I'm trying to link my Mitsubishi HC900 projector to my Denon 2910 DVD player via a digital connection. The HC900 has a DVI-D input, and the DVD player has both a DVI-D and HDMI output connector. I will need a 50feet (15meter) cable to connect the projector to the player. My question is, would I better go for a DVI-D to DVI-D cable or for a HDMI to DVI-D cable? I heard that HDMI is designed to run over longer lengths, would this help in this case? Lastly since a 50foot cable isn't exacly cheap ($200+), will I get a good picture at that length or will I most likely get interference?
Any advice is welcome :bow:

Either way should produce good results, the key at that length is a high quality cable. Since the signal is digital, as long as it gets from the DVD player to the projector with no loss of data the picture will be fine.

Thanks for the reply Matt, I decided to for a 50feet DVI - DVI Oehlbach cable. Hopefully this will give me good results ;)
I have a 25 foot run to a projector. I was plainning on doing component, and considering DVI in addtion. but then a salesman at the place where I was going to buy the projector told me to only run component because running dvi would not be needed. I will be running it through my celing and dry-walling it up so i need to decide now and have it last! any suggestions?
