There is no question that the hottest technology in the AV (audio/video) market today is High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI), as it has made it possible to not just combine the PC and AV, but also provide unprecedented advances in digital entertainment. Jointly developed by Panasonic, Sony, Philips, Hitachi, Silicon Image and Thomson and Toshiba, HDMI has been the driving force behind the Blu-Ray movie players, HD-DVD, high definition TVs (HDTV) and other AV products. Defining HDMI HDMI is a cable and plug in device that allows for the delivery of high definition video resolutions and also multiple audio channels. The HDMI itself is a cable that contains 19 wires inside, which allows for the delivery of 5 Gbps of uncompressed digital audio/video, a bandwidth previously unheard of. How it Works The HDMI wires function by emitting digital signals from an AV source, be it an A/V receiver, DVD player, or satellite receiver. It then relays the signal back to another digital device (i. e, a HD camcorder). Despite the high quality of the audio/video, HDMI actually utilizes less than 50% of its bandwidth. All HDMI wires have 192 khz, 24 bit 8 channels, which allows for transmission of uncompressed audio. However, it also has support for compressed ones, like Dolby and DTS. Features Aside from delivering the highest quality AV possible, HDMI also has the capacity to serve up high quality video, from 720p, 1080I and 1080p. Stereo support and multi channel, surround sound are also part of the package. Moreover, it is not limited to definition formats like NTSC, but also allows for formats like PAL and 480p. There is also an auto lip sync function built in, which permits an HD device (compatible with HDMI 1. 3 or higher) to properly align out of sync AV. HDMI are classified into two: Type A and Type B. Type A is the standard 19 pin cable and is suited for TV, computers, and other HD consumer products. Type B has 29 pins and is geared towards cinemas. HDMI Advantages and Benefits The best way to determine the advantage of having an HDMI enabled device is to just look and/or listen to it. Because HDMI is all digital, the data that is delivered is vastly superior to analog devices. Unlike analog cables, there is no compression, so there is no loss of visual or audio detail. Also, unlike other digital interfaces, there is no digital to analog conversion going on, a process that can lead to a deterioration in the data. Versions Because it has more bandwidth than it actually uses, progress and innovation of HDMI is made easier. The earliest release HDMI 1. 0 came out in 2002 and supported 3. 96 Gbps for video and 8 channel LPCM/192 kHz/24-bit for audio. The subsequent releases and updates have added support for One Bit Audio, Deep Color (30bit to 48 bit), Dolby TrueHD and many more. The biggest advantage of HDMI, cost wise is that with a single HDMI cable, it renders obsolete the need for 3 video connections that used to be needed for HD. In the case of HD audio, six connections were previously needed. Based on the surveys, over 140 million HDMI devices were sold in 2007 alone, and it is widely expected that the number will increase even more in the upcoming years as prices drop and technological innovations continue.

What is HDMI cable? It is a digital data transmitter. The data transferred through this interface are uncompressed. For the analogy of consumers it represents as an alternative for digital transmitting. The digital devices for both audio as well as video can be connected through HDMI cables. Not only set top boxes it can also connect personal computers, blue ray discs, video games etc. A single cable of HDMI supports all the video formats of personal computers and televisions. The video out will be high definitional with enhancements and standards for over than 7 audio cannels. It does not depend on the various standards of digital television for ex: DVD and ATSC. The streams of the videos of the digital televisions are compressed MPEG. These cables are also capable to output these video streams in uncompressed formats. The signals of DVI (digital video interface) also pose the capacity to run compatible with these cables. In cases of usage of adapters there will be no low quality video outputs. Because these cable poses special features to resist the conversion of signals on usage of adapters. History of HDMI cables:The HDMI cables were first designed in the month of December of the year 2002. Many outstanding companies in electronic field such as Hitachi, Philips, Sony, Panasonic etc are involved in the production of these cables . However the products involving these cables were out in autumn season of the year 2003. More than 800 companies of electronic consumers went with this option. The HDTV and TV sets in Europe were labelled in the inclusion of these cables. These cables obtained their formulae in the year 2005 by SES Astra and EICTA. It was in the year 2006 these cables were used in the digital still cameras and also hi tech camcorders. The Shipments of these cables are ready to break the record set by DVI interfaces. Functions of HDMI cables:The single of HDMI all types PC and PC video formats. This also includes videos which are highly defined. They are specially manufactured to take part in the process of adhering of different specified versions. Every versions adhered by these cables will be given with a unique number. Though they are involved in a single cable but their bandwidth varies. This is because the bandwidth increases with the increase in signals. The resolution of the pixels will also increase with the increase in MHz. The connection of these cables can also be dual as per the macro hertz. The definitions of requirements for the timings of the video are also one of their main advantages. Some of the specified basic features are:Connectors: The connectors are subdivided into three parts Type A, Type B and Type C. It depends on the pin numbers as well as band widths. Cable lengths: These cables are irrespective of their lengths. Cable of any length will result in standard, high defined video outputs. DDC and TMD: The support of these devices is specially required for HDMI cables. DVI compatibility: The signals of the DVI outputs are easy compatible with these cables.
