Heres What You Need to Know About HDMI
Technology HDMI, also known as High
Definition Multimedia Interface is an
advanced technology that is used for transmitting
digital data between two digital devices. This
technology was developed by leading electronics
manufacturers like Philips, Toshiba, Hitachi,
Sony etc. Ever since it was introduced, it
has become quite popular. Its latest version,
2.0, was introduced in September 2013. If you
are new to HDMI Cables or HDMi adapters, and want
to know more about it, take a look at some
frequently asked question and their answers.
These will give you more insights about HDMI
cables and their working.

? What is the purpose of HDMI technology? HDMI
technology is mostly utilized to transmit
multichannel audio and high definition video
data between two digital devices. This
process of transmission takes place through a
single cable. You will be able to find HDMI
technology in all the latest electronic
equipment including AV receivers, personal
computers, set top boxes and camcorders. ? 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? Displayport 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.
3
? 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.
