HDMI 2.0
This topic explains the High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) 2.0 and its features along with the advantages.
HDMI 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. The primary advantage is cable reduction and content protection
provisions. HDMI supports standard, enhanced, or high-definition video, plus multichannel digital audio on a single cable.
HDMI 2.0 features
• HDMI Ethernet Channel - Adds high-speed networking to an HDMI link, enabling users to take full advantage of their IP-enabled
devices without a separate Ethernet cable
• Audio Return Channel - Allows an HDMI-connected TV with a integrated tuner to send audio data "upstream" to a surround audio
system, eliminating the need for a separate audio cable
• 3D - Defines input/output protocols for major 3D video formats, paving the way for true 3D gaming and 3D home theater applications
• Content Type - Real-time signaling of content types between display and source devices, enabling a TV to optimize illustration
settings based on content type
• Additional Color Spaces - Adds support for additional color models that are used in digital photography and computer graphics
• 4K Support - Enables video resolutions far beyond 1080p, supporting next-generation displays that rival the Digital Cinema systems
that are used in many commercial movie theaters
• HDMI Micro Connector - A new, smaller connector for phones and other portable devices, supporting video resolutions up to 1080p
• Automotive Connection System - New cables and connectors for automotive video systems, which are designed to meet the
unique demands of the motoring environment while delivering true HD quality
Advantages of HDMI
• Quality HDMI transfers uncompressed digital audio and video for the highest, crispest image quality.
• Low -cost HDMI provides the quality and functionality of a digital interface while also supporting uncompressed video formats in a
simple, cost-effective manner
• Audio HDMI supports multiple audio formats from standard stereo to multichannel surround sound
• HDMI combines video and multichannel audio into a single cable, eliminating the cost, complexity, and confusion of multiple cables that
are currently used in A/V systems
• HDMI supports communication between the video source (such as a DVD player) and the DTV, enabling new functionality
