KRAMER: SIMPLE CREATIVE TECHNOLOGY
Overview
4
Benefits consumers by providing superior, uncompressed digital video
quality via a single cable
1
, and user-friendly connector
Is backward-compatible with DVI (Digital Visual Interface)
Supports two-way communication between the video source (such as a
DVD player) and the digital television, enabling new functionality such
as automatic configuration and one-button play
HDMI has the capacity to support:
Existing high-definition video formats (720p, 1080i, and 1080p/60), as
well as standard definition formats such as NTSC or PAL
3.2 Defining EDID
The Extended Display Identification Data (EDID
2
) is a data-structure,
provided by a display, to describe its capabilities to a graphics card (that is
connected to the display’s source). The EDID enables the
VM-2HDMI
to
“know” what kind of monitor is connected to the output. The EDID includes
the manufacturer’s name, the product type, the timing data supported by the
display, the display size, luminance data and (for digital displays only) the
pixel mapping data.
3.3 Recommendations for Best Performance
To achieve the best performance:
Connect only good quality connection cables, thus avoiding interference,
deterioration in signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated noise
levels (often associated with low quality cables)
Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances and position
your
VM-2HDMI
away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust
