmitted over copper. Copper cables have limited bandwidth and the high frequency energy in the signal will be attenuated. Maintaining high data quality is a difficult task, made more difficult by increased channel speed and cable length.
The principle of active cables is to place signal processing technology directly into the cable, where the characteristics of the cable channel are precisely known, and a focused boost mechanism can be used to enhance data recovery. In-cable equalization capable of up to 25dBs of boost has a variety of boost characteristics in order to cancel various losses in a wide spectrum of cable gauges, lengths and speeds. Each channel has an equalizer that can be individually tuned or programmed at production. This active boosting means that active cables can be made thinner, longer, faster, lighter and more compact than their passive equivalents.

This week at CES, Monoprice announced a new line of active HDMI cables using RedMere‘s technology. The new line of cables is thinner, lighter, more portable and because less copper and PVC is needed in manufacturing, they are also ‘greener’, than standard HDMI cables.

Yesterday Netflix launched it’s Video on Demand (VOD) subscription service in Ireland and last night I was able to select from the thousands of movies and TV programmes available and connect via a RedMere-enabled HDMI cable to view them on a HDTV. New subscribers to Netflix can select and instantly watch a wide array of Hollywood, local and international films and TV programmes in high quality on their computer, mobile device, smartphone or on their television via internet-connected devices, including smart TVs, game consoles and Blu-ray players.
Last night we watched the Netflix offerings using a tiny HDMI cable with RedMere-inside from the internet enabled XBox console to the HDTV. Any active cable with RedMere-inside is light, portable and easy to install as the bend radius behind the TV is so sharp compared to a heavy, cumbersome standard or passive HDMI cable. I can easily unplug the cable and use it with my laptop or DVD player and its spaghetti-like design means I can just pop into in my laptop case or pocket should I need to.

Over-the-top (OTT) content means delivering on-line streaming of movies and archived TV shows in video format through the internet and through internet connected devices such as set-top boxes (STB) and internet-enabled gaming consoles such as PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 as opposed to the traditional delivery methods such as renting or buying DVDs or videos from a movie rental shop.
Netflix is one of the largest on-demand internet streaming media companies in the world with a declared 23.6 million subscribers and it recently announced it is expanding into the UK and Ireland this year.
Netflix is now available on mobile devices like the tablet, smartphone and also the laptop. Subscribers who are on the move with their PC Laptop can now view Netflix movies and video on the HDTV big screen using a RedMere enabled cable – these cables are the perfect size to fit in the laptop bag or jeans pocket and will deliver full 1080p HD content from the portable device to the screen.
Likewise at home, a HDMI cable with RedMere inside means that it is 80% thinner than a standard HDMI cable – therefore it’s easier to route and bend behind the HDTV into the STB or gaming console. Many brands such as Best Buy, Samsung, VIZIO, PNY, Monster, RadioShack, BUFFALO SUPPLY INC and MCO now offer cables with RedMere-inside, click here for more information.
Purpose built Skype-enabled TVs although they do exist are still a little way off from being commonplace but an easy and simple way to Skype-enable your TV is to use a HDMI cable with RedMere’s technology to connect your tablet, PC or smartphone to your HDTV.

Use this Skype feature on the move as these cables, even though they are High Speed HDMI compliant, they are ultra-slim and portable due to the technology from RedMere inside the cable.
Be it work or recreation – share this unique way of making calls using a cable with RedMere’s technology with your smartphone or tablet. For more information on where to buy click here.
