    Interesting and helpful video, but I had real problems with your cut away oblique shots. I think if you are going to do that you need to make the perspective very different. Your second camera is too close to the first. There's a rule we used to use involving angles and percentages, a bit like 180 degree rule. I wish I could remember the values! Anyway, good luck, and thanks for the information!

    I'm sure it's been too long so you probably won't see this but if so I could use some help. My sister has a drawing tablet with a 3 to 1 cable and the tablet's colors have gone mute (not completely black and white). A new cable is $40 so we're trying to find a way to see if it is actually the cable before buying a new one. Any suggestions

    Thanks for the info. I just bought a new HDMI cable to connect to my M2 Mac Mini and Samsung monitor and it flickers when I touched the head of the HDMI itself and sometimes it goes blackout and I had to touch and shake the head of the HDMI a bit then the picture came back on again! So I went to buy another HDMI cable and the issues had been resolved! I was wondering that it's a new cable, how can it be faulty??

    • @nicksmith6720
      @nicksmith6720 Před 2 lety

      It means that your operation system knows very few details about the model of your monitor (display). Theoretically you could install native drivers for this device, but if it works well - I wouldn't recommend this. Popping up in Bluetooth devices is weird, unless it has Bluetooth speakers built in

    I just purchased a new 50ft hdmi cable and I noticed while watching blu Ray movies it tends to cut out for a few seconds. Could it be the cable then?

    • @openaircinema
      @openaircinema  Před rokem +1

      50 ft is a long cable for HDMI. I noticed that only expensive 50 ft HDMI cables are managing okay. Besides that Bluray movies might be in 4K resolution and high bit rate, which is also difficult to transfer via HDMI on a long distance. The most effective way to check if the problem is with your long HDMI is to take short HDMI and see if the cut outs persist..

    Gday my Xbox doesn’t connect to my tv anymore and I don’t know if it’s the hdmi cable or the console, is this a common problem with hdmi cables and consoles? Cheers

    • @openaircinema
      @openaircinema  Před 3 lety

      Hi Jack! It is a common problem specifically with consoles, because usually they transmit signal in high resolution at a high bit rate. With time HDMI cables may degrade and not allow this 'heavy' signal to transmit. This is why we recommend to check HDMI cable firsthand. There's no guarantee that the problem is with HDMI, but it is easiest to check

    • @openaircinema
      @openaircinema  Před 2 lety +1

      There are two most probable reasons: 1) your HDMI loses signal from time to time 2) monitor is losing power and turning on and off. If you have power indicator somewhere on your display - you can exclude the second reason

    • @openaircinema
      @openaircinema  Před 3 lety

      It is quite possible Joshua! And the reason is that some of your TVs might support XBox top resolution and frame rate, which requires wider cable bandwidth = better HDMI cable. It means that 4K 60FPS needs better HDMI cable than 1080p 25FPS. Hope it helps ;)

      Owen, try checking your HDMI cable with other source devices (media player, laptop - anything you have on hand). It will help you figure out if the problem is with the cable. Also check your Xbox with other monitors or TVs. Finally check your current Xbox monitor with other HDMI devices.

      Good question. It shouldn't get hot, unless a power adaptator in your PC transfers electricity to housing case which goes through the cable. Amount of electricity required to transfer video signal is really small and can't get your cable even warm

      From our experience 30 meter HDMI cables don't work because of the signal losses. I wouldn't advise to go beyond 15 meters. If you need to transfer HDMI signal on a long distance - use HDMI extenders or HDBaseT technology.
