High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) is the first industry-supported, UNCOMPRESSED audio/video interface. This cable connect DVI devices to HDMI devices for DVD,PSP, set top boxs, satellite boxes, LCD, projectors, plasma and HDTVs. HDMI provides an interface between any HDMI-enabled audio/video source, such as a set-top box, DVD player, and A/V receiver and an audio and/or video monitor or projector.
HDMI supports standard, enhanced, or high-definition video, plus multi-channel digital audio on a single cable. It transmits all ATSC HDTV standards and supports 8-channel digital audio, with bandwidth to spare to accommodate future enhancements and requirements.
HDMI is backward-compatible with single-link DVI-D type connections, so in the vast majority of cases, devices with DVI-D or DVI-I jacks can be successfully connected to HDMI devices with a DVI to HDMI cable. HDMI/DVI cable carries what amounts basically to a digital version of RGB video, and because the DVI standard does not support embedded audio, this connection will carry video but no audio.
Certain questions come up repeatedly involving DVI/HDMI cable, so we'll try to anticipate and answer a few of those here: * An HDMI to DVI cable is the same thing as a DVI to HDMI cable; it will work in either direction. * An HDMI to DVI cable cannot be used in connection with a DVI-to-VGA adapter or any other arrangement to route analog video into or out of digital ports. * Some HDMI to DVI cables may have more pins in the DVI connector than ours does. These pins represent DVI-A analog connections or DVI-D Dual Link connections; when they are present, they are not connected to anything. The absence of these pins from our cables does not affect function in any way. * A DVI-D plug can be plugged into a DVI-I socket; if your device has a DVI-I socket, it will work with this cable as long as it accepts (or puts out) a digital DVI signal..
