About HDMI
HDMI (High Defi nition Multimedia Interface) supports both video
and audio on a single digital connection for use with DVD players,
DTV, set-top boxes, and other AV devices. HDMI was developed
to provide the technologies of High Bandwidth Digital Content
Protection (HDCP) as well as Digital Visual Interface (DVI) in one
specifi cation. HDCP is used to protect digital content transmitted
and received by DVI-compliant or HDMI-compliant displays.
HDMI has the capability to support standard, enhanced, or high-
defi nition video plus standard to multi-channel surround-sound
audio. HDMI features included uncompressed digital video, a
bandwidth of up to 2.2 gigabytes per second (with HDTV) signals,
one connector (instead of several cables and connectors), and
communication between the AV source and AV devices such
as DTVs.
