HDMI
HDMI(High Definition Multimedia Interface) is a new
connection format that supports both video and audio on a
single digital connection.
The HDMI connection carries uncompressed, standard or
high definition digital video signals and multi-channel audio
signals to AV components such as HDMI equipped TVs, in
digital form without degradation.
Since the video signals from HDMI jack are compatible with
the current DVI(Digital Visual Interface) format, HDMI jacks
can be connected to DVI jacks by way of an HDMI-DVI
converter cord.
The HDMI specification supports HDCP(High-bandwidth
Digital Contents Protection), a copy protection technology
that incorporates coding technology for digital video signals.
