mCable, a video-enhancing HDMI device developed and patented by Silicon Valley-based Marseille Networks, will be available from late October 2015.

“mCable is far superior to any HDMI cable on the market today, as the only device that enhances picture quality. Passive HDMI cables are generally all the same, whether they are priced at $10 or $300. At best, the passive cables are capable of producing an output that is equal to the input. As of today, despite the explosive growth of 4K televisions in the market, there is extremely limited availability of 4K content. In real time, the mCable is capable of taking HD content and generating 4K content, 4K Image Certified by Technicolor,” says president and CEO of Marseille Networks Amine Chabane.

The mCable can enhance and upscale 1080p HD up to 4K quality, as well as transform 480p SD and 720p HD up to 1080p HD quality. In other words, the mCable improves Blu-ray content, as well as legacy DVD and broadcast television content.  Marseille’s new product works with any source device with an HDMI output, including Blu-ray/DVD players, set-top boxes, Apple TV, Roku, Tivo and video game consoles.

The mCable is the only cable 4K Image Certified by Technicolor, Hollywood’s premier technology provider.
