Vizionware HDMI Cables Look Impressive

Austin based Vizionware has some adaptive HDMI cables that look very promising in extending the video quality of your HDMI link. We all know that HDMI is a digital transmission technology making it better than the analog Component; but, it still uses analog cables that have an inherent loss and will degrade the signal.

The way digital technologies like HDMI are evaluated are using eye diagrams at the receiver to determine what the signal quality is. Once the analog cable degrades the HDMI signal enough, it will start to 'close' the eye and then the digital HDMI link will drop frames and you have no picture. Vizionware's HDMI cables use several technnology advancements like load balancing and adaptive equalization to keep a wider eye opening at the receiver. This allows you to run your HDMI cable for a longer length, in theory.



If you are trying to run long lengths of HDMI cable then these special cables might do the trick. But they are not cheap, coming in at $550 for a 10 meter length. Remember, the HDMI spec doesn't specify a certain cable length, rather they specify that any HDMI signal has to have a certain eye opening no matter the cable length.
