This marks the second consecutive year that Impact Acoustics has won

house distribution product that supports multiple communication platforms
relating to the cabling and infrastructure within today's digital home.

RapidRun Digital(tm) brings HDMI and DVI capabilities to the

of TMDS video signals by providing HDCP compatible DVI and HDMI signals
more than 80ft from source to display. The system features the
patent-pending RapidRun Digital Active Wall Plate(tm), the first HDMI/DVI
wall plate solution with an integrated equalizer/extender, which corrects
for attenuation and impedance so the signal can be transmitted over the
Digital Runner(tm), the system's base cable, as long as 65ft at 1080p
resolution. Utilizing the 65ft Runner, an Active Wall Plate with a standard
2m HDMI or DVI cable, and a 10ft Flying Lead, the total end to end length
