HDMI is a funny thing. To those of who cut our teeth crimping copper BNC or soldering XLR's trusting in a cable we cannot make ourselves presents a quandary. The first time I looked into an HDMI cable I was left with questions similar to those often asked about hot dogs - 'Just what is in that thing?'.
A number of questions still befuddle installers daily
- How long can I run an HDMI cable -(answer: it depends on the gauge and quality of cable not necessarily a predefined length limit)
- What effect does HDCP have on my connections -( answer: its presence turns off component outputs \ inputs and does have bandwidth considerations, which may effect usable cable length).
- Which devices support deep color ? -(a few, maybe).
In an apparent answer to our questions I have been receiving a plethora of newsletter and articles on just such subjects lately:

Now can anyone tell me just why hot dogs have 10 to a pack but the buns only have 8?
