HDMI signal loss on new installation
Hello
I’ll explain my problem
I’m part of a club and we’ve just renewed our video system.
We have:
- a brand-new CANAL+ box
- a brand-new video projector (EPSON EH-TW6700 Home Cinema video projector)
- to which we connected a PRO HDMI cable of 30m because the installation is high up (we have about 7/8m overhang)
(CABLING® 30m Professional quality 3D TV HDMI cable - 1080p - v1.4 - Ethernet - Audio Return Channel - shielded)
Everything works great, video, sound, except THAT SOMETIMES the video displays "NO SIGNAL : HDMI NOT SUPPORTED" even though it has been working perfectly for 2 hours. When that signal appears, the sound still works: the bug is only with the video.
Sometimes it happens right away, sometimes after 10 minutes, sometimes after 2 hours...
Question: What could cause all of this to fail? Is a power booster needed for the 30m cable?
Thanks for guiding me on all of this.

Hello
A 30-meter HDMI cable... that’s a lot. In general, we don’t recommend more than 10m
Excerpt from: https://www.conecticplus.com/guide/cable-hdmi/longueur.htmlthe quality of the audio, even that of the video, degrades as the length of the cable increases. Depending on the value of the product you have, the maximum distance an HDMI cable should have is 10m.
For such a distance I think it’s better to use a wireless HDMI transmitter
For example: https://www.amazon.fr/dp/B0776RTBDS
There are also HDMI extenders that are linked together by Ethernet-type cable

There are HDMI amplifiers, yes, but you will need to cut the cable, make the connectors, and probably bring electricity to power the amplifier.
Here is an amplifier that allows you to go beyond 30m, but be careful depending on the type of signal transmitted the distance drops quickly
