Aten VC880 VanCryst™ Professional A/V Solutions
INTRODUCTION
The VC880 is an HDMI Repeater with an added audio deembedder that extracts and converts the audio signal from the HDMI input. This means that, as well as the repeated HDMI audio and video signal output, users can choose between analog stereo audio via RCA connectors or digital audio via optical or coaxial connectors as an additional high-quality audio output. With support for 3D TV formats, the VC880 is ideal for users who want to enjoy high-definition video with their choice of high-definition audio output on TVs, projectors, A/V receivers, or speakers.

FAQS
Repeaters should be used with caution, as the signals they re-broadcast are usually of a slightly lower quality than the original wireless transmissions. However, you can minimize the effects of signal degradation from repeaters through efficient network design.
The length of HDMI cables (less than about 10 feet) will not affect the quality of your connection. It is simply a matter of signal loss.
Since HDMI is a fully digital signal, there is no way to signal to be of lesser quality than any other cable. The only thing that happens is signal drop-off when sending high bandwidth signals over a too-long cable or a cable that isn’t rated for the specific HDMI standard.
The length of an HDMI cable does have a negative effect on signal quality, with manufacturers generally not recommending cables over 20 feet.
HDMI repeaters or HDMI boosters as they may also be called, are used to extend the distances over which HDMI data can be reliably transmitted using HDMI leads.
A simple repeater might have two ports – one connecting to each of two cable segments. Many Ethernet repeaters provide more than two ports known as a “multi-port” repeater or Ethernet Hub. There is no functional difference between a hub or a repeater and we will use the two terms interchangeably.
Repeaters remove the unwanted noise in an incoming signal. Unlike an Analog signal, the original digital signal, even if weak or distorted, can be clearly perceived and restored. With analog transmission, signals are restrengthened with amplifiers which unfortunately also amplify noise as well as information.
Like many audio, video, and data cables, HDMI cords can suffer from signal degradation at longer lengths—50 feet is generally considered the maximum reliable length. And it’s rare to see an HDMI cable longer than 25 feet in a store.
When initially placed, a Redstone repeater has a delay of one Redstone tick (equivalent to two game ticks, or 0.1 seconds barring lag). A repeater’s delay can be modified by using the Use Item control.
A Repeater connects two segments of a network cable. Sometimes it regenerates the signals to proper amplitudes and sends them to the other segment. If the signal becomes weak, it can copy the signal bit by bit and regenerate it at the original strength. It is a 2-port device.
The length of an HDMI cable does have a negative effect on signal quality, with manufacturers generally not recommending cables over 20 feet.
