FAQs
What is the maximum length the coiled cable can extend to?
The cable is 0.3 meters (30cm) in its coiled state and can extend up to 0.6 meters (60cm).
Is this cable compatible with 4K 30Hz footage?
Yes, it fully supports 4Kp60, so it is also compatible with lower resolutions and frame rates like 4K 30Hz.
What is the difference between HDMI Type A and Type C?
HDMI Type A is the standard, larger HDMI connector found on most TVs and monitors. HDMI Type C (Mini HDMI) is a smaller version, often found on cameras and portable devices.
Can I use this cable for audio as well as video?
Yes, like all HDMI cables, the Atomos ATOM4K60C3 carries both digital audio and video signals.
Is this cable suitable for connecting a laptop to a monitor?
It depends on the ports your laptop and monitor have. If your laptop has a Mini HDMI (Type C) output and your monitor has a standard HDMI (Type A) input, then yes, it is suitable and supports high-speed data transfer.
Does this cable support HDR content?
Yes, the cable is HDR ready and designed to be compatible with High Dynamic Range workflows.
How durable is the coiled design?
The coiled design is intended for flexibility and to minimize clutter. While generally durable for regular use on a rig, avoid excessive pulling or sharp bends to maintain its integrity over time.
Troubleshooting
No signal or intermittent signal
Ensure both ends of the cable are securely connected. Check that the source device is outputting a compatible resolution and frame rate (e.g., 4Kp60). Try a different HDMI port on your devices if available. Test with another known working HDMI cable to isolate the issue.
Video quality is poor or shows artifacts
Verify that the HDMI connection is stable and not loose. Ensure the connected devices support the desired video standard (HDMI 2.0 for 4Kp60). Clean the HDMI ports on both the cable and devices. Reduce video resolution or frame rate if the cable or devices are struggling to maintain signal integrity.
Cable does not extend or retract smoothly
Gently work the coiled section back and forth to loosen any minor binding. Avoid forcing the cable. Ensure no external objects are obstructing its movement. If persistent, the cable may have internal damage and should be inspected or replaced.
