What is HDMI?

HDMI, or high-definition multimedia interface, is an interface that enables the transmission of digital audio and video signals using a single cable.

The difference between HDMI and DVI is that the HDMI device is smaller in size and has the HDCP (High Bandwidth Digital Copy Protection) coding feature installed.

Each DVD Player or Cable Box / Satellite receiver (Set-Top Box) has a different back panel configuration.

When connecting a DVD Player or Cable Box / Satellite receiver (Set- Top Box), match the color of the connection terminal to the cable.
