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 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.
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 currently used in A/V systems.
● HDMI supports communication between the video source (such as a DVD player) and the DTV, enabling new functionality.
