Does HDMI accommodate long cable lengths?
HDMI technology has been designed to use standard copper cable construction at long lengths. In order to allow cable manufacturers to improve their products through the use of new technologies, HDMI specifies the required performance of a cable but does not specify a maximum cable length. We have seen cables pass “Standard Cable” HDMI compliance testing at lengths of up to a maximum of 10 meters without the use of a repeater. It is not only the cable that factors into how long a cable can successfully carry an HDMI signal, the receiver chip inside the TV or projector also plays a major factor. Receiver chips that include a feature called “cable equalization” are able to compensate for weaker signals thereby extending the potential length of any cable that is used with that device. With any long run of an HDMI cable, quality manufactured cables can play a significant role in successfully running HDMI over such longer distances. HDMI FAQs Q. How can I tell the differences in each version
Yes, HDMI technology has been designed to use standard copper cable construction at long lengths. You can find many options for cables at lengths up to 50 feet. Even longer stretches can be reached with fiber optic cables, and with active cable technologies such as amplifiers or repeaters. What types of video does HDMI support? HDMI can support existing high-definition video formats (720p, 1080i, and even 1080p). It also has the flexibility to support enhanced definition formats such as 480p, as well as standard definition formats such as NTSC or PAL. Is HDMI backward-compatible with DVI (Digital Visual Interface)? HDMI is fully backward-compatible with DVI. HDMI DTV’s will display video received from existing DVI-equipped products, and DVI-equipped TVs will display video from HDMI sources. What is the bandwidth capabilities of HDMI? HDTV uses less than 1/2 of HDMI’s available 5 Gbps bandwidth. With capacity to spare, HDMI can incorporate new technology advancements and capabilities lo
