Features / advantages of HDMI:
All-digital gives the highest quality available. HDMI is the only interface in consumer electronics that can carry both uncompressed high-definition (HD) video and uncompressed multi-channel audio in all HD formats including 720p, 1080i, 1080p. An all-digital, uncompressed signal translates into the highest quality video and audio, seen and heard, direct from the source. Supports up to 8 channels of digital audio, it fully supports all current Dolby Digital & DTS formats.
A single cable connection means no more confusion, no more tangled cable mess. Since HDMI carries all channels on video and audio, there is only one cable to plug into any HDMI-enabled source and display device. No more complicated cable set-up when installing your home theater system, and no more ugly cable mess behind your components.
Integrated remote provides simple control of your system. HDMI has built-in intelligence that can automatically configure your system on demand. When utilizing this feature, with the click of a single button, your remote control can tell your HDMI-linked system which components to turn on or off to view a DVD, listen to a CD, or watch cable or satellite TV.
Automatic format adjustment matches content to preferred viewing format. Content comes in a variety of sizes, resolutions and formats. HDMI systems will automatically configure to display the content in the most effective format. If cable TV content jumps from 16:9 format to standard 4:3, an HDMI-enabled TV can automatically adjust to match the ideal format.
PC compatibility enables viewing of your PC data on you HDTV HDMI-enabled devices are backwards compatible with the broad array of DVI-based PCs so you can display PC gaming or entertainment content on your HDTV.
HDMI is fully compatible with DVI (Digital Visual Interface), using a simple plug adaptor or cable. TVs with HDMI will display video received from existing DVI-equipped products, and DVI-equipped TVs will display video from HDMI sources such as set-top boxes, DVD players, A/V receivers and other home theater and entertainment components.
