I bought a 16-meter Kimber cable na HDMI. Very expensive. Sira, and it took several weeks to determine that it was the cable. Akala kasi muna ung dvd player or ang projector.

I also have a P1200 HDMI cable from Pioneer, P800 HDMI cable from Electronic Boutique and P200 HDMI cable from CD-R King. I think all of them are exactly the same, except for the Kimber cable that was so expensive tapos sira pala.

Sir, question po....bakit kailangan ninyo ng 16-meter HDMI? Makalayo yun projector and DVD player? Ang laki siguro ng HT Room ninyo.

Yung 3-meter kasi ang haba na para sa akin eh.

I wish CDR-King will have a 7m HDMI.

Sir streetsmart, was there a degradation in video quality using your long 16 meter HDMI cable? Is it noticeable in your pj display?

I guess I can only absolutely say that there was a degradation in pq if I connected the pj to a shorter HDMI cable and then compared the pq to that with a longer cable. E di ko naman ginawa yun kasi parang academic exercise lang.

What I can say is that the pj has been calibrated by 2 professionals, including one who is ISF-certified. They both say that the pq is excellent.

16 meters (about 52 ft) is quite long cable. Doesn't it need some sort of signal equalizer to maintain picture quality? I supposed your cable is of very good quality.

I have read this from the Oppo website:

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does the HM-31 HDMI Switch support long HDMI cables?

A: Yes. The HM-31 HDMI Switch has a built-in signal equalizer. The signal equalizer removes distortion from the input HDMI signal after it travels over long cables and restores the signal quality/strength. We have tested the HM-31 HDMI Switch passing 1080p signal successfully with a 50-foot cable between the source and the HM-31's input, and another 50-foot cable between the HM-31's output and the TV. The total cable length from the source to the TV is 100 feet. Of course, in any particular installation, the maximum cable length depends on many factors - quality of cables used, signal quality at the source, and the tolerance of the display device.

Q: What does the "built-in signal equalizer" do?

A: The signal equalizer is a key component to support long HDMI cables. It removes distortion from the input HDMI signal after it travels over long cables and restores the signal quality/strength. We have tested the HM-31 HDMI Switch passing 1080p signal successfully with a 50-foot cable between the source and the HM-31's input, and another 50-foot cable between the HM-31's output and the TV. The total cable length from the source to the TV is 100 feet.

Nice quote but I have no problems with my long cable. Actually, I think my cable is 50 feet, not 16 meters.

I used to have a 16 meter S-video cable and for that, I had to provide a signal booster, which clearly helped improve pq. In the case of the HDMI cable, however, I find no need whatsoever. The pq is pretty good.

just bought a cdr king hdmi cable yesterday, daming stock sa rob pioneer. i learned 2 palang klase yun may silver and may gold (color) yung connector. i've tried comparing it with a bandridge hmdi cable, for me no difference in pq. cost lang ang difference, cdr king cable P250, bandridge cable, FREE

antikryst · « **Reply #99 on:** Feb 13, 2008 at 11:12 AM »

since hdmi works on a digital signal...pq should be the same no matter how long it is. it either works or it doesnt.

I think I will modify my response. My 50-foot HDMI cable goes to the pj from a video processor. I have recently read that this video processor has a high output voltage which allows it to transmit the video signal over 50-foot cables and that this is not possible with normal AVR's.

If this is the case, then perhaps the quotation above from LETOR is correct. You may need a booster when the HDMI cable length is 50 feet or more.

Ako I use something like this to run a 20M hdmi connection. Basically it uses cat5e cables instead of hdmi wire. Looks great on my pj, walang signal loss.

IceTea · « **Reply #102 on:** Feb 18, 2008 at 09:17 AM »

Ok ito ah. Does it have it's own power source? I believe Cat5 can run as long as 100m.....based on Computer LAN specs.

glacierfrost · « **Reply #103 on:** Feb 18, 2008 at 10:08 AM »

It needs external power source. You can see on the second picture there is a round hole, that's where the power cable goes. It can go as long as 120M but only in 1080i. Maximum with 1080p is 60M.

I bought an HDMI cable last Sunday from CD-R King. Of course at first, I dread it will have some sort of problems; but so far its great. Connected to my 50" Sony HDTV and my PS3.

And I got the 2m which is P250. And unlike the 1.8m one, its actually in a good container, with info at the back. lol. So mas na wala ang worry ko.

In my experience, there seems to be no such thing as an HDMI 1.3 cable. An HDMI cable can handle any version of HDMI.

HDMI 1.3 defined two categories of cables: Category 1 (standard or HDTV) and Category 2 (high-speed or greater than HDTV) to reduce the confusion about which cables support which video formats. Using 28 AWG, a cable of about 5 metres (~16 ft) can be manufactured easily and inexpensively to Category 1 specifications. Higher-quality construction (24 AWG, tighter construction tolerances, etc.) can reach lengths of 12 to 15 metres (~39 to 49 ft). In addition, active cables (fiber optic or dual Cat-5 cables instead of standard copper) can be used to extend HDMI to 100 metres or more. Some companies also offer amplifiers, equalizers and repeaters that can string several standard (non-active) HDMI cables together

from Wikipedia...

If your AVR, TV and DVD players (HD or SD) support HDMI 1.3 already, might as well go for the HDMI 1.3 cable..
