A digital interconnection arrangement among HDTV devices that carries video, audio data (in uncompressed digital form) and control signals. HDMI used a single interconnecting cable of maximum length of 50 ft. approx. The cable terminates in a special 19 pin miniature connector designed for this purpose. The audio/video data transmitted across the HDMI interface is protected by the HDCP protocol for reasons of security. HDMI allows bi-directional transmission, enabling interactivity and flexible control arrangements.
Is a single cable that is used to carry digital audio and video data. The HDMI connector can have problems due to cable stress on the connector.
Similar to DVI (but using much smaller connectors), the multi-pin HDMI interface transfers uncompressed digital video with HDCP copy protection and multichannel audio. Using an adapter, HDMI is backward-compatible with most current DVI connections.
HDMI assures that the best video signal is always sent from source (e.g., HDTV signal) to the display (e.g., plasma television). It does this by allowing uncompressed video and multi-channel audio data to be input to the display device through one single cable. The need for multiple analog connections for high-resolution audio and video are eliminated. Without a HDMI connection one would need 3 video connections for high definition video and 6 audio connections for high-resolution audio.
Hi-Def Multimedia Interface
An HDMI connection transmits both digital video and digital audio to the display.
A high-speed serial interface, capable of transmitting standard, enhanced, or high-definition video. The standard supports tranmissions of up to 2.2 gigabits per second and resolutions up to 1920x1080p at 30Hz. All data is sent uncompressed, to minimize additional artifacts from recompression. Audio signals may also be included, and up to eight channels of 192KHz audio is supported. The connector is more compact as well, resembling a USB connector to some degree. The basis for HDMI is High Bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) and the core technology of DVI. HDCP is an Intel specification used to protect digital content transmitted and received by DVI-compliant displays. HDMI is backward compatible with DVI, as the DVI device will simply ignore the extra data. (HDMI Website) (HDMI Tutorial)
HDMI is the current state-of-the-art in delivering the highest quality video and audio through a single cable. HDMI can send high definition video (HDTV) as well as surround sound. Most recent HDTV television and mid- to upper-end home theater receivers and DVD players offer HDMI connections. HDMI is also compatible with most DVI connections for video so if you have, say a DVD player with DVI output and a plasma TV with HDMI input, you can use an HDMI-to-DVI cable to connect them, although you will need a separate connection for the audio, such as optical digital or coaxial digital.
High definition multimedia interface. An uncompressed digital interface.
High-Definition Multimedia Interface – a single cable that provides an interface between any audio/video source and an audio and/or video monitor while supporting standard, enhanced, or high-definition video, plus multi-channel digital audio. It transmits all ATSC HDTV standards and supports 8-channel digital audio with bandwidth to spare to accommodate future enhancements and requirements.
High Definition Multimedia Input – also known as the ‘digital Scart’, it carries video and audio signals in digital form
HDMI is fully backward compatible with PCs,displays and consumer electronics devices incorporating the Digital Visual Interface (DVI) standard. Both HDMI and DVI were pioneered by Silicon Image and are based on TMDS®, Silicon Image's powerful, high-speed, serial link technology. HDMI supports standard, enhanced, or high-definition video, plus multi-channel digital audio on a single cable. It transmits all ATSC HDTV standards and supports 8-channel digital audio, and with 5 Gbps of bandwidth, HDMI can accommodate future enhancements and requirements. Because HDMI was designed specifically for consumer electronics applications, it offers an array of additional consumer enhancements.
HDMI stands for High-Definition Multimedia Interface and offers an easy and convenient way of interconnecting digital audio-video components. With HDMI, digital signals are not compressed - transmission is direct. And because the signal stays in the digital domain, it is free from the degradation and noise that occurs with analogue signal transmission. HDMI is especially suitable for displays which use all-digital image processing (such as plasma screens, LCDs, etc), DVD-Audio, DVD-Video and other high-quality digital formats.
HDTV connection format using a DVI interface that transfers uncompressed digital video with HDCP copy protection and multichannel audio.
"High Definition Multimedia Interface". New standard for the digital transmittance of high resolution Audio - and Video signals. The HDMI standard supports the coding of data to be transmitted whereby the unauthorized copying shall be prevented. If the projector or plasma display has no electronic to decode the data, the image either remains black or is reproduced with reduced resolution only.
(High-Definition Multimedia Interface) - A much smaller connector than DVI, capable of carrying multichannel audio in addition to video signal.
High Definition Multimedia Interface is a new connector that combines DVI signals, and digital audio into one small connector, allowing for simple and easy connections between a source device and a display. HDMI is somewhat backward compatible with DVI, by using a convertor plug. HDMI often also includes HDCP copy protection.
High Definition Multimedia Interface. HDMI is a new standard digital connection between A/V devices, such as a set-top box, DVD player or A/V receiver, and a digital television. HDMI offers exceptional video and audio quality with a single quick-disconnect connector. HDMI supports multi-channel digital audio transmissions and component video color spacing for true rendering of high-definition video. It supports the HDCP protection standard, allowing transmission of copy-protected digital content to your display.
High Definition Multimedia Interface. A specification that combines video and audio into a single digital interface for use with digital components, and is the core technology of Digital Visual Interface (DVI). HDMI benefits include uncompressed digital video, a bandwidth of up to 5 gigabytes per second, one connector instead of several cables and connectors, and communication between the video source and the DTV.
HDMI is a standard for video interfacing, with a bandwidth of up to 5 gigabytes, which means it can easily support all HDTV standards.
High Definition MultiMedia Interface is the next generation of DVI (Digital Visual Interface). It includes the DVI digital video signal, and multi-channel digital audio signals on a single cable.
High Definition Multimedia Interface. Allows full quality digital audio and video to be shared between equipment.
(High-Definition Multimedia Interface) allows for a high-definition audio and video digital signal to be passed from one piece of equipment to another.
( High Definition Multimedia Interface) carries both the digital video signal (like DVI) but with the addition of digital audio and signal controls. Specified standard by the HDMI Licensing. See our full line of HDMI Cables.
High-Definition Multimedia Interface. A new all-digital interface for digital TVs that carries video, audio, data, and control signals.
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is 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, DVD player, and A/V receiver and an audio and/or video monitor, such as a digital television (DTV).
