Visionware has released its powered HDMI cord known as Hi-Wirez HDMI cable. This cable claims to minimize signal, and boasts the following :-
It has a proprietary silicone core technology enhancing fidelity between source and display. Each connector has a patent pending embedded data chip that ensures lossless video and audio data transfer (video from 480i to1080p and higher) limiting distortion and pixilation. An ultra-slim industrial design for applications that need to fit connectors very close together and a CE rating for in-wall installations and applications. Most importantly, the cable is powered (from either end), allowing for a much thinner and lightweight design that can run over much longer distances than other analog HDMI cables.
Sounds good in theory, but as most people will tell you, $369 for 5m of cable doesn’t make much sense at all. Unless you’re an oil tycoon, that is. I’ll pass on this.
