HDMI CABLE
THE HIGH DEFINITION
STANDARDS
CERTIFICATION : All the HDMI Real Cable ® products are HDMI certified by the HDMI
Authorized Test Center and thus ensure the best working safety and compatibility, especially
for big length cables and for the switch/dispatch box. This is identified on the product (or
its packing) by the presence of the official HDMI logo.
HDMI Cable
The scart plug will become in a very
few time obsolete. It will be replaced by
the HDMI (High Definition Multimedia
Interface). This new plug is for video and
audio, in the same way as its ancestor,
but with a noticeable difference : the signals are digital. Image and
sound are transmitted in the best quality. Also, so as not to lose
the benefit of this link, be careful about the cable quality over long
distances, on pain of bad images and sound. All the Real Cable®
HDMI cables are HDCP (content protection management) and
CEC (“Consumer Electronic Control” = communication between
equipments) compliant. HDMI connector is available in mini format
(type C) for mobile application such as HD camcorder.
DVI-D Dual Link Cable
Compared with a DVI-D Single Link cable, the Dual Link doubles
the passing band. This is not to say that it is better than the
Single Link, but that it is simply able to
transit more digital data (up to 2048x1536
progressive 75 Hz). The Dual Link cable is
recommended for data applications and
very high definition. The cable quality is
the determining factor over long distances, on pain of seeing the
image messed up.
DVI-D Single Link Cable
When the video socket of a computer
or DVD player is in DVI format, you can
get a digital video signal out of it. When
the definition does not go beyond 1080i
(1920x1080 interlaced), a DVI-D Single Link cable is then enough for
linking a HDTV source to a digital diffuser and thus get a perfectly
defined and precise image. The cable quality is the determining factor
over long distances, on pain of seeing the image messed up.
DB15 Cable
The connection of a computer to a
monitor, a video projector or a plasma
screen is generally by DB15 cable. An
analogue video signal in RVB goes
through it in two separate syncro
(RVBHV). Over long distances, the importance of the DB15 cable
quality is primordial if you don't want to lose out in definition and
quality.
HDMI/DVI Cable
As the HDMI link uses the operating
principle of the DVI link, there is a video
retro-compatibility between the two
standards. Also, a DVD player with an
HDMI output can, for example, supply
a plasma screen with a DVI-D input,
provided that the DVI connection is HDCP
(High-bandwith, Digital Copy Protection).
It is sometimes necessary to use a DVI
cable on one side and a HDMI on the other to link the video
appliances to each other. HDCP compatible.
DVI-I Dual Link Cable
Compared with a DVI-D Dual Link cable,
the DVI-I Dual Link adds a DB15 type
analogue link. Beware. This is not to
say that the DVI-I Dual Link is the best
DVI cable, for you have to avoid long
distances to transport both digital and
analogue video at the same time. It should be used for very specific
and rare applications where digital and analogical signals have to
travel together.
