Sunnyvale, CA - January 5, 2004 - At this year’s CES in Las Vegas, Samsung is demonstrating the Newnex FireNEX800™ IEEE 1394 Optical Repeater alongside their newest offerings for digital TV. It is a private, initiation only, screening in the Las Vegas Country Club across from the Las Vegas Convention Center.

Samsung will be giving a live demonstration of their XHT technology. XHT brings a Web interface and a better measure of control to disparate home electronics, allowing easier connectivity than is currently possible using lesser standards.

The FireNEX800™ Optical Repeater allows IEEE1394 signals to be sent across an optical fiber cable up to 1000 meters in length and up to 800 Mbps. This makes it a perfect solution for extending digital video between remote locations.
