 HDMI
(High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is the first and only
industry-supported, uncompressed, all-digital audio/video
interface. By delivering crystal-clear, all-digital audio
and video via a single cable, HDMI dramatically simplifies
cabling and helps provide consumers with the highest-quality
home theater 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. 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, 192kHz,
uncompressed digital audio and all currently-available
compressed formats (such as Dolby Digital and DTS), HDMI 1.3
adds additional support for new lossless digital audio
formats Dolby® TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio™ with
bandwidth to spare to accommodate future enhancements and
requirements. |
