The PLV Z2 comes with a DVI-I socket.
I need to install it with a 7m DVI lead. Problem is that no one makes DVI-I cable > 5M.
I can however get DVI-D cable of 7M from US. Physically this cable will fit into the PLV z2 socket. What i need to work out however is whether it will work.
The difference vs DVI-D is that DVI-I has 4 additional analogue pins connected.
The cable length question is itself quite complex (original standard for DVI specified max length cable of 5m) but I'm satisfied that a good quality 7m cable should be ok.
Sanyo are finding it difficult to answer the question... and it is also hard to work out whether potentialDVI sources (eg Denon A11 or Samsung HD935) use the -I pins, so I am running out of places to look. Interestingly, computer graphics cards (eg ATI Radeon 9800) appear to have DVI-I out.
The cable people tell me that they dont do DVI-I cables > 5 m because if individuals want to actually use the analogue input, then there are better solutions that DVI-I for that
