HDMI
HDMI High-Definition Multimedia Interface. A new connection standard for feeding signals from sources to output devices in digital format. This carries both uncompressed digital video (in a form compatible with DVI) and uncompressed digital audio. Suitable encryption protocols are implemented on both (that for the video is HDCP) to resist digital copying. It has a huge bandwidth (up to 5 gigabits per second) allowing it to carry even 1080i video and, at the same time, up to eight channels of 24 bit, 192kHz digital audio. Plus it handles interaction between equipment, easing the way towards true single-remote-control of all devices. From a user perspective, though, it will mean that a DVD player need be connected to a home theatre receiver with just one cable (rather than the up to twelve currently: analogue audio x 6, digital audio x 1, component video x 3, S-Video x 1, composite video x 1). The receiver will then, presumably, provide a DVI output to on-forward the video to the display device.
