The mCable Gaming Edition is a special kind of HDMI cable.
According to the makers at Marseille Inc., it was built specifically to
help rid console games (at least those rendered at 1080P or below) of
the highly annoying jaggies.
Marseille Inc. purports that there’s not enough processing power in
consoles like Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, but also the original Xbox One
and PlayStation 4, to successfully mitigate aliasing. Thus, an external
solution is needed.
How can an HDMI cable achieve that, though? Well, the mCable Gaming
Edition features an embedded “intelligent graphics pixel processor”
(VTV-122x) that managed to get the ‘4K Image Certified’ from
Technicolor. You can find its technical specifications below.
VTV-122x Family Key Features
4K VIDEO PROCESSOR
- Up-conversion of 2D/3D content up to 4K 30Hz and 1080p 120Hz
- Contextual processing
- Adaptive edge enhancement of lines and curves for improved video and user interfaces
- Adaptive sharpening and noise reduction to refine video content
- Sub-1ms latency processing keeps video game players in the action
- Brightness, contrast, saturation, color mapping
HDMI INPUT AND OUTPUT
- Integrated HDMI receiver and transmitter with 4K and 3D support
- Resolution: 480i up to 2160p
- RGB,YCbCr 4:4:4 and YCbCr 4:2:2, 8/10/12-bit
- 2160p 60Hz YCbCr 4:2:0 pass-through support
- 120Hz / HFR (High Frame Rate) support
- HDMI 2.0 Interoperability Safeguard
- Enhanced Device Interoperability
According to Marseille Inc., their contextual anti-aliasing (CXAA)
can remove aliasing without introducing noticeable blur. Here’s a
description of how it does that.
mCable’s patent pending “Contextual Processing” engine
automatically recognizes various elements of the rendered image such as
edges, texture and other proprietary details context. It analyzes every
single pixel to repair it in the most suitable way for that pixel.
By emulating critical human eye perception, it re-creates every pixel
for a more realistic rendering. With this unique capability, mCable
achieves advanced anti-aliasing filtering which fixes jagged edges and
removes shimmering effects from the texture without noticeable blur.
Using mCable Gaming Edition as an additional graphics processor, it
can remove up to 75% of graphics artifacts while at the same time
retaining all the valuable details game designers want you to enjoy.
mCable Gaming Edition also supports 24p film mode. It automatically
detects film content, enhances and up-scales to Ultra-HD and 4K Cinema
format that are certified by Technicolor, a technology leader in
Hollywood for more than 100 years.
Of course, as they say, the proof is in the pudding. You can find two official image comparisons below.
Early reviews, including one from Linus Tech Tips embedded below,
confirm that the mCable Gaming Edition actually works. The downside?
Well, it’s expensive.
You’re going to need $119, $129 or $139 to buy it depending on the
length needed (3 feet, 6 feet and 9 feet, respectively). However, you
can use it pretty much with any HDMI device you have, from consoles to
Blu-ray players, set-top boxes and PCs.
