In addition, AudioQuest’s HDMI Active Pearl, Forest and Cinnamon cables employ active frequency-equalization to enable full 18Gbps performance at lengths up to 49.2ft (15 meters). Cherry Cola is a Hybrid Active Optical HDMI model that offers full 18Gbps performance at lengths up to 100 feet (30.48 meters). Video Up to 8K/30 AudioQuest 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. Currently, there is no widely available 8K content, nor are there any widely available 8K source components, so up-conversion in the TV is the likeliest scenario for 8K early adopters. HDR (High Dynamic Range) AudioQuest 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. In addition, 4K Ultra-HD content allows for a wider color range. This combination of technologies results in more realistic HDR images with greater perceived depth. 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. The most prominent current HDR formats are HDR10, HDR10+ and Dolby Vision. AudioQuest 18Gbps High Speed HDMI cables are compatible with all these flavors of HDR, which can be found on Ultra-HD Blu-ray, iTunes, Vudu and more. Audio Return Channel (ARC) and Enhanced Audio Return Channel (eARC) HDMI 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, 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. Upcoming HDMI 2.1 hardware support Enhanced Audio Return Channel (eARC), which increases the digital bandwidth dramatically to support uncompressed and lossless high-resolution multichannel audio, including Dolby TrueHD and Atmos, and DTS-HD Master Audio and DTS: X. All AudioQuest HDMI cables “with Ethernet” have the conductors and bandwidth required for eARC’s enhanced sonic capabilities. - [EQ2 Series] (https://www.nzhifi.nz/category/Panasonic-EQ2): 4K UHD LCD Commercial Display - [REL] (https://www.nzhifi.nz/category/REL.hifi): REL makes powered subwoofer speakers for stereo & home theater systems.

We use e2 fans in pairs which cycle together, one brings in fresh air while heating it from it's last expel cycle and the other expels air, heating its ceramic heat storage block as the air flows through, ready for it's next intake cycle. This pattern repeats continuously. Being decentralized means that there is no ducting system, so of course we don't lose any heat through ducting because there is none! For bathrooms, and other areas that need faster air replacement due to odors or moisture we would use the e2's big brother the eGo or Nexxt. We can use humidity sensors to trigger the fans. - [TVNZ+ app issues resolved?] (https://www.nzhifi.nz/blog/TVNZ-app-resolution): Many of our customers have been experiencing issues with the TVNZ* app, we raised a ticket and finally heard back!
