About HDMI 2.1 – Here’s Everything you Need to Know about the New Standard

by andrewthecableninja Leave a comment

HDMI 2.1 has arrived in full force and is taking the home theater world by storm with impressive audio-visual capabilities unlike what’s been possible in previous home theater cables. As technology marches further on towards higher definition TV content, meet the ultimate cable to match.

The new standard promises no-lag gaming, amazing high-definition, and officially reigns in the time of 8K HDMI cables. It’s been years since HDMI cables first hit the market. Discarding older connectors and confusing audio-video cables, they ushered in a time of a single standard home theater cable fully capable of carrying amazing audio and video signals. In the past decade, there’s been continual improvement towards making HDMI cables better and better. As TV technology has progressed, that has meant upgrading to 4K and now to 8K. Prior to HDMI 2.1, cables could not support 8K content at 60 frames per second. Now, for the first time, they can.

 

That’s not the only feature to get excited about relating to HDMI 2.1 cables. These cables also come with several support features including variable refresh rates, dynamic HDR, and quick media switching. In an era where we are connecting more and more devices and software to our flat-screens, using an HDMI 2.1 cable, you’ll find it easier than ever to switch between signals. Needless to say, if you’re looking for fast refresh rates, home theater HDMI cables like this are perfect. For gamers, home theater enthusiasts, and others in need of that reliable, fast signal, this marks a significant improvement over the prior standard.

 

The biggest proving ground for the HDMI 2.1 cable will be the upcoming Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games as they are set to be broadcast by NHK, Japan’s national public broadcaster, in 8K-120. For as much hoopla as 4K has received, expect 8K’s marketing push to be even bigger. Though not a future-proof cable by any means, this iteration of an HDMI cable is capable of going up to 10K at 120 Hz. Sure, not everyone needs 8K resolution. For those that love that crystal clear high-definition experience though, there’s nothing as advanced as this. Furthermore, those obsessed with virtual reality (VR), this is a sector targeting high resolution and high frame rates.

 

All in all, HDMI 2.1 cables is the go-to home theater cable for 4K, 8K, and beyond. As we move towards more advanced television broadcasts and an era of 8K TVs, suit up with the most advanced HDMI cable available.

How to use the HDMI switch?

by andrewthecableninja Leave a comment

There are more than a dozen HDMI switches in the PrimeCables catalogue that have become Canadian favourites. If you’ve ever wanted to connect multiple HDMI devices to a single flat-screen TV or monitor, begin by browsing HDMI switches priced as low as $17.99.

 

HDMI switches work well with cameras, gaming consoles, laptops, DVD players, Blu-Ray Disc players, monitors, and so much more. HDMI switches can range from the most basic to those with more unique, advanced features you may not have considered before.

 

We can’t emphasize enough to never buy an HDMI switch from a cheap source. Cheaply made HDMI switches pose a safety danger to your electronics. That’s not what you want. Buy from a trusted source like PrimeCables to take advantage of a Canadian-made product that is high quality and yet still priced favorably cheap.

 

Next time you think you’re stuck with a TV with a single HDMI input, know you’re not. Connecting multiple HDMI devices to a single screen is easily accomplishable using a switch. Using your HDMI switch box, you won’t have to swop out different cables. Instead, you’ll have the opportunity to switch between signals as you please. It’s as easy as pressing a button on your remote!

 

For an HDMI switch to two screens, you may consider the Blackbird 2×1 HDMI switch 1080p for $17.99 or the Blackbird 2×1 HDMI 1.4 switch pigtail HDCP 1080p for $26.99.

 

For an HDMI switch to three screens, there’s the Blackbird 3×1 HDMI 1.4 switch 1080p for $15.99, the 3×1 Pigtail HDMI 1080p switch in black for $9.99, and an HDMI amplifier switcher 4K with built-in equalizer and remote for $24.99.

 

For an HDMI switch for up to 4 screens, we have the 4×1 HMI switcher with full 3D and 4K support with ultra-high definition video and audio for $24.99.

 

Finding the best HDMI switch for your setup depends on many things. The type of media, length of HDMI cables, and home theater setup all have a role to play. If you’re unsure on what to choose for an HDMI switch, please feel encouraged to browse the PrimeCables catalogue.

 

The great thing about shopping with PrimeCables is any time you shop with us, you’re going to receive free returns, a 1-year product guarantee ensuring maximum satisfaction with your purchase, and a ‘free shipping’ coupon included on all orders above $49.

What is an HDMI splitter and when do you need it?

by andrewthecableninja Leave a comment

For home theater enthusiasts, gamers, video editors, and home entertainment system owners, splitting up video signal between multiple screens is something a lot of people chase after. Now, there are obviously different ways to go about doing this, using mirrors, extenders, and all sorts of gizmos.

 

Though those options exist, the single product which is perhaps safest to use, and one which will deliver the highest quality performance and video signal, is an HDMI splitter. If you have an HDMI connector on your flat-screen, using an HDMI splitter is exactly what you’re going to want. Instantly send a single HDMI video to multiple screens.

 

HDMI splitters are built to duplicate a single HDMI source on two or more HDMI displays. Doing this via Bluetooth or streaming device connection is sometimes called “mirroring”. If you’ve ever mirrored one device to your flat-screen, you’ve likely seen its limitations. Using an HDMI splitter, you can show the same audio and video simple as that. Note that this is not an HDMI switch which is something entirely different. A splitter splits a single source into two signals while a switch works by taking multiple sources of video, providing the user the opportunity to move between them.

 

If you’re looking for a two-way HDMI splitter, there’s the massive and professional grade HDMI extender 1×2 splitter manufactured from Monoprice for $161.99, and the much more affordable HDMI splitter 1×2 with full 3D and 4K HDMI connection for $34.99.

 

If you’re looking for a four-way HDMI splitter, there’s the 1×4 HDMI amplifier splitter over Cat6 complete solution kit from Monoprice for $319.99, the Blackbird 4K 1×4 HDMI splitter with 4K support for $69.99, and the 4K-supported HDMI splitter metal powered amplifier with chipsets for $31.99.

 

If you’re looking for an eight-way HDMI splitter, see the Monoprice-manufactured 1×8 HDMI amplifier splitter over Cat5e/Cat6 complete solution kit for $519.99. ‘Free shipping’ coupon included, some of the eight-way HDMI splitters features include gold-plated HDMI connectors, uncompressed audio, eight-bit per channel deep color, and easy installation.

 

Reviewing these HDMI splitters and so many others, they range in price. If you are looking for something high quality and that won’t break your bank, PrimeCables can help. Even better, ‘free shipping’ is included on any purchase or order above $49. Choose the look, design, and features which appeal best to you, and get ready to take advantage of a multi-purpose HDMI splitter which can do no wrong. Shop PrimeCables today!

How to extend your HDMI signal?

by andrewthecableninja Leave a comment

Have you ever wished you had the capacity to extend your HDMI signal – well, if this is you, we might have the perfect solution. PrimeCables specializes in HDMI cables and as Canada’s top eCommerce resources for HDMI products, we see a lot of requests and queries surrounding adaptors and extenders. After speaking with our manufacturers and suppliers, we are proud to be able to bring to the table devices to extend HDMI signals by up to 328 ft.!

 

Check it out. This is a little about how it works. Normally, if you wanted to send a signal as far as this, one would have to get a really expensive long HDMI cable, possibly multiples and having them connected via extenders or adapters. Comparatively, when using an HDMI extender, you can maximize the use of existing Cat5e or Cat6 cables to transfer signal. By this route, one can transfer deep color video and lossless compressed audio.

 

Some of the HDMI extension products you’ll find available via PrimeCables includes the HDMI extender over UTP cable with pigtail support 1080p for $17.99, the HDMI extender 164 ft. over UTP cable Cat 5e/6 HDMI extender support 1080p for $69.99, and the professional grade HDMI extender 1×2 splitter for $161.99. The latter comes with ‘free shipping’ included to anywhere in Canada, alongside free returns and a 1-year product guarantee. If you’re looking to distribute the input of the HDMI signal into two identical outputs simultaneously, this is precisely the product you want. See two RJ45 outputs, adherence to the IEEE-568B standard, long-distance transmission capability, video resolution up to 1080p, and optimum safety and performance included.

 

We would also like to mention some exclusive PrimeCables-only deals on premium HDMI high-speed Ethernet cables with Nylon jacket protection that are second to none. Choose from lengths ranging from three feet for $4.99 to six feet for $5.99, ten feet for $7.99, and fifteen feet for $7.99. Depending on what you’re looking to make with your home entertainment setup, these cables are absolutely worth considering alongside any HDMI extension product.

How to Choose an HDMI Cable

by andrewthecableninja Leave a comment

Cheap, high quality HDMI cables are only a click away with PrimeCables. Now an essential part of most home theater systems and monitor setups, HDMI cables are used for smart TVs, gaming consoled, PCs, and all sorts of devices.

 

There may be the perception that there is some disparity between the prices of some HDMI cables. If you are wondering how to choose an HDMI cable, you’ve come to the right place. There are five predominant types of HDMI cables to browse, all available in the PrimeCables catalogue. There’s the ‘premium standard’ which is best for anyone seeking low price but high quality. There’s nothing fancy about it but as a standard-issued HDMI cable, it gets the job done with a high-speed connection. Then, there is ‘flexible’ which allows one to manipulate the ends of their cable, perfect for use in tight spaces, for wall mounting, and/or to protect the internal ports. If you have traditionally had trouble connecting cables behind your screen, a flexible type cable might be best.

 

The other three types of HDMI cables are where things tend to get a little fancy. There’s the ‘use in-wall HDMI cable’ which comes with a CL2 rating jacket manufactured specially for use inside or through the walls of residential buildings. Starting at only $3.99, it’s a real steal at PrimeCables to go for an in-wall cable like this. Next, there’s the ‘Nylon Jacket protection’ type which is our best-selling HDMI cable. Featuring a superior performance and reliability for extended use, the Nylon jacket provides far more protection than other cable types. If you have pets who like to chew on cables or have had issues in the past with broken cables, you may want to consider a jacket with more protection.

 

Lastly, there’s the absolute best HDMI cable on the market – the HDMI 2.0 4K cable. Using this high quality HDMI cable, you’ll notice 4K resolution at 60Hz wrapped in a Nylon jacket. Even better, the cable’s starting price is $8.49 so it’s actually not that expensive at all, especially compared to what you’ll find in retail. As evidence, there are some changes in picture quality and price that one may want to weigh. Depending on the intention you wish to use it for, length may also be given some consideration. The ultimate thing we can guarantee when buying an HDMI cable via PrimeCables is reliability. You’ll get a high quality A/V capable of handling gaming consoles, laptops, and all sorts of devices.
