Display requirements for Cisco C20

[Manticore]

Hello,

I have a Cisco C20 that I am going to setup.  I am getting ready to purchase the displays and looking for the requirements.

HDMI is all I need right?  I just do not want to make some kind of rookie mistake.

Any special HDMI cables?

Thank you for your time.

Do you mean SX20?  C20 has been end of sale for a few years by now.  It's been awhile since we've purchased a new codec, but it does come with some HDMI cables, don't recall the length though.

[Manticore]

Yes, it is a new old stock C20.   We have two in stock because of a reduction in force.

Hi Manticore,

C20 video output is HDMI. No special HDMI cable is needed. Just a good quality category 2 cable is required.

See the following Admin Guide; page 132

Hi Patrick,

The maximum length is 50ft/15meters.

Refer the knowledgebase document below; page 11

Thanks Yusuke, I was thinking 10-15, but wasn't sure at the time and didn't want to give a wrong number because I wasn't able to look it up.

Gotcha, for some reason I read it as you were purchasing the codecs too.  Nothing special is needed in regards to the HDMI cables.  You'll also need a VGA to DVI cable with audio if you'd like to share content from a PC or laptop.

Thank you Patrick and Yusuke for the quick and informative responses!  This information has been VERY helpful.

I tried to best answer you both but I am not sure if it took.
