HDMI™ & CableCARD™
The HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface™)
video format is basically the DVI (Digital Visual Inter-
face) format. HDMI adds up to 8 channels of digital
sound transmission. It also includes an additional serial
bus that may be used for status and control purposes.

nectors are different. Figure 1-1 shows HDMI plug and

The CableCARD™ feature is the basis for the new regu-

peated in this book.
