2.0 GETTING THE BEST RESULTS
Many factors inuence the quality and reliability of HDMI switcher
installations. Consider the following and take basic precautions
suggested below to ensure the best possible performance.
• Output display device. The quality of the output signal depends
largely upon the type and quality of the HDMI display device used;
some televisions simply look better than others.
• Distance between the sources and the display. Long distances are
possible, but premium quality cables and advanced HDMI extenders
with DDC correction may be necessary for the longest runs.
• Input/output connection cables. HDMI cable design and quality
are extremely important in long cable runs where capacitance can
severely degrade performance. Cables should be of the best quality;
low quality cables are susceptible to interference. Always use locking
cables or good strain relief methods to prevent cables from becoming
loose over time.
• Interference from nearby electrical devices can have an adverse
effect on signal quality. For example, older computer monitors often
emit a very high electromagnetic eld that can interfere with the
performance of video equipment in its proximity.
