About HDMI

HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) supports both video and audio on a single digital connection for an easy all- digital output to an HDMI or DVI-equipped TV.

Connection to an HDMI TV requires an HDMI cable while connection to a DVI-equipped TV requires an HDMI to DVI adapter.

HDMI has the capability to support standard, enhanced, or high-definition video plus standard to multi-channel surround-sound audio. HDMI features include uncompressed digital video, a bandwidth of up to 5 gigabytes per second, one connector (instead of several cables and connectors): communication between the AV source and AV devices such as Digital Televisions.

HDMI, the HDMI logo and High-Definition Multimedia Interface are trademarks or registered trademarks of HDMI licensing LLC.
