How does It Work? An HDMI cable utilizes
the Transition Minimized Differential
Signaling (TMDS) technology for transmitting
data between two digital devices. It also
takes care of the fact that the data doesnt get
compromised when it gets transferred from
one device to another. Due to HDMI cables,
there is no need to convert data for making it
compatible. And as no conversion takes
place, images and videos look exactly like they
should without the quality getting
affected. What Is It Compatible With? Since
HDMI is an updated version of DVI (Digital Visual
Interface), it is compatible with DVI for
video only. HDMI and DVI use similar
digital signals. So there is no need to
convert anything while connecting the two
devices. Also there is no compromise with data
quality when you use an adaptor. HDMI
being the most dynamic technology, it will
never have major issues related to
compatibility. Does HDMI Have Competitors? Displ
ayport is one of the primary competitors of HDMI
technology. It is a digital display
interface which was developed by Video
Electronics Standard Association (VESA). It
is not compatible with HDMI in anyway
and also doesnt work with any
equipment supported by HDMI technology. So
DisplayPort cables wont work with HDMI equipment.

Can HDMI Cables Cope With 4K? When you buy an
HDMI cable, make sure that it is High Speed rated
and has 3D and 4K internet sharing
capacity. Long cables might have issues
maintaining functionality under certain
circumstances. This is because long cables
have high electrical resistance and it
lowers the available bandwidth. In case
youre using long cables, you would need
high quality cables for the bandwidth to
be maintained. HDMI has become the most
accepted and universal standard of connecting
HD devices. It has been embraced by people
because of its potential to change
with evolving technologies,
user-friendliness. It also offers High
Bandwidth Digital Content Protection.
