The ASP-3636 HDMI 1.4 card cage matrix routes HD video sources (via HDMI inputs) and multi-channel digital audio (up to 7.1 channel) from any of its 36 inputs to any of its 36 outputs at the same time.

It has the latest HDMI revision, so it also handles 3D video.

It expands in groupings of 2 on input and output, and is adaptable to the size required.

Purelink may be in its first showing at IFA, but the company is well known for connectivity products in the HDMI/DVI sector.

Catching retail interest attention at IFA, one Purelink product  recently won a 2011 nomination from the German Design Council award. "Retailers wanted a unique HDMI cable so we designed this in Germany," says Christian Ahrens, MD.

Normally HDMI cables only work well up to 5m  to 7.5m and Purelink embedded technology in this cable that extends the distance to 12.5m.

Purelink attracted new distributors at the Reseller Park, showing a full range of connectivity products.

Yanko Design suggests a concept for power cables in a new style - a stackable style, to be precise.

The design adds a tongue-and-groove, making the cable look like a jigsaw-puzzle piece in cross-section. This allows the edges to lock together and create a single, flexible block out of all cables.

This concept would need to be adopted by the manufacturers to be successful but it solves a constant problem for the consumer.
