HOMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) cable
is for use with devices with an
HOM! output.
An
HOM! cable delivers digital audio and video
in
its
native format. This cable carries both video and audio
information; therefore, separate audio cables are not
required for a complete
HOM! device connection
(~

performance than
a standard (composite) video.
