In our previous Wall Plate article, we discussed Power Plates, which are exactly like the name sounds like; they supply power to devices. In this article we will discuss getting audio and video through a wall to another location, why the wall plate will cut down on wire mess, and how the wall plates can be beneficial to you. Wall plates are an inexpensive, clean way to add that finishing touch to your home theater system. You will need two (in very rare occasions you will need more than this) to make the connection complete. Even if you have a small home theater (just a TV and a receiver), you can utilize one of our many wall plates. We have a wall plate for just about every audio or video solution you could possible need. We even have combination wall plates that can accommodate multiple types of connections. Some of our wall plates include: Composite Audio/Video: This plate allows you to hook your composite (red, white, and yellow) in a clean collected manner to your home theater system.

Oxygen free cable is cable that has the oxygen removed in the manufacturing process. It is done to remove any impurities in the wire and specifically iron. Iron causes the resistance in a wire to be increased but the amount is not enough to be noticeable in speaker wire. Even though the difference in the sound quality is not noticable the price is higher in oxygen free cable. With todays better manufacturing process, oxygen free cable has become even less "desirable" than it was in the past. Firefold carrys both types of speaker wire in the on-line store.

HDMI can be rated a few different ways.
Protocol Specification (What HDMI should be able to do)
Performance Category Rating (How much data can be transferred over time)
The HDMI protocol specification is broken into versions based on what the cable is supposed to be able to do. You will see version numbers such as 1.0, 1.2, 1.3a, or 1.3b relating to this rating system. Currently, 1.3b is the most common standard for devices and cables to conform to. FireFold devices and cables are all in compliance with the 1.3b standard.
The HDMI specification was broken up into 2 speed categories to avoid confusion over which resolutions were supported by different specification version. These categories are appropriately named Category 1 and Category 2.
Category 1 cables are tested at 74.5 MHz and can support resolutions up to 1080i/720p.
Category 2 cables are tested at 340 Mhz and support resolutions up to 1600p. This cable category represents a data speed of 10.2 Gbit/s at 340 Mhz.

What is FireWire?
..TR>
Have a Camcorder or Camera that you want to take video off of? Need a FireWire but it didn't come in the package? Here at FireFold we supply every sort of FireWire cable you might require.
FireWire is Apple Computer's name for the IEEE 1394 High Speed Serial Bus. Sony's implementation of the system is known as i.Link, and uses only the four signal pins, discarding the two pins that provide power to the device in favor of a separate power connector on Sony's i.Link products.
Firewire is commonly used for connection of data storage devices and digital video cameras, but is also popular in industrial systems for machine vision and professional audio systems. It is used instead of the more common USB due to its faster effective speed, higher power-distribution capabilities, and because it does not need a computer host. Compared to USB 2.0 High Speed, it has higher sustained data transfer rates, a feature especially important for audio and video editors. | FireWire 400 ..TABLE>
..TR>
FireWire 400 can transfer data between devices at 100, 200, or 400 Mbit/s data rates (the actual transfer rates are 98.304, 196.608, and 393.216 Mbit/s, ie 12.288, 24.576 and 49.152MBytes per second respectively). These different transfer modes are commonly referred to as S100, S200, and S400. Although USB 2.0 can theoretically operate at 480 Mbits/s, tests indicate that this speed is rarely attained. This is possibly caused by the client-server architecture of USB, as opposed to the peer-to-peer network operation of FireWire, and the support for memory-mapped devices in the latter, which allows high-level protocols to run without forcing numerous interrupts and buffer copy operations on host CPUs.
Cable length is limited to 4.5 metres (about 15 feet), although up to 16 cables can be daisy chained using active repeaters, external hubs, or internal hubs often present in FireWire equipment. The S400 standard limits any configuration's maximum cable length to 72 meters. The 6-pin connector is commonly found on desktop computers and can supply the connected device with power. A 4-pin version is used on many laptops and small FireWire devices and do not have any power connectors, although it is fully compatible with 6-pin interfaces. Some laptops use the 6-pin powered connector, such as Apple's recent offerings. | FireWire 800 ..TABLE>
..TR>
FireWire 800 (Apple's name for the 9-pin "S800 bilingual" version of the IEEE 1394b standard) was introduced commercially by Apple in 2003. This newer 1394 specification and corresponding products allow a transfer rate of 786.432 Mbit/s with backwards compatibility to the slower rates and 6-pin connectors of FireWire 400.
The full IEEE 1394b specification supports optical connections up to 100 metres in length and data rates all the way to 3.2 Gbit/s. Standard category-5 unshielded twisted pair supports 100 metres at S100, and the new p1394c technology goes all the way to S800. The original 1394 and 1394a standards used data/strobe (D/S) encoding (called legacy mode) on the signal wires, while 1394b adds a data encoding scheme called 8B10B (also referred to as beta mode). With this new technology, FireWire, which was already slightly faster, is now substantially faster than Hi-Speed USB.
FireWire 800 is only compatible with devices that support FireWire 800. | Networking over FireWire ..TABLE>
..TR>
FireWire, with the help of software, is well-suited for creating ad-hoc (terminals only, no routers) computer networks. Specifically, RFC 2734 specifies how to run IPv4 over the FireWire interface, and RFC 3146 specifies how to run IPv6.
GNU/Linux, Windows XP and Mac OS X are popular operating systems that include support for networking over FireWire. A network between two computers can be created without a hub, much like the scanner to printer example above. Using one FireWire cable, data can be transferred quickly between the two computers with minimal networking configuration. "Due to unpopularity", Microsoft has removed support for networking over FireWire in Windows Vista. | Detailed Pin Outs ..TABLE>

What is Component? Component video is an analog video signal that is transmitted as three separate signals. Separating the components of a video signal is a way of maintaining signal clarity, because it prevents the signals from interfering with each other. When a signal is separated this way, it is called ’component video.’ S-Video, RGB, and Y,Pb,Pr signals all comprise of two or more separate signals, and therefore, are all ’component video.’ For most consumer-level applications, analog video is used. Digital component video is slowly becoming popular, however. Component video is capable of producing signals such as 480i, 480p, 576i, 576p, 720p, 1080i, and 1080p. RGB Analog Component Video RGB (Red, Green, Blue) analog component video uses no compression, and offers no real limit in color depth or resolution. It requires large bandwidth to carry the signal, because of the redundant data. Each channel contains the same black and white image. Most modern computers offer this signal via the VGA port. All arcade games, except early vector black and white games, use RGB monitors. Y,Pb,Pr Analog Component Video Y,Pb,Pr is a progressive scan component video input/output connection. These do not use RGB components, but rather a colorless component, called luma, combined with one or more color-carrying components, called chroma, that give only color information. This overcomes the problem of data redundancy that plagues RGB signals, since there is only one black and white image carried, instead of three. Both the S-Video component video output and the Y,Pb,Pr component video output seen on DVD players are examples of this method.
Converting video into luma and chroma allows for chroma subsampling, a method used to reduce the storage requirements for images and video. The Y,Pb,Pr scheme is usually what is meant when people talk of component video today. Many consumer DVD players, plasma displays, video projectors, and other devices use this form of color coding. S-Video Analog Component Video S-Video is another type of component video signal, because the luma and chroma signals are transmitted on separate wires. This connection type is not used for HD (high definition) standards, because the carrier frequency of the color signal modulation would have to be adjusted.
