Wireworld Platinum Starlight HDMI Cable for the Uber Rich

Tweet

Not sure about you, but I hear people talking about gold plated HDMI cables being way better than the regular “few bucks” HDMI cables without all that branding thing, all the time. And although it’s all about the digital signal (yes 1′s and 0′s) that needs to get or not to the receptor, most of these guys are ready to pay a little bit extra, for a Walmart employee has advised that they won’t be losing any pixels that way.

But the whole issue regarding what’s the best cable to hook to your Blu-ray player, is getting even more interesting as the folks from Wireworld have announced a revolutionary new Platinum Starlight HDMI cable that for $1,000 promises unprecedented dynamic 1080p transmissions straight to your HDTV.

Featuring some sort of patent-pending DNA Helix conductor design that is crafted using 24 solid silver conductors and doing exactly the same job as a regular cable, you should know that this “flagship” Wireworld Platinum Starlight HDMI cable ensures that your signal strength won’t go south (which usually appear when you have a very long cable).

Really worth a thousand bucks, or just a way to brag to your fellas? I think you already know the answer, right?

Meanwhile, here’s their press release.

COOPER CITY, FL (12/8/09) — Wireworld, which debuted the world’s first upgrade HDMI cables in 2004, has introduced a new flagship HDMI cable that delivers the highest levels of performance the company has ever offered. The Platinum Starlight HDMI cable features molded carbon fiber connectors, the company’s unique new 24-conductor DNA Helix™ design with solid silver conductors, and high-speed/high-bandwidth capabilities to meet even the most stringent system requirements – including the new HDMI v1.4 High Speed with Ethernet specification. MSRP for the Platinum Starlight is $1,000 for a 1.0 meter cable.

“Now that Blu-Ray players are the primary source for both movies and music in home theater systems,” comments Wireworld President and founder David Salz, “the HDMI cable connecting the player to the system has become the most important audio cable in the entire system. The Platinum Starlight HDMI cable addresses the need to provide the highest possible audio and video fidelity in high end home theater installations.”

The Platinum Starlight HDMI cable employs Wireworld’s new, patent-pending DNA Helix conductor design, which uses 24 solid silver conductors — double that of conventional HDMI designs — arranged with an innovative symmetrical geometry designed to neutralize impedance variations at every point along the cable’s length. These advancements maximize available speed and bandwidth for the signal path while also reducing noise and jitter effects for substantial overall improvements in signal fidelity and dynamic response. The cable is capable of transfer rates of up to 21 Gbits per second, far exceeding the HDMI group’s recently announced v1.4 High Speed with Ethernet specification of 10.2 Gbits per second.

Platinum Starlight HDMI cables will be available in February of 2010 in lengths ranging from 0.3 meter to 30 meters. Retail pricing for a 1.0 meter cable is $1,000.
