Using HDMI Switch to Expand HD Theater System

Executive Summary about xbox hd cable by Jeff Su

It is clear that more equipment such as Cable/Satellite Set Top boxes, DVD players, HD DVD players, Personal video recorders, video game stations, and computer video cards will adopt HDMI/DVI. Furthermore many Surround Sound Audio Receivers do not include HDMI switching.

End users can solve this problem by using external HDMI switchers. HDMI switchers allow end users to add HDMI sources and at the same time upgrade their existing Surround Sound Audio Receiver with HDMI switching capabilities. 3×1 HDMI switch allows the user to connect up to 3 HDMI sources and share it with 1 HD monitor or projector.

HDMI Cables, How Far Can You Go?

Executive Summary about xbox hd cable by Devin Collier

Congratulations your beautiful HDTV, all set up in the home theater room. Many cables that are longer then 75ft have boosters built-in to the cables. Since HDMI cables are digital, fiber optic technology can be used to extend the signal well past 100ft. Gefen is a digital video provider that makes a unit that can extend your HDMI connection up to 1640 feet!

After the 16-25 foot mark, pricing for HDMI cables goes dramatically up due to needed amplifiers or boosters. You can purchase cables that have lengths of 25, 30, 50, 75, 100, and 150 feet.
