Overview
3 Overview
High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) is an uncompressed all-digital1
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 Adopter2 and an HDCP Licensee3. In
particular, HDMI:
Provides a simple4 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 lengthy5 cable
Supports standard, enhanced, high-definition video, and multi-channel
digital audio6 on a single cable
Transmits all ATSC HDTV standards and supports 8-channel digital audio,
with bandwidth to spare to accommodate future enhancements and requirements
Benefits consumers by providing superior, uncompressed digital video
quality via a single cable7, and user-friendly connector
Is backward-compatible with DVI (Digital Visual Interface)
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 See http://www.hdmi.org/about/adopters_founders.asp
3 See http://www.digital-cp.com/list/
4 With video and multi-channel audio combined into a s ingle cable, the cost, complexity, and confusion of multiple cables
currently used in A/V systems is reduced
5 HDMI technology has been designed to use standard copper cable construction at up to 15m
6 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
7 HDMI provides the quality and functionality of a digital interface while also supporting uncompressed video for mats in a
simple, cost-effective manner
