the first and only industry-supported, uncompressed,
all-digital audio/video interface. HDMI provides an
interface between any audio/video source, such as a
set-top box, DVD player, or A/V receiver and an
audio and/or video monitor, such as a digital
television (DTV), over a single cable.

three signals, one containing the black-and-white
information and the other two containing the color

S-Video (AV2) - The video signal is separated into
two signals , one containing the black-and-white
information and the other containing the color

‘cross color’ effects where closely spaced black and
white lines are erroneously d isplayed in color. It
also enables text to be displayed more sharply.
