TORONTO, ONTARIO and PALO ALTO, CALIFORNIA--(Marketwired - March 31, 2014) - Spectra7 Microsystems Inc. (TSX VENTURE:SEV) ("Spectra7"), a high performance analog semiconductor company delivering unprecedented speed, resolution and signal fidelity to consumer and wireless infrastructure products, today announced that Newegg Inc. ("Newegg") is offering the entire CouchConnect™ product line on its website newegg.com. CouchConnect™ is an ultra-thin and ultra-light active HDMI cable, transforming any mobile handheld device into a large screen HDTV experience.
Newegg is an award-winning electronics-focused e-retailer with more than 25 million registered users. Founded in 2001, Newegg now has more than 10.5 million different products for sale online in the U.S. and Canada. Newegg is consistently recognized as a top 15 consumer electronic (CE) online retailer by major industry publications including Twice Magazine and Dealerscope for its high customer service ratings and superior online shopping experience.
"Newegg is committed to exceptional customer service," said Soren Mills, Chief Marketing Officer of Newegg North America. "CouchConnect's simplicity enables a superior post-sales experience for all of our customers, and the product's design appeals to our high-tech enthusiasts by mirroring any content from a mobile device to the Big Screen."
Featuring Spectra7's patented, high speed active signal processing chip, at more than 16 feet long and 0.11 inches thick, CouchConnect™ is up to five times longer, lighter and thinner compared to traditional HDMI cables which cannot achieve the same length, weight or size simultaneously. Moreover, no external power is required as a result of Spectra7's embedded power harvesting technology. CouchConnect™ spans more than 16 feet from the couch to the living room HDTV which is the optimal viewing distance for HD displays 40" and larger.
"We are thrilled to be broadening our online presence as we add Newegg to the increasing list of both traditional storefront retailers and e-tailers shipping CouchConnect™ across North America," said Tony Stelliga, CEO of Spectra7. "We are charting new territory by expanding beyond our traditional sales channels to meet the burgeoning demand for CouchConnect™ from gamers and business professionals to novice home users, who finally have a simple, no-fuss product that expands the mobile viewing experience beyond the small handheld device by mirroring any content up to 4K UltraHD resolution to any large screen HDTV."
