TERK Amplifier for HDTV Signals

August 12, 2003

 

 

With Households Owning Multiple Broadband Devices, Signal Integrity Is More Important Than Ever.

Commack, NY - New from TERK Technologies comes the AMP-15, the latest solution for broadband cable users’ signal management needs. With the growing popularity of broadband cable, cable modems and off-air HDTV antennas, the typical connected home has a multiple of TV sets and broadband cable devices including cable modems, voice-over-data, video-on-demand, pay-per-view, and set-top boxes - all being used at the same time.

The TERK AMP-15 is a high-performance 15dB amplifier designed specifically to improve the signal strength needed for broadband cable and UHF/VHF/FM/HDTV antenna reception, and guarantees quality signal levels for longer cable runs. Since there are numerous obstacles that can degrade performance, such as signals being weakened when they are split into multiple paths or by long cable runs, the AMP-15 is ideal for consumers who face these challenges.

Traditional amplifiers block the communication from a PC back to the internet or from a cable box back to the service provider. THE TERK AMP-15 supports two-way communication required for broadband cable devices.

Currently in the United States, there are 12 MM homes using broadband signals and by 2008 that number is expected to rise to 39 MM (Yankee Group). With the increased use of cable modems, cable and digital cable, and off-air HDTV antennas, signal management has become increasingly popular to consumers looking to gain back some of the lost signal.

The AMP-15’s clear and simple to follow product labeling ensures quick and easy installation for any do-it-yourselfer. For best results and to prevent degradation of signal, the amplifier should be installed where the cable service first enters the home, before it is split to multiple paths. The AMP-15 includes a power adapter and 6’ RG-59 connection cable. The MSRP is $49.95.
