Not all HDMI cables are created equally. Bullet Train's 5K Premium Active Optical HDMI Cable with Cleerline SSF Fiber Optic Strands was built for mission-critical environments where stability is vital. By delivering data over Cleerline SSF fiber optics alongside copper wire, the 49.2' cable delivers 18 Gb/s and a high frame rate signal with much lower latency—up to 20% less than a passive copper HDMI cable. This 49.2' cable is ISF (Imaging Science Foundation) Certified, the name to trust in picture quality and calibration. Bullet Train cables are highly engineered, tried and tested to be a long-lasting part of any audio/video system.

Reduce Input Lag By 20%    HDMI 2.0 Refresh Rate Range    40 Gb/s of Bandwidth Per Lane    Cables Not Susceptible to EMI

For gamers or mission-critical environments, these can reduce input lag by 20%.

Heavy electromagnetic places (like a rack room) can interfere with HDMI or HDBaseT. These cables are not susceptible to EMI. Meaning you are circumventing yet another potential problem.

With HDMI 2.0 specifications, the cable can reach data rates up to 60 fps.

This HDMI cable supports the HDMI 2.0 refresh rate range, which becomes extremely important as content pushes the limit of frames per second. Bullet Train allows the display to match the speed at which frames are traveling through the HDMI cable. This ensures the timing at these extremely minuscule measurements are displayed accurately and efficiently.

Unlike other AOC cables that use a lot of energy for their fiber transmission, resulting in the need for additional power adapters. These cables use less energy to power the fiber technology. No more supplemental power is required.

Using fiber is the most effective way to make thin cables.

Each TMDS line has a dedicated piece of fiber, meaning you have four strands of fiber at 40 Gb/s per lane. It's possible to repurpose these fiber strands for future applications.

Unlike the other brittle fiber cables on the market, all Bullet Train AOC cables have Cleerline fiber optics inside. This provides ultimate strength, bend radius, pull tension, and general durability. With Cleerline SSF's proprietary polymer coated fiber cores, these cables will last multiple lifetimes without breakage.

Q: 8. I have a black magic Production Studio 4k, and I need to get the output from that into my JVC DVD recorders, but i haven't been able to make it work yet- it seems like the digital out is not accepted by the recorders. Would this work to input to the recorders?

A: We use this and its counter part (SDI to HDMI) to send computer images to LCD screens. They work perfectly. As far as to recorders, I would assume it would work fine, however, I don't understand why you would need this piece when the Production Studio should export the same thing. Sounds like something weird with the JVC recorders or the output on the Production Studio is not set correctly. Try exporting on a lower output and not in HD and see if that helps. I'm not an export but I do know DVD are not HD so you may be running into a problem if you are exporting in HD or 4K. Something worth looking at.

Q: 9. We have a BMD VideoHub that we use to route feeds to a video wall. The video wall performs best and prefers 720p. We occasionally have speakers who want to connect to the videowall using a laptop. Can the Teranex Mini HDMI to Optical 12G down convert laptop feeds into 720 reliably? I see I can force 1080 or 4K, but can I force downconversion out of the unit so the the SDI or Fiber port out are sending 720?

A: No, the Teranex Mini does not down convert video signals.

Q: 10. Does this pass through embedded audio? Does this pass through Closed Captioning data?

A: The Blackmagic Design Teranex Mini Quad SDI to SDI 12G Converter will pass through the closed captioning data.
