Better video imaging is here to stay. With the growing popularity of DVD, DSS, and Digital TV, clear, sharp pictures with bright, vivid, natural-looking colors are finding their way into living rooms everywhere. High quality video interface is critical for the best system performance. Ordinary wire's flimsy construction, poor dielectrics and interior shielding cause signal degradation and provide little protection against outside electromagnetic (EM) and radio frequency (RF) interference.Monster Video 3's (MV3) reputation for delivering the clearest, sharpest picture and the brightest, and most accurate colors, is well-founded. MV3 was the first video cable ever to receive certification by the prestigious Imaging Science Foundation - the home theatre industry's recognized authority on video reproduction. With an extremely linear bandwidth to 550MHz and 75-Ohm impedance, MV3 offers consistently outstanding picture definition for composite video, component video and cable TV. MV3 features a unique gas-injected dielectric for improved, high velocity signal transfer. True metal-to-metal double shielding of foil and copper braid provides maximum protection against EM and RF interference.MV3's signal-carrying conductor is embedded in the center of a unique dielectric (insulator). 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). The result is consistent 75-Ohm impedance for maximum signal strength, consistent performance and efficient transfer to video signals between components.The Imaging Science Foundation demands stringent standards be met for cable certification. MV3 not only meets ISF standards but exceeds them. That's why ISF calls Monster Video 3 "absolutely necessary for good pictures in home theatre." One look and you'll agree.
