Optical Fiber eliminates multiple forms of degradation over distance; powered by the HDMI port, no AC adaptor is required. Further, Optical Fibers provide total RF immunity and galvanic isolation for the audio\/video signal – important advantages in the fight against radio-frequency noise. As with Toslink and other optical cables, optical fibers do not pick up or transmit induced RF-Noise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eAdditionally, Root Beer's eARC and communication conductors are Direction-Controlled to minimize RF Noise that hurts the performance of active circuits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eAll AudioQuest High-Speed HDMI cables are capable of Ultra-HD 4K\/60 or 8K\/30 video. Multiple AQ value-added ingredients enable a surprisingly stronger audio\/video experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eAudioQuest's Best-Sounding HDMI Cables Yet\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eWhile 8K and other compelling video\/gaming features make the HDMI headlines, AudioQuest's 48-Series, 18-Series, and eARC-Priority Series HDMI cables are AudioQuest's best-sounding HDMI cables yet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eThe precision and tighter manufacturing tolerances allow all of AudioQuest’s tried-and-true ingredients and techniques to matter every bit as much as before. And, of course, judiciously applied and newly learned techniques and materials are introduced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e4K\/8K Video Compatible\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eAudioQuest 18Gbps High Speed HDMI cables have the bandwidth required for video up to 8K\/30 (8-bit, 4:2:0), which is 7680 x 4320 resolution (over 33 million pixels) at up to 30 frames-per-second (fps). 24 and 30 fps are the frame rates for almost all movies and many TV shows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e18Gbps Bandwidth\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eAll AudioQuest 18Gbps High Speed HDMI cables are guaranteed to have the 18Gbps bandwidth required for compelling features like 8K\/30 video, HDR (High Dynamic Range) imagery, and eARC (enhanced Audio Return Channel).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eLevel 4 Noise-Dissipation (HDMI): Galvanic Isolation + Direction-Controlled\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eTraditional “100% shielding” is not enough to guard against the increasingly prevalent effects of Wi-Fi, cellular, and satellite radiation. In AudioQuest HDMI cables, all 19 conductors are Direction-Controlled to minimize the RF Noise that damages performance by “directing” or draining it away from the most vulnerable circuits. Level 4 Noise-Dissipation features fibers, which are non-conductive and therefore immune to induced RF noise, while the eARC and control conductors are made of direction-controlled metals. Additional Noise-Dissipation techniques (Levels 4+ and up) are applied as budget permits to further reduce noise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eeARC Internally Controlled for Direction\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eHDMI hardware's previous ARC capabilities max out at lossy (compressed) 5.1-channel surround sound. Not only do all generations of AudioQuest HDMI cables \"with Ethernet\" support ARC, but in order to ensure superior audio performance, the ARC-channel conductor-pair is internally controlled for direction, running in the opposite direction from the 4 pairs that carry information to the TV.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eNew HDMI 2.1 hardware supports Enhanced Audio Return Channel (eARC), which increases bandwidth dramatically to support uncompressed and lossless high-resolution multichannel audio, including Dolby TrueHD and Atmos, and DTS-HD Master Audio and DTS: X.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSupport for High Dynamic Range (HDR) and Dynamic HDR\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eAudioQuest 18Gbps High Speed HDMI cables support High Dynamic Range (HDR) and Dynamic HDR. HDR content expands the contrast of the image for blacker blacks and brighter whites\/highlights as well as greater color saturation and brightness. Dynamic HDR (HDR 10+ and Dolby Vision for example) enables frame-by-frame HDR optimization rather than HDR settings that are fixed for the entire program.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AudioQuest","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":45980591653037,"sku":"NEW-AQHDRB18-20","price":799.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/3708\/1773\/files\/AQHDRB18_5_02__35046.1697820122.1280.1280_2b7a8126-d4ec-4f95-bb07-4108349870c0.jpg?v=1778104407","url":"https:\/\/www.audioadvisor.com\/products\/audioquest-root-beer-18-active-optical-hdmi-cable-haoc-20-0-meter","provider":"Audio Advisor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
