| Mitsubishi HC1500 and HDMI Cable Length Question I was wondering what the longest HDMI cable run people have tried (and succeeded) when connecting their Mitsubishi HC1500 Projector. My current proposed setup calls for a 46' cable run connecting my Yamaha HTR-6080 receiver to my projector. The run would consist of a 6' cable, then a manual push button splitter, then a 30' cable, then a coupler, and a 10' cable. Can I realistically expect this to work or should I be seriously reconsidering things? What's the longest cable you've been able to use with this projector? Thanks, Harry | ||||

| Re: Mitsubishi HC1500 and HDMI Cable Length Question Longest that I have done with no issues is 30 ft with no connections in between. You are pushing the limit. Note that we have now begun moving vendors to the new pull down option at the top of the forum pages. You will find it between "Shack Shopping" and "Glossary". This will represent a great improvement in the vendor reference database, making it easier than ever to find what you are looking for. Contact me with any suggested entries, category recommendations, or additional information about the vendors that we have. If you are a vendor and want your company listed, there is an option to provide us with the information. | ||||

| Re: Mitsubishi HC1500 and HDMI Cable Length Question Rule of thumb on HDMI runs has always been 30-25 ft tops. I bet someone has tried it and used a signal booster. I'd google HDMI booster and see if anything pops up. Definetly not recommended for that lenght. Just curious. How much throw was you planning on out to your screen? | ||||

| Re: Mitsubishi HC1500 and HDMI Cable Length Question IIRC, the original spec for HDMI was up to 15m. You can go longer with adapters that get a little pricey. You can even run it over cat5 with adapters, but it can get touchy. Generally, you want to minimize runs and directly connect components, without using any adapters or switches. Note that we have now begun moving vendors to the new pull down option at the top of the forum pages. You will find it between "Shack Shopping" and "Glossary".

| Re: Mitsubishi HC1500 and HDMI Cable Length Question Just a quick update. I have successfully ran the following: Yamaha Receiver -> 6 foot 22AWG HDMI Cable -> switch box (manual) -> 30 foot 22AWG HDMI cable -> coupler -> 10 foot 22AWG HDMI Cable -> Projector All the cables are from Monoprice and except for the 6 foot one they are the flat type. Awesome cables and I have no issues with video even with such a long run. Thanks, Harry | ||||

| Re: Mitsubishi HC1500 and HDMI Cable Length Question That's good to know! It is a really long run. How much did that cost?
