HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is the first and only industry-supported, uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface.
HDMI provides an interface between any audio/video source, such as Blu-Ray, satellite set-top box, DVD player, or A/V receiver and an audio and/or video monitor, such as a hi-definition digital television (HDTV), or digital Projector-over a single cable…and the Ecosse HDMI Picture- Perfect™ cables offer the purest signal transfer at prices that will astonish.
Here Ecosse offers up the superb HDMI Picture Perfect™ Ultra+, 1.3 compliant, which enables HDTV’s, PCs and Blu-Ray/DVD players to transmit and display content in billions of colours with unprecedented vividness and accuracy. 1080P up to 4K for the Ultra+ is, as we say in Scotland, a ‘doddle’! It features a proprietary die-casting in the front shell of the deep gold-plated connector- this offers increased EMI protection.
The conductors are silver plated copper, in both the ‘going’ and ‘return’ signals-for faster smoother transmission-with a low loss primary dielectric of polyethylene and a secondary dielectric of polypropylene to ensure minimal signal transmission loss. The whole is protected from extraneous ‘noise’ by a triple screening of OFC close-lapped copper braid + Aluminium-Mylar and covered in a tough PVC cladding. Its 1.3 specification more than doubles HDMI’s bandwidth and adds support for Deep Colour technology, a broader colour space, new digital audio formats, automatic audio/video synching capability (“lip sync”).
Cables in lengths ranging from 1.5m right up to 15m are available-to take care of ALL your connection requirements-particularly those to ceiling-mounted projectors requiring extra long lengths. Indeed HDMI technology has been designed to use standard copper cable construction at long lengths.
Heres what the superb Ultra+ exhibits:
•Increases single-link bandwidth from 165MHz (4.95 gigabits per second) to 340 Mhz (10.2 Gbps)
•Supports 30-bit, 36-bit, and 48-bit (RGB or YCbCr) color depths or over one billion colors, up from 24-bit in previous versions.*
•Incorporates automatic audio syncing capability.
•Supports output of Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio streams for external decoding by AV receivers. TrueHD and DTS-HD are lossless audio codec formats used on HD DVDs and Blu-ray Discs.
•Lets HDTVs and other displays go from millions of colours to billions of colours*
•In addition to HDMI’s current ability to support high-bandwidth uncompressed digital audio and currently-available compressed formats (such as Dolby® Digital and DTS), HDMI 1.3 adds additional support for new, lossless compressed digital audio formats Dolby® TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio™.
HDMI signals present a great challenge to cable manufacturers, because their extreme speed makes them especially sensitive to cable quality. Ecosse HDMI cables work over longer distances better than our competitors thanks to our superior conductor materials and proprietary cable construction which follow in the traditions and high-reputation we command among discerning audio and videophiles.
