About HDMI
Designed to meet the increased demands of digital TV, HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) is a new digital
interface standard for connecting TVs, projectors, DVD/BD players, set-top boxes, and other video components. Until
now, several separate video and audio cables have been required to connect AV components. With HDMI, a single cable
can carry control signals, digital video, and up to eight channels of digital audio (2-channel PCM, multichannel digital
audio, and multichannel PCM).
The HDMI video stream (i.e., video signal) is compatible with DVI (Digital Visual Interface)
*1
, so TVs and displays
with a DVI input can be connected by using an HDMI-to-DVI adapter cable. (This may not work with some TVs and
displays, resulting in no picture.)
The AV controller uses HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection)
*2
, so only HDCP-compatible components
can display the picture.

This cable carries analog audio. Balanced XLR
cables are used for better noise immunity and longer
cable runs.
Analog audio

This cable carries analog audio. It’s the most com-
mon connection format for analog audio, and can be
found on virtually all AV components.
Multichannel
analog audio

This cable carries multichannel analog audio and is
typically used to connect DVD players with a 7.1-
