HD View—HDMI Quick Start Guide

4. Compatible Cabling

HD View—HDMI works with CAT5/5e/6/7 data cabling. Some skew-free CAT5
cabling is specific to a particular vendor and is not compatible with Black Box prod-
ucts. Because of the manufacturing methods, CAT6 cable can exhibit greater skew
than standard CAT5/5e and may require skew compensation beyond what the HD
View—HDMI offers.
NOTE: Transmission distance and performance depend on the cables' signal
resolution, graphics card, and display used in the system. We suggest test-
ing the cable with the product before installation.
For maximum distance runs and/or applications in which uptime is critical, we
recommend using screened twisted pair (ScTP) cable (EYNC770A [bulk PVC cable],
EYNC771A [bulk plenum cable], or EVNSL74-80 [patch cable]) and compatible
screened RJ-45 connectors. This minimizes EMI interference from external sources.

5. Pre-Installation Guidelines

Make sure that the player and the screens are compatible. Check that they work
together before connecting the HD View—HDMI system.
