Tributaries Active Optical (AOC)

Glass fibre transports the 4 TMDS video/audio/clock and control signals while copper carries the 2-way communication of the EDID and HDCP data. Fibre Optic cable is immune to Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) and is capable of sending signals instantly without perceptible signal loss at longer distances than copper; the TMDS information arrives instantly without losing detail.

The EDID data is transmitted in pulses, which degrade when passing through long lengths of copper cable effectively slowing the Rise Time for each pulse to a point where the signal fails. Understanding this, Tributaries developed Rise Time Restorative (RTR) Technology, a proprietary electronic circuit designed to preserve the integrity of the DDC Signal. Embedded in the display end connector, RTR Technology provides zero latency in transmitting the crucial DDC signal.

The display end is terminated with a Micro Type D HDMI connector and a Type D to A Adaptor that can be removed for easy installation thru conduit. A handy pulling tool is included in the box. VEGA requires external power only at the display end. A USB power cable and AC power supply are also included.

UHD HDMI Cable Design

Tributaries offers the most advanced line of UHD HDMI cables available today. These cables have been custom designed to provide optimal operational 18Gbps performance. Every conductor in each cable length was electronically analysed for its data rate capability with the result balanced against its gauge and flexibility. To guarantee optimal performance, VEGA, TITAN, X-TEND, PRO and SLIM models have undergone rigorous testing by DPL Labs and have earned the coveted 18Gbps Seal of Approval. DPL labs test every conductor to ensure 4K compatibility with bandwidth certified to 18Gbps enabling HDR. All UHD cables are 18Gbps certified by ISF for Interoperability.

DPL Labs Seal of Approval

Tributaries VEGA, TITAN, X-TEND, PRO and SLIM models have received DPL Labs 4K Cable Certification. The certification has 2 levels: 10.2Gbps and the coveted 18Gbps level. Tributaries is proud to be one of the first cable companies to receive this prestigious 18Gbps certification.

Testing HDMI Cables

At Tributaries, testing cables is taken very seriously. We are the only cable company in the industry that tests every HDMI cable after it arrives from the factory using the Murideo Fresco Six-G HDMI and HDCP 2.2 generator. This portable hand held UHD generator will produce an 18Gbps signal of 2160p/60Hz with 8-bit colour and 4:4:4 colour sampling. In addition, the Fresco Six-G also tests the recessed pin #19: Hot Plug Detect. We confirm HDCP 2.2 compliance of every cable. Tributaries: Totally Tested, Tried and Trusted!

Focus on DDC

When a source and sink are connected the Display Data Channel (DDC) line communicates the EDID information and a HDCP handshake takes place. This handshake is required at start-up and is repeated continuously; if there is an error, the system will stop operation. All Tributaries UHD HDMI cables are designed with low capacitance on the DDC line to ensure error-free performance.
