Tributaries UHDV VEGA is an Active Optical (AOC) Hybrid HDMI cable. This is the ultimate solution for running long distances behind walls. VEGA is a marvel of electro-optical engineering combining the best of both worlds, glass and copper. Glass fiber transports the 4 TMDS video/audio/clock and control signals while copper carries the 2-way communication of the EDID and HDCP data. Fiber Optic cable is immune to Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) and is capable of sending signals instantly without perceptible signal loss at longer distances than copper; the TMDS information arrives instantly without losing detail. The EDID data is transmitted in pulses, which degrade when passing through long lengths of copper cable effectively slowing the Rise Time for each pulse to a point where the signal fails. Understanding this, Tributaries developed Rise Time Restorative (RTR) Technology, a proprietary electronic circuit designed to preserve the integrity of the DDC Signal. Embedded in the display end connector, RTR Technology provides zero latency in transmitting the crucial DDC signal. VEGA has the patented Power-grip connectors. The display end is terminated with a Micro Type D HDMI connector and a Type D to A Adapter that can be removed for easy installation thru conduit. A handy pulling tool is included in the box. VEGA requires external power only at the display end. A USB power cable and AC power supply are also included.
DPL Labs Seal of Approval
Tributaries UHDV models have received DPL Labs 4K Cable Certification. The certification has 2 levels: 10.2Gbps and the coveted 18Gbps level. Tributaries is one of the first cable companies to receive this prestigious 18Gbps certification.
UHD HDMI Cable Design
Tributaries offers the most advanced line of UHD HDMI cables available today. These cables have been custom designed to provide optimal operational 18Gbps performance. Every conductor in each cable length was electronically analyzed for its data rate capability with the result balanced against its gauge and flexibility. To guarantee optimal performance, VEGA, TITAN, X-TEND, PRO and SLIM models have undergone rigorous testing by DPL Labs and have earned the coveted 18Gbps Seal of Approval. DPL labs test every conductor to ensure 4K compatibility with bandwidth certified to 18Gbps enabling HDR. All UHD cables are 18Gbps certified by ISF for Interoperability.
Focus on DDC
When a source and sink are connected the Display Data Channel (DDC) line communicates the EDID information and a HDCP handshake takes place. This handshake is required at start-up and is repeated continuously; if there is an error, the system will stop operation. The EDID data is transmitted via signal pulses. Due to the effect of capacitance, these pulses will degrade when they pass through a cable. The longer the cable, the greater the degradation. A cable with excessive capacitance will slow down the voltage Rise Time for each pulse, effectively degrading the data to the point of error and signal failure. All Tributaries UHD HDMI cables are designed with low capacitance on the DDC line to ensure error-free performance.
Power Grip:
The UHDV HDMI cable has the patented Power-GripTM connector. Multi-locational raised elements provide proper tension top-to-bottom and side-to-side. Tributaries guarantee their connector will not shift in the electronics causing signal drop outs.
