Know Everything About HDMI Technology

• The video and picture viewing expertise has
  improved over time. Since the start, analog
  signals have been the principle technology.
  Through the years, it evolved to both analog
  digital signals together. Now the technology has
  finally paved its way into the zone of digital
  signals.
• Not just the technology but also the cables
  which carry these signals, evolved over the time.
  From the monitor of a computer to a Television
  set or, even a home theatre system they
  all feature different sets of connecting ports.
  These ports allow the usage of different
  types of cables and support different set
  of signals. Driving force behind this change
  is the growth in scientific developments.
• It was the question of survival for many
  companies. They had to provide the users
  something new for staying in the aggressive
  market. The companies finally could take a step
  forward after investing ample amount of hard
  work. So did the buyers. The 21st century is
  arguably the spark plug of the digital age.
  The video viewing technology is the driving
  forces behind this.
• Before this high definition age, there were
  many video connections available for TV, VCR,
  DVD, and HDTV Monitors. They all operated on
  analog signals. The most commonly used monitor
  cable was the Video Graphics Array (VGA)
  cable. Further developments popularized the
  Digital Video Interface (DVI). It operated
  on both analog and digital signals. They
  all had certain limitations and the latest
  High Definition Video Interface overcame them
  all.
• Let us check out this new technology.

HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) HDMI
brought the dawn of this new digital age.
It is a technology, which came into the
market within the first two years of
this millennium. HDMI Cables operate this
technology, which combines digital video
signals and multi channel audio signals
into one convenient cable.
How does this differ from earlier cables? Well
for a start, this can eliminate the maze
of wires that use to assemble around your
earlier setup! It aids in convenient management
of cables as it reduces the complexities and
cost. Quality with More Flexibility With
earlier technology of Digital Video
Interface (DVI), you had to plug-in the
audio cable separately. As it could carry,
only the digital video signals, it created
this limitation. If its length was more than 16
feet, it compromised with the quality. The
usage of HDMI eliminates this hassle. It can
be as long as up to 40 feet while still
maintaining the optimum quality. In addition,
you do not need to worry if you are looking for
an upgrade! HDMI cables are also compatible with
the DVI. Hence, it eliminates the need to upgrade
immediately your existing cables and components.

Higher Resolution and Remote Control HDMI is the
first and foremost interface to carry high
definition video of the likes of 720 1080
resolution. It also brings in the multi channeled
surround sound signals. Another key feature of
HDMI Cables is that it provides the
ability to control the entire system of
components and display unit using a single remote
control. Higher Transfer Rate Above all, HDMI
Cable is capable of sending uncompressed digital
video and audio signals at a very high
transfer rate up to 5 gigabytes per second.
In simpler terms, it has the ability to send
large amount of data across a long stretch of
wire and that too at a very high speed. As you
would know that the high resolution and high
definition videos sample at very high rate,
the output is sharper and clearer than the
analog signal interfaces and the conversion
from analog to digital signals can have room.
