3 Just Works... Since our founding in 2010, Pulse-Eight has been focused on developing new and improved ways to interact with the home. Initially this was focused on the media center and how you get access to your content quickly. We did this by partnering with Motorola and releasing the acclaimed Motorola NYXboard Hybrid; this revolutionary remote had a standard QWERTY keyboard on the back a normal remote interface on the front. It seems obvious now and they are available from so many different retailers. However, our passion for solving problems and coming up with ways of making things just work continues today as we innovate on our market leading Video Matrixes and Audio Mixing products. All of our products are designed to be plug and play and compatibility with as many possible TVs and Content devices is key to ours and your success. Our web interfaces are intuitive and custom built for quick and easy operation by even the most technophobic user. Where possible all of our products are designed to be connected to the internet, our resilient cloud infrastructure provides you with real time monitoring of the product. Accessible anywhere on any device you can fix problems without needing to go on site or involve the customer with lengthy explanations on what to click and what to type! 2015 has seen us launch a range of new HDCP 2.2 and HDMI 2.0a solutions, details of which are inside

With Ethernet ports, a single Cat5e cable is able to carry Ultra HD video and a LAN connection which cuts down the need for extra cabling or when an existing cable is damaged and repair is not possible. Using PoH (Power over HDBaseT) the Transmitter can provide power to the Receiver which cuts down on an extra power point.

15 CEC SOLUTIONS What is HDMI-CEC? CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) is a universal control bus found in HDMI equipment. It allows a user to effortlessly control their viewing experience with a single remote control. With no setup required, it is the ideal way to provide control between TV and source equipment. 19 Our hardware and software technology allows you to build exciting new user experiences on top of hardware that does not already have support directly for HDMI-CEC. This includes most motherboards found in Home Theatre PCs (HTPC) and Digital Signage equipment. Hundreds of companies already use our software to improve their products and tens of thousands of users improve their home viewing experience with our hardware adapters. Tired of having multiple remotes in the living room? How about just using one for everything with no setup required?

16 USB-CEC Adapter Our popular USB-CEC Adapter, used by hobbyists and professionals the world over to deliver an immersive viewing experience for their family or customers. Banish multiple remotes with this box hidden behind the TV. Use your TV s remote control to pass crucial control information to your Home Theatre PC or hospitality solution. Additionally our USB-CEC Adapter is also used by industry professionals as a trusted way to examine data sent between devices and it is currently the only product on the market providing technical debugging information for the latest HDMI-CEC 2.0 standard. CEC SOLUTIONS 20 Internal HDMI-CEC Adapter Originally designed specifically for Intel, the Internal HDMI- CEC Adapter is a small daughterboard that fits neatly inside the Thin Mini-ITX form factor enclosures, ideal for digital signage solutions as an all-in-one integrated solution to control connected display equipment. The internal adapter offers the added benefit of being able to boot the PC from S5 (off) state thanks to access to an always on power source. Asus has recently started to adopt support for this technology and additional motherboard manufacturers are trialling support also.
