What Is Hdmi; Identifying Cable Usage - HP LC3760N User Manual

What is HDMI?

High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) is the first
industry-supported, uncompressed, all-digital audio/
video interface. HDMI components can transmit both
digital audio and video over a single cable with
improved quality over traditional analog connections
due to an all-digital transmission. Transferring digital
sources to display, such as DVDs and HDTV
programming, can now be done without analog
conversions that can degrade the original signal.

Description
Red and white audio connectors connect to the red and white (L and R) audio inputs.
HDMI is capable of transmitting both uncompressed digital audio and digital video
signals because it has video, audio, and control signals.
RF used mainly for antennas. Often used with cable TV, or a cable or satellite
decoder set-top box. May be used with set-top boxes if no other choice is available.
