Metra Home Theater Group® (MHTG) debuts its next-generation HDMI® GA2 gigabit accelerator at the 2018 CEDIA Expo in San Diego, CA. The HDM-GA2 technology breakthrough means an existing passive HDMI cable can be used for a 4K upgrade to a home theater system.

MHTG’s Ethereal® second-generation gigabit accelerator, the HDM-GA2, is small enough to fit in the palm of your hand and transforms existing hard-wired passive HDMI cables by expanding their bandwidth capability to 18Gbps for up to 20 meters and an expected capability of 48Gbps for up to 9+ meters. The HDM- GA2 patented technology will support all available functions under HDMI 2.0b, and it will also support the feature sets and performance requirements of the new HDMI 2.1 specification. The product is low-profile and is designed to be used only with passive HDMI cables and installs easily at the display side of the system. It has already received the TWICE VIP Award for 2018, and is a finalist for the “Best New Hardware” award to be given by CEDIA at the expo.

Metra Home Theater Group® (MHTG) announced today its partnership with D-Tools, Inc., a worldwide leader in system integration software. This partnership allows dealers and installers at the design phase of a home installation project to access the entire line of Metra Home Theater products.

“We are pleased to join forces with D-Tools and excited to be a part of the D-Tools Cloud launch at CEDIA. We like the opportunities this provides our customers and know this partnership will realize a ‘next-step’ in making Metra Home Theater Group a top-of-mind choice during the design phase,” said Jessy Crabb, MHTG general manager.
