can use an EDID Reader/Writer to provide HDMI/
DVI EDID information.
2. All transmission distances referenced in this manual
are measured using a CAT5e 125MHz cable. The
distance is measure between the HDMI Transmitter
unit and the HDMI display.
3. To reduce interference among the unshielded
twisted pairs of wire in the CAT5e cable, use shielded
CAT5e cables to improve EMI problems which
worsens in longer distances.
4. Transmission length and quality of the received
display depends on the quality of the CAT5e cable.
5. For resolutions greater than 1080i or 1280x1024 a
CAT6 cable is recommended.
