    How much do cables matter?

    The world of HDMI cables is somewhat misunderstood, mainly as people look at the cable and as long as it has a HDMI plug both ends they should be good to go. I present a two part HDMI course for the CI industry. Part one is the basic HDMI "engine" with troubleshooting, and part two the...

    Topping Audiogear Incoming

    The Furman AC210 is a great addition too! You should try doing an A/B test, with and without the Furman. See this link as well:

    55" TV's - worth spending more?

    It could likely be that you have the CEC enabled on the TV, try disable and see if that helps.

    No sound from DSTV Explora

    The problem is related to an EDID issue. Basically when an HDMI based system is switched on the source and display will do a bit of a communication "dance". The HDMI "engine" has three parts that all need to authenticate to get picture and sound, HPD, EDID and HDCP. When both are powered up the...

    Solar back up power and hifi/AV

    Hi Timbaland, as far as #2 is concerned, yes you would need to look at surge protection as inverters generally do not provide high level transient protection. We have seen inverters and UPS's with "let through" voltage as high as 1000+ volts. So protect your investment and use a high quality DB...

    Adding a surge protector

    According to my latest Santam info on a single phase DB, they require a 40ka, class 2, SABS certified unit to be installed. In that case I will not pay the excess amount if I have a lightning strike. Loadshedding damage, or as they now term "grid failure" is no longer an insured risk and becomes...

    Decent HDMI cable

    Then the fibre solution mentioned will be fine. When entering the HDCP 2.2 world with 4K the HDMI cable choices become very important, especially beyond 5m distances.

    Decent HDMI cable

    What is the resolution requirement as a 15m 4K 48gig cable would be at a much higher price point than a 18gig or even an HDMI Extender set. The limitation of Ethernet extenders is the CAT cable bandwidth and the issue that most RJ45's used is max 1gig, this means a lot of compression is used...

    Decent HDMI cable

    HDMI cables unfortunately vary hugely in quality and spec. At 1 - 3m you are ok with a reasonable brand if you live in a 1080p world but for 4K 4:4:4 you will need an 18gig certified cable. All older, and a fair amount of current HDMI cables will only give you 10.2gig, so check the specs...

    My projector bulb exploded

    Yes mainly when power comes back on where you are at most risk if not protected.

    My projector bulb exploded

    Loadshedding is certainly a huge risk for not only projectors but all our electronics. Making sure these items are isolated from power when loadshedding happens is important but protection at all times is the key. I have attached a case study with projectors and globe issues, very interesting...

    Is a power conditioner worth it?

    Here is a very viable alternative you can look at. It's a 43 year old company with an impeccable history. We have sold these for 10+ years and many of our dealers will not connect equipment unless a Furman is used. This video shows that it is not all snake oil and some companies actually have...
