USB features Universal Serial Bus, or USB, was introduced in 1996. It dramatically simplified the connection between host computers and peripheral devices like mice, keyboards, external drivers, and printers. Let's take a quick look on the USB evolution referencing to the table below. Table 5. USB evolution Type Data Transfer Rate Category Introduction Year USB 2.0 480 Mbps High Speed 2000 USB 3.0/USB 3.1 Gen 1 5 Gbps Super Speed 2010 USB 3.1 Gen 2 Super Speed 2013 10 Gbps USB 3.0/USB 3.
With today's ever increasing demands placed on data transfers with high-definition video content, terabyte storage devices, high megapixel count digital cameras etc., USB 2.0 may not be fast enough. Furthermore, no USB 2.0 connection could ever come close to the 480Mbps theoretical maximum throughput, making data transfer at around 320Mbps (40MB/s) — the actual real-world maximum. Similarly, USB 3.0/USB 3.1 Gen 1 connections will never achieve 4.8Gbps.
HDMI 1.4 This topic explains the HDMI 1.4 and its features along with the advantages. HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is an industry-supported, uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface. HDMI provides an interface between any compatible digital audio/video source, such as a DVD player, or A/V receiver and a compatible digital audio and/or video monitor, such as a digital TV (DTV). The intended applications for HDMI TVs, and DVD players.
