Technically, a coax connection will sound better because there is less processing to the signal. In certain situations, when experiencing EMI, RFI or long distance cable runs, using an Optical cable would be your best choice.

Generally speaking, when you have the choice between toslink (optical) and digital coax, the digital coax sounds better. Both carry a digital signal, but the optical signal goes through 2 extra conversions (electrical->light and light->electrical). The optical connection has shown to have more jitter problems.

When using mic cable, the SetCom provides the best noise immunity and lowest cable loss. However, the difference between the two cable types are minimal in most circumstances. Only in situations with extremely high electrical noise or where cable runs exceed 500' (160m) might the difference between cable types be noticed.

It's important to understand this difference, as you could be disappointed with the results if you use one rather than the other. Optical zoom works like the zoom on a traditional film camera. When you push the button to zoom in or out, physical lens elements move inside the camera, reducing the field of view and making the object you're shooting appear closer. Digital zoom, on the other hand, has no moving parts.

The optical keystone angle is the angle between the optical axis and the center of the projected image. This varies by some degrees and is dependent of the position of the zoom lens. This angle is actually a fixed angle and can only be "changed" by turning the zoom lens Digital keystoning gives you the possibility to have a correct square image, even when the image is thrown upwards in desktop mode or downwards in ceiling mode.

A coaxial digital audio cable uses copper wiring as its signal conductor and dual-RCA jacks as connectors. An optical digital audio cable uses fiber optic wiring as its conductor and dual Toslink connectors. Both types of cables perform the same function; however, an optical digital audio cable is immune to external interference because its conductor is non-metallic.

Yes. The specifications for composite video, component video and digital coaxial cables are EXACTLY the same! Since our PSC cable maintain a 75-ohm impedance from tip-to-tip, it is the perfect cable for each of these connections. For component video applications you will need three PSC cables (which we offer on our website in special component cable discount packages).

Coax is a standard cable that connects your tv and or cable modem to your wall outlet. Generaly the wiring for tv/broadband is done in coax cabeling called RG-6. The cable has a copper core surounded by a plastic sheathing, this is surounded by a braided outer cover of woven mesh wire and in turn is covered by an outer sheath. First, you need to provision your account (additional $5 per/mo.) for two computers. Contact HarborNet for this. Or you can purchase a small office router.

Optical zoom is achieved by changing the focal distance of the lens, so there is no loss of image quality. Zoom adjustment is step-less, up to 3X. With digital zoom, the center of the image is extracted and shown on the display. You can toggle digital zoom between 2X and 4X. Recording a 800 x 600-pixel image using 2X digital zoom display data from each CCD pixel as-is, so there is no change in image quality or magnification.

It's important to understand this difference, as you could end up mighty disappointed with the results if you get one...

HDTV, or high definition television, is a format for delivering digital television signals. Specifically, HDTV format will deliver the highest quality digital picture possible, but will require people to purchase an expensive HDTV set in order to view these pictures in the correct format. Our Digital Cable system is designed to be compatible with and to be able to pass through HDTV signals to be received on HDTV television sets for people who purchase them.

Digital Cable is a type of television signal. HDTV is the highest quality in digital signals, offering better resolution and sound than a standard digital signal. Digital Cable can be watched on your existing standard television if you have one of our digital set-top boxes. Digital Cable can also be watched in high-definition if you have an HDTV television and you have an HD-compatible digital set-top box.

With Digital Cable you get a crystal clear picture, CD-quality sound and more channels - including 47 music channels and more than 40 digital channels like Discovery Health, Lifetime Real Women and ESPN Classic. Digital Cable also brings you access to Digital Sports packages, Premium movie channels, Foreign Language channels, and on demand services which allow you to start programs whenever you want and pause, fast forward, and rewind with your Digital Remote.

A We find that it is very important ... especially with high performance top-loaded antennas. Your safest bet is to use 18 feet (5.5 meters) coaxial leads on all of your CB installations.

The easiest and quickest way is to use a multimeter (ohmmeter). For each cable assembly, touch each of the 2 multimeter probes to the center conductor at each end of the cable. The multimeter should indicate a "short" or less than 1 ohm resistance. Extremely long cables will show more resistance. Also, touch each of the 2 probes to the sheild conductor at each end of the cable. The multimeter should indicate a "short" again.

The coaxial cable is run to a cable modem, which is connected to your computer via a Network Interface Card (NIC) or Universal Serial Bus (USB) port. CableAmerica is your complete ISP therefore no other services are required. However, if you decide to retain your old e-mail services they can be accessed through our CableAmerica network. Many services, such as AOL, are greatly enhanced by CableAmerica's speed.

No. Using coax to connect the SetCom stations eliminates the advantage of the differential connection. But unlike other intercom systems, the Remote Station sends an amplified signal. Because of the shielding of the coax and the relatively high signal level, induced or electrostatically coupled noise is rarely a problem.

Absolutely. In the PC, go to your Start Menu/Settings/Control Panel/System/ Device Manager/Sound,Video and Game Controllers. Double click on ADATPCR. Click in the box that says "EXT SYNC".

A3: Optical zoom is the traditional method of physically manipulating the distance between 2 lenses to create a different camera view. Digital zooming is a technique in which an electronic processor literally magnifies size of the pixels imaged by an optical lens. There are different techniques, but "grainy" appearance is typically associated with digital zoom, especially when the camera.

When you're looking to find out how much "zoom" a digital camera has, always look at the "optical" zoom not the "digital" zoom. While optical zoom physically adjusts the lens to get closer to the subject, digital zoom "crops" the digital image to enlarge the subject which can degrade the quality.

Cable modem broadband connections use the pay TV network's infrastructure to provide fast Internet connections. Only Telstra and Optus have pay TV networks meaning that choice and competition is limited. You cannot use a cable modem connection as a telephone connection. With a cable modem connection you need a separate phone line to ensure you never miss important phone calls.
