ICRO

HDMI  (High-Definition  Multimedia  Interface)  is  a  high-quality,  digital
audio/video  interface.  HDMI  allows  you  to  connect  any  compatible
digital audio/video source, such as your computer, a set-top box, DVD
player, and audio/video receiver to any compatible digital audio and/or
video monitor, such as a digital television (DTV) with a single cable.
The single cable keeps everything neat and tidy while ensuring easy
connection and the best audio and visual quality.
HDMI  Micro  delivers  the  same  high-quality  playback  as  standard
HDMI,  with  a  slimmer  connector,  ideal  for  use  in  slim-and-light
notebooks and tablet computers.
