M3B Greatly Expands HDMI® Installation Ease and Versatility

HOLLY HILL, Fla. – September 24, 2015 – Metra Home Theater Group, a leading provider of home theater products and accessories, announces the M3B (Metra Multimedia Broadcast) Systems to its lineup of products. The M3B Systems which comes in two flavors, hardwired and wireless, enables integrators to install either a flexible multi-source video distribution system into any home using the existing coax and splitters or a point to point long distance wireless system.

M3B Systems

The coax-based M3B System consists of receivers (RF RX), transmitters (RF TX) and a robust wireless system. This M3B System allows integrators to provide multiple sources to multiple displays at 1080p over common coax and splitters with easy setup and a simple source selection via any programmable remote, thus eliminating the need for a control system. Source selections are made by changing the input on the on the display side receiving unit. No networking skills are required for the installation.

The RF TX transmitters make it simple to setup sources via provided channel selection buttons and include an LED channel display and 100-channel output selection. The RF RX receivers include the remote control for source selection as well as a complete Hex code setup for learning remotes, an IR receiver and the same LED channel display and 100-channel output selection seen in the RF TX transmitter.

Next, the M3B wireless system works up to 200 meters line of sight with full 1080p support allowing RF signal transmission through walls. In addition, optional Enhance Performance Antennas are available to boost signals if distance dictates.

"The M3B System is a true game-changer. Residential video distribution has just become much simpler and far less expensive than with any other solution currently on the market," said Jessy Crabb, general manager of Metra Home Theater Group. "By eliminating wire runs to a centrally located matrix, requiring no networking skills for setup and no need for a control system, video distribution just took a major step forward in affordability for many end-users who previously only dreamed of this convenience."

Metra Home Theater Group will showcase the M3B Systems, along with its entire product line up at CES 2016 from January 6th – 9th, 2016 in Las Vegas, Nevada at booth 8232 located in LVCC’s Central Hall.
