A good test to see if ur cable will withstand the 1.3b bandwidth is by using a WDTV Live player, hooking ur HDMI cable direct to a display (hopefully one that supports 12bit), then on the WDTV Live setup select 1080p/23.976 (or 60Hz), YCbCr and 12 bit colour. If u get sparklies, or dropouts when using this method, then ur cable does not support 1.3b. If it works, then the cable is good enuf for current standards. This is a good test to check ur cables. YCbCr 4:4:4 and 12 bit at full HD that is sent by the player more or less maximizes the bandwidth at the cable. |

QUOTE(sKyWiR3pT3lTd @ Apr 11 2010, 12:38 PM) Great tips. But does it work the same on the PC? 36 bit is slightly higher bandwidth. Also u need to ensure that the source sends out a full hd signal. One good example is for the WDTV Live setup pages.I set my refresh rate to 59hz , YCbCr 32bit color. You think i can try the setting you suggested?  |

QUOTE(sKyWiR3pT3lTd @ Apr 11 2010, 03:50 PM) 32bit bro. Source sending out full hd signal. Im using Dynamic contrast enhancement. Gamma set to default. If u're not getting any audio dropouts and sparklies, then the cable is fine.Using YCbCr444 . 60hz 32bit. Refreshed and it looks fantastic. Thanks for the tips.. |

QUOTE(in_george @ Apr 12 2010, 11:03 PM) Just bought one for myself today at Tesco, for RM10! Do let us know if u r using it with no problems at 12bit, YCBCr, WDTV Live. If there are no audio dropouts and u see either a 12bit or 36bit to ur display, then this cable would work fine. Or maybe I can check and let u guys know if I can get a hold of them.Using it with my WDTV now. [attachmentid=1524912] |

QUOTE(sonixmedia @ Apr 13 2010, 09:30 AM) I am using it, bought from Tesco Tebrau City here in JB, been using it with my WDTV Live and when I turn on the 12bit YCBCr I do experience sound dropouts and some interruptions. Now I just use the 12bit with Auto setting. Without a problem. For me RM10 its a bargain. Thanks. What display do u own? Also are us also using Auto on the resolution page?  It work better then my other HDMI cable with cost me around RM30.00. This one can't even play at 12bit at all.  As I mentioned, YCbCr 12bit, 1080p (23.976/60Hz) just about maximises the bandwidth of the cables. This is a good indicator. If the resolution is dropped it will reduce the bandwidth needed. |
