HDMI - The Standard for Connecting HDTV
All Digital
No compression, no conversion, pure digital direct from the source as it was meant to be seen and heard.
The HDMI High Speed specification offers benefits over the previous version:
3D
The HDMI specification defines common 3D formats and resolutions for HDMI-enabled devices. The specification will standardise the input/output portion of the home 3D system and will specify up to dual-stream 1080p resolution.
4K
The HDMI specification will enable HDMI devices to support high-definition (HD) resolutions four times beyond the resolution of 1080p. Support for 4K will allow the HDMI interface to transmit content at the same resolution as many digital theatres.
Formats supported include:
3840 x 2160 @ 24Hz/25Hz/30Hz/60Hz
4096 x 2160 @ 24Hz
Content Type
Content Type enables, automated picture setting selection with no user intervention. The Content Type feature enables a display to auto-detect the correct viewing mode to match the Content Type it is receiving from a source device, and to switch modes when a new connected source is selected. Content Type supports content profiles for gaming, movie, photograph and text viewing modes.
Audio Formats
HDMI supports multi-channel digital audio on a single cable. It transmits all ATSC HDTV standards and supports 8-channel, 192kHz, uncompressed digital audio and all currently available compressed formats (such as Dolby Digital & DTS), HDMI 1.3 adds additional support for new lossless digital audio formats Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master AudioTM with bandwidth to spare to accommodate future enhancements and requirements.
Amongst others the following formats are supported:
SA-CD
DTS-HD Master AudioTM
DVD-Audio
Dolby TrueHD
Dolby Digital / Plus
MPEG1 Layer I / II
MPEG2
MP3
AAC LC
DST / DSD (as used in SA-CD)
DTS
ATRAC
WMA Pro
MLP (as used in DVD-Audio)
Expanded Support for Colour Spaces
HDMI technology supports colour spaces designed specifically for digital still cameras. By supporting sYCC601, Adobe RGB and AdobeYCC601, HDMI-enabled display devices will be capable of reproducing more accurate life-like colours when connected to a digital still camera.
Please Note:
These cables are unidirectional and can only be used in one direction.
One end has TX and the other has RX. The TX must be in the source and the RX must be in the display or receiver.
Failure to follow the installation guide could result in the cable not working correctly.
