Introduction
Congratulations on purchase of the MX HDMI Cable.
MX has product range over 3500 products. MX categories are home
theater Cables and Connectors, Computer/Laptop Accessories, Pro
Audio/Studio Cables and Connectors, Audio/Video Components and
Accessories, Fiber Optic Components and Accessories, Cable TV
Components and Accessories.
The MX HDMI Cables is the first and only industry supported,
uncompressed, all digital audio/video interface. Delivering crystal
clear, all digital audio-video via a single cable. MX DMI simplifies
cabling and provides you with a high quality home theatre
experience. HDMI provides an interface between any audio/video
source, such as a set-top box, DVD Player, or A/V Receiver and an
audio and/or video monitor, such as a digital television(DTV), over a
single cable. New Version of the HDMI standard also include support
for Ethernet communication links.
MX HDMI Cables supports standard, enhanced, or high definition
video plus multi-channel, 192 KHz, uncompressed digital audio and
all currently available compressed formats Dolby True HD and DTS-
HD Master Audio with bandwidth to spare to accommodate future
enhancement and requirements. Version 1.4 adds HDMI Ethernet,
an audio return channel, support for 3D video formats, high
definition resolution of 4k x 2k, expanded color spaces, micro
connector support and support for Automotive Connection System.

HDMI Importance
MX HDMI means simpler and higher quality entertainment
experience. It provides the highest possible uncompressed video
and audio quality over a thin and easy to use cable with a simple
passive adaptor or cable to connect between the two interfaces.
Most importantly, it adds support for up to 8 channels of full
resolution digital audio, all on a single cable.
Since its inception, MX HDMI has the ability to transmit basic
control codes from device to device, making the goal of system
integration easier to achieve.
MX HDMI addresses the complexity issue by both reducing the
cable count and easing the process of interconnecting the various
devices that make up the typical home theatre entertainment
system.

FEATURES
1. Quality:
Because MX HDMI is a digital interface, it provides the best
quality video since there are no losses analog to digital
conversions that are required for analogue connections. The
difference is especially noticeable at higher resolutions such
as 1080p or higher. Digital video will be sharper than
component, and eliminates the softness and ghosting found
with composite. Small, high contrast details such as text
brings this difference out the most.
2. Ease of Use:
MX 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. This is
particularly beneficial when equipment is upgraded or added.
3.Intelligence
MX HDMI supports two way communication between the
video source and the DTV, enabling new functionality such as
automatic configuration and one-touch play. By using HDMI,
devices automatically deliver the most effective format for the
display that it is connected- eliminating the need for the
consumer to scroll through all the format options guessing
what will look best.

have access to premium HD content now and in the future.

Construction of MX HDMI Cable
An MX HDMI cable is actually a bundle of wires - 19
counting the drain wires, and all follow a very rigorous
specification in order to deliver the extremely high
bitrates that deliver high definition images and audio
to your electronics.
There are 4 primary paired connections which
represent the TDMS (Transition Minimized
Differential Signaling) channels plus a drain wire. This
can be thought of as the red, green, and blue color
information (note that the colors are presented solely
