The first industry-supported,
uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface. HDMI provides an interface
between any audio/video source, such as a set-top box (HDTV Receiver), DVD
player, and A/V receiver and an audio and/or video monitor, such as a digital
television (DTV).
The new HDMI digital interconnect
provides:- Superior, uncompressed digital video and audio
quality.
- Simple, user-friendly connector that replaces the maze of cabling
behind the entertainment center.
- Integrated remote control.
- A popular
interface enabling the transmission of high-definition content. HDMI opens the
floodgate of digital content from major motion picture producers.
The
advantages of HDMI over existing analog interfaces such as composite, S-Video
and component video are.- Quality HDMI transfers uncompressed digital
audio and video for the highest, crispest image quality.
- All Digital HDMI
ensures an all-digital rendering of video without the losses associated with
analog interfaces and their unnecessary digital-to-analog
conversions.
- Low-cost HDMI provides the quality and functionality of a
digital interface while also supporting uncompressed video formats in a simple,
cost-effective manner.
- Audio HDMI supports multiple audio formats, from
standard stereo to multi-channel surround-sound.
- Ease-of-use HDMI combines
video and multi-channel audio into a single cable, eliminating the cost,
complexity, and confusion of multiple cables currently used in A/V
systems.
- Intelligence HDMI supports communication between the video source
(such as a DVD player) and the DTV, enabling new functionality.
HDMI is
fully backward-compatible with DVI using the CEA-861 profile for DTVs. HDMI
DTVs will display video received from existing DVI-equipped products, and
DVI-equipped TVs will display video from HDMI sources. To see our selection of

HDMI
technology has been designed to use standard copper cable construction at long
lengths. In order to allow cable manufacturers to improve their products
through the use of new technologies, HDMI specifies the required performance of
a cable but does not specify a maximum cable length. Cables are expected to be
lengths of up to 15 meters.
