As technology advances and becomes more available in the home with personal home theaters, we must continue to evolve to meet our customers’ desires and resolve the issues that are bound to arise. For both dealers and customers, HDMI matrixes represent one of the most creative solutions for home theater, but can also be one of the most expensive single item devices in a system. However, the investment in Ethereal’s matrix switches will be well worth it due to the added features we’ve designed into our products, providing a hot plug interrupt and additional setup options to avoid device incompatibility issues.

Ethereal by Metra Home Theater Group (MHTG) announces the advancement of their problem-solving HDMI products that protect equipment and fix HDMI compatibility performance at CES 2020. Their HDMI Surge Protector (HDM-SP3), Junior3 (HDM-JR3) and EDID Blocker (HDM-EDIDB3) are based on Ethereal’s original products that were first to market solutions designed to fix common HDMI issues experienced by installers. While their benefit to the installer remains the same, these three electronics have been improved to keep up with evolving technology and the higher bandwidths required in today’s home theater systems, now supporting 24Gbps bandwidth with 6Gbps on all four channels.
