Hardware recommendations
At tvONE, we design our products to the highest quality standards. To get
the best results from our products, we recommend that you use the best
quality connectors, cables, and adapters. Consider the points below
when you choose accessories and position equipment.
nFor best results at resolutions of 1080p60 or below with HDMI or DVI,
use cables under 15m long, or shorter if you use connection
adapters. If you need to place your products more than 15m apart,
use active optical cables or a signal extender.
For best results at resolutions of 4K60 or higher with HDMI, use
cables under 2-3 m, or shorter if you use connection adapters. If you
need to place your products more than 3 m apart, use active optical
cables or a signal extender.
See our range of active optical cables and signal extenders at
help.tvone.com/r/docs/g/signal-extension.
nFor best results with HDMI, use High Speed, Premium High Speed, or
Ultra High Speed HDMI cables.
nFor best results with DisplayPort, use certified cables under 2 m long.
nIn industrial environments, use shielded Ethernet cables.
Shielded Ethernet cables are often marked F/UTP, FTP, or STP. Use
shielded Cat 6 or above cables with HDBaseT input and output
modules and Streaming media and 4K playback input modules.
nUse good quality USB 3.0 drives.
nFor more hardware recommendations for your product, see the
specification sheet.
