About HDMI

High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) is a high-

speed digital interface that can transmit uncompressed
high definition video and digital multichannel audio. It
delivers high quality picture and sound quality. HDMI is fully
backward compatible with DVI. As required by the HDMI
standard, connecting to HDMI or DVI products without
HDCP (High bandwidth Digital Content Protection) will
result in no Video or Audio output.
