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.
