HDMI is the High Definition Multimedia Interface. This is the latest home theater system and interface for High Definition TV. 19 cable has one wire in the cable and equivalent to the UBS cable. Is the ability to bring 5Gbps Bandwidth. This provides more than twice the bandwidth required for various audio and video transmission. HDMI is a digital signal that requires compressed signal into an analog signal and then translated back to digital. All this can damage the signal. TV broadcasters are required to turn off analog signals in February 2009 and the digital broadcasting after that date.

HDMI was founded by seven founder companies. These are Sony Corp., Toshiba Corp., Hitachi, Ltd., Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Royal Phillips Electronics, Silicon Image, Inc. and Thompson, Inc. The following is taken from the HDMI web page HDMI is fully backward compatible with PCs, displays and consumer electronics devices incorporating the Digital Visual Interface (DVI) standard. Both HDMI and DVI were pioneered by Silicon Image and are based on TMDS®, Silicon Image s powerful, high-speed, serial link technology. HDMI supports standard, enhanced, or high-definition video, plus multi-channel digital audio on a single cable. It transmits all ATSC HDTV standards and supports 8-channel digital audio, and with 5 Gbps of bandwidth, HDMI can accommodate future enhancements and requirements. Because HDMI was designed specifically for consumer electronics applications, it offers an array of additional consumer enhancements. As digital content can manifest itself in a variety of sizes, resolutions and formats, HDMI-enabled systems will automatically configure to display content in the most effective format. In addition, HDMI enables a single remote point and click, allowing manufacturers to deliver home theater systems that automatically configure from a single command from a remote control -- turning on or off the components necessary to view a DVD, listen to a CD, or watch cable or satellite TV. This format is also supported by Hollywood. One could ask why? The answer lies in the fact that it was designed to prevent copying of copyrighted material. The industry is trying to design anti copying systems in the chips. In my opinion, they have done a very good job with this technology.

The latest version is HDMI 1.3 which announced billions of colors for HDTVs and doubles Bandwidth clear about HDMI. HDMI 1. 3 seems more professional than the home user but we know that home users will use the application with HDMI 1.3 before long. HD movies and advanced platform for computer games will use the latest version immediately. HDMI interface is designed for consumer electronics that reveal more used to a home user. HD-DVD, gaming and HD movie moving forward include 1.3 format. This eliminates the boundaries in almost every color selection. Also includes an automatic audio / video synching capability.
