12 HDMI and Wireless Brought to you by There is no such thing as Wireless HDMI! However, there are several companies working on wireless solutions for HD Quality 60 Ghz range 5 Gbps Standards Organizations 3 Gbps Ghz (UWB) 480 Mbps Time to Market - Cost Sponsored by

13 Equipment Interconnect: Passive Cables Most connectors will pass through 7/8" hole Up to 15 meters (on avg.) Passive Cables Category 1: Standard Speed (up to 720p/1080i) Category 2: High-Speed (beyond 1080p, up to 10.2Gbps) No power supply required Up to 15 meters (~50 ft) in length on average Can be longer depending on the manufacturer NOTE: There is no limit to cable length within the HDMI spec. This is only limited by the manufacturers ability to make them

14 NOTE: Basic HDMI = video + 2-ch PCM Audio Basic HDMI only Deep Color 120Hz From Source Dolby TrueHD DTS HD MA 8-Ch PCM Audio CEC x.v.color 480i Standard Standard Standard Standard Standard Standard Standard 480p Standard Standard Standard Standard Standard Standard Standard 720p Standard High Speed High Speed Standard Standard Standard Standard 1080i Standard High Speed High Speed Standard Standard Standard Standard 1080p High Speed High Speed High Speed High Speed High Speed High Speed High Speed

15 Equipment Interconnect: Active Cables Most connectors will pass through 7/8" hole Up to 50 meters Active Cables Has active electronics built-in to help boost the signal Power supply required Only requires power at one end Up to 50 meters (~165 ft) in length Length limit varies between manufacturer. NOTE: There is no limit to cable length within the HDMI spec. This is only limited by the manufacturers ability to make them

16 Equipment Interconnect: Passive Cable Extender/Booster Cable Extenders/Boosters Allows you to connect two passive cables to create a longer virtual active cable Power supply required in most cases Some may work without the power supply but not recommended Up to 30 meters (~100 ft) in length Length limit varies between manufacturer NOTE: There is no limit to cable length within the HDMI spec. This is only limited by the manufacturers ability to make them

17 Equipment Interconnect: HDMI-to-Cat5/6 HDMI-to-CAT5/6 Converts HDMI signal so it can be retransmitted through CAT5/6 cables Requires 2 x CAT5/6 cables per HDMI connection Power supply required Up to 60 meters (~200 ft) in length Length limit varies between manufacturer

18 Equipment Interconnect: HDMI-to-Fiber HDMI-to-Fiber Converts HDMI signal so it can be retransmitted through Fiber cables Power supply required Two types of devices All-in-one: Fiber cabling and electronics all-in-one Modular: Fiber cabling must be run separately between the modules Up to 100 meters (~330 ft) in length Length limit varies between manufacturer

19 Equipment Interconnect: Wall Plates Passive Wall Plate Does not boost the signal No power supply required Active Wall Plate Boosts the signal with active electronics Power supply required Cable length support varies between manufacturer NOTE: There is no limit to cable length within the HDMI spec. This is only limited by the manufacturers ability to make them

20 Equipment Interconnect: Switches Switches between multiple HDMI sources Input/Output ports: Input: Multiple (# of ports varies between manufacturers) Output: One Power supply required IR remote and/or RS232 option Can help extend cable length, similar to cable extenders/boosters NOTE: Passive switches without a power supply option are noncompliant and should be report to hdmi.org

21 Equipment Interconnect: Splitters/Distributors Mirrors one HDMI source to multiple HDMI displays or inputs Input/Output ports: Input: One Output: Multiple (# of ports varies between manufacturers. up to 127 with HDCP) Power supply required IR remote and/or RS232 option Can help extend cable length, similar to cable extenders/boosters NOTE: Passive splitters are non-compliant and will not work. Please report any to hdmi.org

22 Equipment Interconnect: Matrix Switches

23 Equipment Interconnect: Matrix Switches Combines the functionality of both a splitter and a switch Input/Output ports: Input: Multiple (# of ports varies between manufacturers) Output: Multiple (# of ports varies between manufacturers. Up to 127 with HDCP) Power supply required IR remote and/or RS232 option Can help extend cable length, similar to cable extenders/boosters NOTE: Passive matrix switches are non-compliant and will not work. Please report any to hdmi.org Sponsored by

24 Equipment Interconnect Tips Brought to you by All the extender/booster type devices can be chained together in almost any combination to create a very long cable run (> 330 ft) Example: HDMI-to-CAT5/6 (200 ft) + HDMI-to-Fiber (330 ft) + Active Cable (150 ft) + HDMI-to-CAT5/6 (200 ft) Look for the official HDMI logo Logo means it passed the official HDMI Compliance Test Determine the need for HDCP support Not all devices support HDCP since it may not be required for its intended use (i.e. kiosks, airports, hotels) Many cable extenders/boosters are only one way Each end only takes one type connection, input or output and not both Sponsored by

25 Common Installation Issues Brought to you by A/V Receiver Added to a System DTV HDMI HDMI HDMI Error! Sponsored by

26 Common Installation Issues Brought to you by Source Switching Support Set Top Box DTV Error! DVD Player Sponsored by

27 HDMI Troubleshooting: Tips Brought to you by Always look for products with the official HDMI logo Research and understand the features and limitation of each product purchased Test all products before installation Cable STB: Depending on the region some will have older firmware which may cause HDMI issues. Please contact the service providers and then contact hdmi.org about the issues Determine the need for HDCP Not all products support HDCP since it may not be required for the product s intended use (i.e. kiosks, airports, hotels) Report any and issues to hdmi.org HDMI works with manufacturers to correct issues HDMI has and will recall any HDMI products that s causing major issues in the market Sponsored by
