HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) - It is 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.

RGB PC (VGA) – This video input has separate red,

horizontal and vertical sync information on the green

and

 

into two signals, one containing the black-and-white

‘cross color’ effects where closely spaced black and

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

white lines are erroneously displayed in color. It also

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

enables text to be displayed more sharply.
