2.0 GETTING THE BEST RESULTS
Many factors influence 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 field that can interfere with the performance of video equipment in its proximity.
