HDMI to HDMI Cable For Use With 1080p HD TV’s / Xbox 360 / PS3 /SkyHD etc 2.4m Gold Plated
Product Description
HDMI stands for high definition multimedia interface. It’s a medium-sized 19-pin connection that’s becoming standard on a range of audio-visual products. For TV, DVD and game playing it takes over the function of the Europe-wide SCART socket by carrying sound and pictures simultaneously. Unlike the SCART, HDMI uses digital signals throughout. It can also replace separate digital audio connections, such as optical or coaxial leads. In theory this makes your AV system simpler to link together. Like its name suggests, HDMI can deliver high definition pictures and multichannel digital soundtracks. It can also carry some standard definition formats, which is useful in the case of HDTV receivers, because not all programmes are shown in HD or with 5.1 surround sound. HDMI is also used by ‘upscaling’ DVD players, which take standard DVDs and use digital processing to produce an HDTV-like output. These players can cost as little as £60, so even if you don’t get HDTV broadcasts or own an HD DVD or Blu-ray disc player, you can still benefit from HDMI. Of course your TV will also need an HDMI input – preferably more than one to allow for additional items at a later date. If you run out of available HDMI inputs you can get switch-boxes for connecting more than one HDMI product and swapping between them. One, two or more HDMI inputs are now standard on most new flat-panel LCD and plasma TVs as well as rear-projection TVs and standalone video projectors. Does HDMI always mean better quality? Having HDMI does not guarantee that the product can show genuine HDTV (at least 720 progressively scanned lines or 1080 interlaced lines) because some displays convert to a lower native resolution. Look for an ‘HD Ready’ logo to confirm HDTV compatibility.
