• STANDARD (or “category 1”) HDMI cables perform
at speeds of 75Mhz or up to 6.75Gbps, which is the
equivalent to a 720p/1080i signal.
• All WyreStorm equipment support HIGH-SPEED
(or “category 2”) HDMI cables that have been tested
to perform at speeds of 340Mhz or up to 10.2Gbps,
which is the highest bandwidth currently utilised over
an HDMI cable and can successfully handle 1080p
signals including those at increased color depths and/
or increased refresh rates from the Source. High-Speed
cables are also able to accommodate higher resolution
displays, such as WQXGA cinema monitors (resolution of
2560 x 1600).
What about screens with different
resolution capabilities?
When sending a signal point to point a TV will
communicate it’s capabilities to the source, then the
source will output a suitable signal that compatible (i.e.
1080p Stereo audio). If you were to use a matrix switch
with three 1080p screens and one 1080i screen, the
resultant image would be 1080i across all screens. The
matrix switches do not scale per output but instead
negotiate with the source a signal that all screens are
capable of supporting.
How does the Matrix cope with HDCP?
HDCP (High Definition Copyright Protection) is a feature
built in to HDMI devices to prevent theft of or illegal
distribution of HD content. Unlike competing products,
WyreStorm matrix switches are legal and comply with
HDCP regulations. They do this by assigning a “key” to
every display connected to the switch. HDCP “keys” are
assigned to a display when connected to a HDMI device
normally. This doesn’t change when connected to a
switch; it just assigns more of them.
I can get 1080i but not 1080p at a TV
location
Firstly ensure that both the source is outputting 1080p
and that the TV is Full HD 1080p screen. If this is the case
then the receiver Cat 5e or Coax may need setting up
for long cable mode using the DIP switches. This useful
feature uses an alternative Equalisation method to re-sync
the signal over longer distances.
I cannot get a signal out from my A/V
receiver along a Cat 5e extender set
Check to ensure that the A/V Receiver isn’t adding CEC
(HDMI Control Protocol) to the outgoing signal, this can
sometimes have an effect on the HDMI signal.
Clean this unit with a soft, dry cloth only. Never use
alcohol, paint thinner or other harsh chemicals.
