HDMI quick reference guide
Ever feel like your home entertainment setup isn't quite delivering the experience you deserve? Blurry visuals and frustrating audio dropouts – these issues can quickly pull you out of the movie, game, or fav' TV show you're trying to enjoy. Wagner Online's HDMI cable collection is here to change that.
There are several grades of HDMI cables available to choose from. Different versions of HDMI cables offer different maximum bandwidth which can effect maximum resolution and also some feature sets.
- V1.4 Considering that the vast majority of today's broadcast media content will fit within the bandwidth of HDMI Version 1.4 then many cables should prove to be suitable for most general AV equipment connections./li>
- The consequence to economies of scale is that an under-rated cable may result in the loss of some features, dropping pixels on the screen, intermittent signal, and deterioration of reliability in the long term.
- V2.0 Premium High Speed and Ultra High Speed V2.1 will future-proof your interconnections and would be recommended for long term installations requiring reliability and optimum performance.
- Long-Run situations (above 3 meters), it is recommended to use an over-rated cable for better signal integrity and noise rejection depending on electrical interference with each application.
- Bandwidth and Resolution Specifications given with each cable have been tested and verified here in-house by our technicians.
- Where there are no parameters given with a cable, it is assumed the HDMI specifications are minimal (un-tested).
- Other considerations offered by the HDMI cable versions is the feature set included in the transfer.
