High-Definition Multimedia Interface cables, or HDMI cables



for short, are used for

high-definition audio and video components, and are superior to the traditional

RCA cables and S-video. HDMI cables transmit uncompressed digital audio and

video streams in hi-def format, which is utilized by today's digital

televisions, hi-def DVD players, personal computers, Blu-Ray disc players, video

game consoles and more. They transmit much better quality to the old coaxial

cables, RCA cables, S-Video and VGA.

HDMI is a single cable, that looks much like a USB cable,

and supports all video formats including standard, enhanced, high-definition and

MPEGs. The cables transmit up to eight channels of compressed or uncompressed

audio, making it perfect for today's home theaters and Dolby surround sound.

 

The primary companies utilizing and producing HDMI cables

are Phillips, Silicon Image, Sony, Thomson (RCA), Toshiba, Hitachi and

Matsushita which includes Panasonic, National and Quasar. However, nearly all

manufacturers are expected to utilize HDMI cables in the near future.

Superior to Traditional RCA Cables



are superior to the old red, white and yellow RCA cables, as they not only

transmit in better quality, but you are plugging in only one cable

instead of three. Therefore the possibility of interference is greatly reduced,

and they are much easier to install.

 A single HDMI cable can transmit more than three RCA

, and they are continually

being improved. Each new version of the HDMI cables have more bandwidth and

capabilities, but without increasing the width of the cable.As of November

2008, HDMI cables can transmit up to 340MHz.

Advantages of HDMI Cables



are single cables capable of transmitting high-definition audio and video. Some

may think you are putting "all your eggs in one basket." Nothing could be

further from the truth. Having hi-def audio and video pushed through these

revolutionary cables allows for faster transmission, easy installation, and

simple trouble-shooting. With less parts, there is less time spent diagnosing

problems.

HDMI cables are quickly becoming the preferred cables on

today's digital entertainment landscape. They quality is unsurpassed and they

are compatible with nearly all TVs and components. Their ability to adapt to new

technologies by increasing bandwidth makes it a wise investment. With HDMI

cables, technology will not pass you by, you'll be a part of the revolution.
