HDMI: High-Defi nition Multimedia Interface
(HDMI) is a high-speed digital interface that
can transmit uncompressed high defi nition
video and digital multichannel audio. It
delivers perfect picture and sound quality,
completely free from noise. HDMI is fully
backward-compatible with DVI.
As required by the HDMI standard,
connecting to HDMI or DVI products
without HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital
Content Protection) result in no Video or
Audio output.
