KRAMER: SIMPLE CREATIVE TECHNOLOGY
Overview
4
•
Supports standard, enhanced, high-definition video, and multi-channel
digital audio
1
on a single cable
•
Transmits all ATSC HDTV standards and supports 8-channel digital
audio, with bandwidth to spare to accommodate future enhancements
and requirements
•
Benefits consumers by providing superior, uncompressed digital video
quality via a single cable
2
, and user-friendly connector
•
Is backward-compatible with DVI (Digital Visual Interface)
•
Supports two-way CEC 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
•
Has the capacity to support existing high-definition video formats
(720p, 1080i and 1080p, 2K and 4K), as well as standard definition
formats such as NTSC or PAL
3.2 Defining the EDID
The Extended Display Identification Data (EDID
3
) is a data-structure,
provided by a display, to describe its capabilities to an HDMI source. The
EDID enables the
VM-24HC
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-24HC
away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust
1 HDMI supports multiple audio formats, from standard stereo to multi-channel surround-sound. HDMI has the capacity to
support Dolby 5.1 audio and high-resolution audio formats
2 HDMI provides the quality and functionality of a digital interface while also supporting uncompressed video formats in a
simple, cost-effective manner
3 Defined by a standard published by the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA)
