What is HDMI?
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is the first and only industry-supported, uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface cable. Top quality HDMI cables such as Monster HDMI cables deliver crystal-clear, all-digital audio and video via a single cable, HDMI cables dramatically simplifies cabling and helps provide consumers with the highest-quality home theater experience. HDMI cables 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 with bandwidth to spare to accommodate future enhancements and requirements.
Life is Tough for an HDMI Cable
Never before in the history of consumer electronics has the demand on digital data rates been as significant as in recent years. From component video DVD players to the recent advent of new high-definition HD DVD® and Blu-Ray DiscT DVD formats to the new generation of 1080p displays, the race for an even higher definition picture has begun.
