What is HDMI?
• HDMI, or high-definition multimedia interface, is a next-generation interface that enables the
transmission of digital audio and video signals using a single cable without compression.
• HDMI allows multiple channels of digital audio (5.1 channels).
The difference between HDMI and DVI is that the HDMI cable and plug is smaller in size, has the
HDCP (High Bandwidth Digital Copy Protection) coding feature installed, and supports multi-channel
digital audio.
➢
Each external input source device has a different back panel configuration.
