Going to use an HDMI splitter in order to capture gameplay from my 360. Monoprice has a cheap and well reviewed HDMI splitter and they "strongly recommend" using 24AWG cables to avoid signal loss, which basically results in handshake issues. I'm curious how necessary this is. I already have a 4' RocketFish Advanced Series 4 cable I planned to use as the input to the splitter and two monoprice 6' 24AWG cable as output but the tech dude on monoprice said I should use 24AWG for all of them. I honestly can't find out what AWG the Rocketfish is so far, so I've been assuming it's 28awg.
So, are they simply trying to get me to buy more stuff from them with this recommendation? Will I be fine with the Rocketfish?
