HDMI = High Definition Multimedia Interface is a audio/video interface capable of transmitting uncompressed digital streams at very high speed (up to 10.2 Gbits/sec). So it's a high speed audio/video cable ...So?
There are various versions (standards) of HDMI cable from 1.1, 1.2, 1.2a, 1.3, 1.3a, 1.3b1,1.3b2, 1.3c...am I confusing you now? Don't worry, just think of the different versions being improvement over the data transfer rate. The latest and most common with our 2009 Denon and Marantz supports version 1.3a which improves both speed and video clarity. Other than transfering audio/video stream, it provides content protection technology by encrypting data being transferred.
In order to make full use of the HDMI interface, you need to have a HD Ready or Full HD capable video device and of course an AV Receiver that supports the latest HDMI standard. With HDMI, you can get the most out of your Bluray media being displayed on your LCD/Plasma/Projector and be able to output the DTS-HD or DD-HD audio to your home theater system.
For Video output, there are several standards as followed:
A quality HDMI cable will gives the user lossless audio/video streaming. For example, a good cable from QED Performance range.
Always opt for quality cables from brand names like QED and Van Del Hul. No doubts, there are many branded cables which are made in China (OEM products). That's why at Sound Fusion Sdn.
