Hi, I'm looking for a specification to help ID a card that will run HDMI graphics at more than 30 feet without a signal amplifier. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
ms

I'm not sure if you can find a card that will support that, since the problem is probably not with the video card?
Instead, you may want to look for a cable setup that will work over those long distances.

You might consider trying these cables:

or you could try some of the cheaper ones:

We had a cable from L-Com that had a small signal amplifier at the monitor end. They no longer make such a cable. They're new supplier copied the cable without including the signal amplifier.

Putting the signal amplifier at the monitor ends seems to me like it would not work, but I could be wrong.

Here's what I mean by that. By the time the signal get's to the end of the 30' cable, it has degraded by quite a bit. Thus trying to amplify the signal after it has degraded would not seem to work so well in that it can only amplify what is now a bad signal into just a clean bad signal ... aka a bad picture.

It would make more sense to have the amplifier at the source and higher quality cable so that it can pump out a better signal further.

Of course, I'm not familiar with the electronics of cables, so could be totally wrong.

Anyways, you could try out those monoprice cables instead, if you like. If they sell them and other people are rating them as working, then they just might work for you as well.
