l General Information about HDMI [Text & Images Contain Registered Copyrighted Material of Internetional Business And logistics and its owner(s)]
HDMI stands for High Definition Multimedia Interface. HDMI started out in around 2003 and there are over 800 Consumer electronics and Computer companies and manufacturers who have adopted the HDMI specification, which ranges from Version 1.0 till Version 1.3b1.
HDMI is BOTH an Audio and Video Cable in one, taking the hassle out of complicated wiring setups prevalent with existing RCA wires and cables. Each single HDMI cable can support any Video format including standard definition, enhanced, and high definition video, as well as 8 channels of digital audio.
Although there are many HDMI versions, most of the HDMI cables produced these days are designed to be able to support functions and devices in the future versions of HDMI because there are spare pin connections in the cable to allow for feature support to be added in the future.
HDMI cables connect digital audio/video sources to each other. Most High definition devices can utilise HDMI Cables. Examples include Standard and High Definition Plasma and LCD Televisions, Video game consoles (PS3 etc), Computer Video Cards (Using a DVI adapter), Digital set top boxes, Blue-ray players/recorders, digital still cameras and much more.
HDMI is set to become more popular than DVI in 2008 due to its compact size and the increase in demand from the Consumer Electronics Market.
HDMI should not be confused with other Digital Video standards like ATSC, DVB-T/S/C or MPEG. HDMI works more or less used as a relay. For example, Digital TV or AVI / MPEG / WMV / MP4 data is first processed by a Digital Set top box or a home computer, and is then re-converted to uncompressed (maximum quality) TMDS signals which this cable then sends to your Plasma / LCD TV or Computer monitor etc..

Our opinion of its features [Text & Images Contain Registered Copyrighted Material of Internetional Business And logistics and its owner(s)]
At 2 to 4 Metres, we have not noticed any difference in performance with the more expensive cables available,
This cable is well built. Other cables may use braids or metal coatings that expand and contract with differences in temperature (creating gaps etc), and don't protect the inner cables from accidental furniture crushes or bending.. This cable however, uses waterproof and temperature stress resistant PVC coating that takes the brunt of any impact also making it is more durable and resistant to the elements. It won't absorb and spread condensation and moisture like some other cables. So although it is less flexible, it will likely last much longer and has a greater chance of survival after being trampled or crushed by sharp household objects.
There are no known problems or issues with these cables. This model performs perfectly and as expected.
