Q: 8. I hope my question isn't too specialized - I will be grateful for an educated guess. I am using a Fuji XT-3 to shoot video. I have used an HDMI cable to run an external monitor (just a cheap desktop monitor) and, separately, to control an audio recorder's start/stop (the Sound Devices MixPre-3 ii). Of course I want to do both at the same time and this device looks like it might enable me to do that. Does this setup have a fair chance of working?

A: This something you'd need to test out to see the results, but we would tend to think a product like this would not pass the needed info to trigger the start/stop recording through HDMI.

Q: 9. is this for 2 seperate cables/sources?

A: The ATEN VB802 HDMI Over Cat 5e/6 Repeater repeats and extends 1 source.

Q: 10. What is the max length of hdmi input cable for this aten ve806t?we tried using 5m hdmi but flickering happens

A: This unit can support up to 40m of cable for 1080p resolutions. If you're seeing flickering, we'd recommend slowly changing the EQ dial on the receiver side and see if a different number works better.ATEN Support
