HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) is the first industry-supported, uncompressed, all-digital audio/ video interface. HDMI provides an interface between any audio/ video source, such as a set-top box, DVD player, and A/V receiver and an audio and/or video monitor, such as a digital television (DTV),

HDMI DTVs will display video received from existing DVI-equipped products, and DVI- equipped TVs will display video from HDMI sources. HDMI technology uses a much more compact and user-friendly connector than the existing DVI connector. The HDMI specification handles a higher-bandwidth, uncompressed video and multi-channel digital audio, all in one neat cable solution.
