High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) is an uncompressed all-digital
1
• Provides a simple
audio/video interface, widely supported in the entertainment and home cinema
industry. It delivers the highest high-definition image and sound quality. Note that
Kramer Electronics Limited is an HDMI Adopter and an HDCP Licensee. In
particular, HDMI:

interface between any audio/video source, such as a
set-top box, DVD player, or A/V receiver and video monitor, such as a digital
flat LCD / plasma television (DTV), over a single lengthy
3
• Supports standard, enhanced, high-definition video, and multi-channel
digital audio
cable
4
• Transmits all ATSC HDTV standards and supports 8-channel digital audio,
with bandwidth to spare to accommodate future enhancements and requirements
on a single cable
• Benefits consumers by providing superior, uncompressed digital video
quality via a single cable
5
• Is backward-compatible with DVI (Digital Visual Interface)
, and user-friendly connector
• Supports two-way communication between the video source (such as a
DVD player) and the digital television, enabling new functionality such as
automatic configuration and one-button play
HDMI has the capacity to support existing high-definition video formats (720p,
1080i, and 1080p/60), as well as standard definition formats such as NTSC or PAL.
Achieving the best performance means:
• Connecting only good quality connection cables, thus avoiding
interference, deterioration in signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated
noise levels (often associated with low quality cables)
• Avoiding interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may
adversely influence signal quality and positioning your FC-47 and/or FC-48
in a location free from moisture and away from excessive sunlight and dust
1 Ensuring an all-digital rendering of video without the losses associated with analog interfaces and their unnecessary digital-
to-analog conversions
2 With video and multi-channel audio combined into a single cable, the cost, complexity, and confusion of multiple cables
currently used in A/V systems is reduced
3 HDMI technology has been designed to use standard copper cable construction at up to 15m
4 HDMI supports multiple audio formats, from standard stereo to multi-channel surround-sound. HDMI has the capacity to
support Dolby 5.1 audio and high-resolution audio formats
5 HDMI provides the quality and functionality of a digital interface while also supporting uncompressed video formats in a
simple, cost-effective manner
