HDMI
(High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is a compact audio/video interface for transmitting uncompressed digital data.
[1] It is a digital alternative to consumer analog standards, such as
radio frequency (RF)
coaxial cable,
composite video,
S-Video,
SCART,
component video,
D-Terminal, or
VGA. HDMI connects digital audio/video sources (such as
set-top boxes, upconvert
DVD players,
HD DVD players,
Blu-ray Disc players,
AVCHD
camcorders,
personal computers (PCs),
video game consoles such as the
PlayStation 3 and
Xbox 360, and
AV receivers) to compatible
digital audio devices,
computer monitors,
video projectors and
digital televisions.
The High Speed HDMI cable is designed and tested to handle video resolutions of 1080p and beyond, including advanced display technologies such as 4K, 3D, and Deep Color. If you are using any of these technologies, or if you are connecting your 1080p display to a 1080p content source, such as a Blu-ray Disc player, this is the recommended cable.
