FEATURES
HDMI.
High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) is the first
digital interface to combine uncompressed high-definition
video, multichannel audio, and intelligent format and
command data in a single cable.
The HDMI standard was introduced in December
2002, and HDMI 1.2 was released in August 2005.
HDMI is supported by many leading consumer electronics
manufacturers as well as motion picture studios, and cable
and satellite operators.
The HDMI connector is compact and is somewhat similar
to a USB connector.
Use this serial interface to connect audio/video
equipment, such as DVD players, a set-top box, and A/V
receivers with an audio and/or video monitor, such as a digital
TV over a single cable. HDMI supports standard, enhanced,
and high-definition video. It has a bandwidth of up to 5
Gigabytes so it supports all HDTV standards and has
bandwidth to spare for future applications.
HDMI is backward compatible with DVI equipment
such as PCs, TVs, and other electronic devices using the DVI
standard. The DVI device simply ignores the extra data.
HDMI offers significant benefits over older analog A/V
connections. It provides superior video and audio clarity
because there is no signal loss from digital-to-analog
conversions. HDMI supports resolutions of 1920 x 1080p
and multiple audio formats from standard stereo to
multichannel surround sound. Plus it provides two-way
communication between the video source and the digital
TV, enabling simple, remote, point-and-click configurations.
HDMI is emerging as the connection standard for HDTV
and the consumer electronics market. Because HDMI
transmits all signals over one cable, it’s quite desirable
for home theater electronics and systems. It greatly simplifies
the installation of home entertainment systems by eliminating
the tangle of cables running behind the system. It’s also very
cost-effective because only one cable is needed.

According to a survey by Data Communications magazine, 90%
of network managers surveyed say that getting the technical support
they need is extremely important when choosing a vendor. But even
though network managers pay anywhere from 10 to 20% of their
overall purchase price for a basic service and support contract, the
technical support and service they receive falls far short of their
expectations—and certainly isn’t worth what they paid.
