HDMI cables features one of the multitude of acronyms that abound in society nowadays, particularly in the ever changing electronics industry. It actually stands for High Definition Multimedia Interface cables, not that anyone except the manufacturers call them by their full name. Aren't acronyms so useful?
They offer an audio and video interface to capture and translate uncompressed digital data which is being received.
It is a more modern way than analog processing and more or less replaces out of date methods such as coaxial cables, Scart (Syndicat des Constructeurs d'Appareils Radiorecepteurs et Televiseurs) sockets, VGA (video graphics array), RF coaxial cables (radio frequency), composite video and the like.
It is mainly useful for connecting together various audio and digital devices. This includes game consoles such as Playstation 3 (PS3) and XBox 360 as well as Blu-ray disc players, personal computers and set top boxes. These items are usually fed into a television screen, computer monitor or some other form of AV (audio video) receiver.
HDMI is a relatively new product in the market having only been introduced in 2003. It did not take very long though to become the method used with the majority of gadgets.
Nowadays, when you buy a digital television you will find that is normally set up for high definition (HD) and obviously a special HDMI cable is the right thing to use. Apart from TV sets it can also be found with digital cameras and camcorders.
Standard speed HDMI and high speed HDMI are both compatible with DVI (digital video interface) and you will often see DVI to HDMI cable cables advertised separately. At the time I am writing this, HDMI will support up to 8 channels of digital audio on a single cable connected to a PC video or television which has any format.
An HDMI cable encodes the data for the video into TMDS (Transition Minimized Differential Signalling) in the transmission process. You will find that the devices have different versions with names with numbers such as 1.0, 1.3a and so forth.
Each of those versions will increase the transmission capabilities and the bandwidth of the HDMI cable. The best HDMI cables around seem to have gold plated connectors and are made by household names such as Monster and Belkin. You can get them in black or white to fit in with the decor of your room.
We hope that this has informed you a little about HDMI cables and the various acronyms associated with them but, if you would like more detailed information, there are plenty of reviews available online.
With the way that the economy is today I have had to become the money advice expert for our family and would like to share some ideas that I have found.
