System Setup
HDMI is an uncompressed, all-digital signal, while the aforementioned interfaces are all analog. With an analog
interface, a clean digital source is translated into less precise analog, sent to the television, then converted back to
a digital signal to display on screen. At each translation, the digital signal loses integrity, resulting in some
distortion of picture quality. HDMI preserves the source signal, eliminating analog conversion to deliver the
sharpest, richest picture possible.
Though standard HDMI or "Type A" has 19 wires, "Type B" will have 29 wires. The latter is targeted for the motion
picture industry and other professional applications. Both varieties are "Intelligent HDMI," referring to the built-in
capability for HDMI-enabled components to talk to each other via the interface. Auxiliary information can provide
all-in-one remote functionality and other interoperable features not possible in previous interface technologies.
HDMI supports standard video formats, enhanced video and high-definition. It is also backwards compatible with
DVI (Digital Video Interface). High-end graphics cards featuring a DVI port can connect to a HDMI interface via a
DVI/HDMI cable. This is simply a cable with a DVI connector on one end and a HDMI connector on the other. As a
rule, HDMI cables should not run longer than 15 feet (5 meters), or degradation of the signal could occur.
