HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) About HDMI Designed to meet the increased demands of digital TV, HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) is a new digital interface standard for connecting TVs, projectors, Blu-ray/DVD player/recorder, set-top boxes, and other video components. Until now, several separate video and audio cables have been required to connect AV components.
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface)—Continued Notes: • The HDMI video stream is compatible with DVI (Digital Visual Interface), so TVs and displays with a DVI input can be connected by using an HDMI-to-DVI adapter cable. (Note that DVI connections only carry video, so you’ll need to make a separate connection for audio.) However, reliable operation with such an adapter is not guaranteed. In addition, video signals from a PC are not supported. • The HDMI audio signal (sampling rate, bit length, etc.
