HDMI Tips for Installers
•
Use Active equipment over Passive wherever possible
•
Insure all devices are on the most recent firmware
•
Insure all devices are on the same AC circuit if possible
•
Keep solid HDMI runs under 25ft (use 24AWG) and go to HDBaseT extenders for runs over
25'.
•
Use best cabling possible, the higher bandwidth the better.
•
CAT5e or better - use shielded (STP) when you are not absolutely sure what is behind the
wall.
•
Use only solid copper CAT cables - no CCA.
•
Don’t over complicate the system with too many devices in series. Too many handshakes
cause unexpected and unwanted results.
•
Try to buy all the HDMI devices and HDMI cables from one vendor as they have been
tested with each other assuring system interoperability.
•
Cycle power on all devices in the system - this will cause a hot plug event and will cause
the source to read the sink EDID again and possibly return the system to normal operation
•
Make sure everything in the system is HDCP 2.2 compliant in a UHD distribution system.
