Technically speaking, HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) provides an interface between audio/video devices, such as DVD players, Blu-ray players, cable, satellite set-top boxes, audio receivers, projectors, and digital displays.
HDMI Cables
An HDMI cable transmits the highest resolution signal for both video and audio. If both devices contain an HDMI port, they can be connected. But, different solutions require different types of HDMI cables depending on the specific feature or speed rating.
Nearly all HDMI devices need only standard speed support. “Stand Speed” means that the cable can sustain data speeds of at least 4.92 Gbps. Some newer Blu-ray players, and nearly all 3 D Blu-ray players need a High Speed HDMI cable, which sustains speeds of at least 10.2 Gbps due to the higher volume of video and audio data it must transfer.
What is the difference between a Direct HDMI connection and a Multi-Segment HDMI?
A direct HDMI connection uses a single HDMI cable connected to the source equipment and is attached directly to the end TV. On the other hand, a multi-segment HDMI cable connections uses more than one HDMI cable to connect from the original source equipment (such as connecting a projector directly to laptop or a computer directly to a TV). An intermediate device such as an A/V receiver or HDMI Switch can be placed-in-between the source equipment (such as a DVD player) and the TV.
