HDMI

HDMI is a digital audio/video interface that can transmit uncompressed video and compressed or uncompressed audio. It is designed to replace analog video standards and implements the ANSI/CTA-861 digital video standard. HDMI carries electrically compatible signals with DVI and allows devices to control each other via the Consumer Electronics Control capability. Several versions of HDMI have been developed with improved features while maintaining compatibility.

High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) is a proprietary audio/video interface for transmitting uncompressed
video data and compressed or uncompressed digital audio data from an HDMI-compliant source device, such as
a display controller, to a compatible computer monitor, video projector, digital television, or digital audio device.
[3] HDMI is a digital replacement for analog video standards.

HDMI implements the ANSI/CTA-861 standard, which defines video formats and waveforms, transport of
compressed and uncompressed LPCM audio, auxiliary data, and implementations of the VESA EDID.[4][5]: p. III CEA-
861 signals carried by HDMI are electrically compatible with the CEA-861 signals used by the Digital Visual
Interface (DVI). No signal conversion is necessary, nor is there a loss of video quality when a DVI-to-HDMI adapter is
used.[5]: §C The Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) capability allows HDMI devices to control each other when
necessary and allows the user to operate multiple devices with one handheld remote control device.[5]: §6.3

Several versions of HDMI have been developed and deployed since the initial release of the technology, occasionally
introducing new connectors with smaller form factors, but all versions still use the same basic pinout and are
compatible with all connector types and cables. Other than improved audio and video capacity, performance,
resolution and color spaces, newer versions have optional advanced features such as 3D, Ethernet data connection,
and CEC extensions.
