The abbreviation HDMI stands for “High Definition Multimedia Interface”. As with DisplayPort, it is a digital interface for the transmission of high-resolution video and audio signals. <\/p>\n
Good to know: What is DisplayPort?<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n HDMI is mainly used in consumer electronics to connect DVD players, laptops or computers to televisions or monitors.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Even if they look the same, a distinction is made between HDMI input and output. The HDMI output is the port on the device that transmits the content. (e.g. computer, console, etc.) <\/p>\n The HDMI-In port, however, turns the tables: as the name suggests, it is an input, i.e. it is in the device that receives the content. (e.g. screens) <\/p>\n However, there are always HDMI-in ports on computers, such as on our ONE i5. An HDMI-in port on a computer essentially works like an HDMI input on a TV or monitor, with the difference that it can receive content from external devices such as games consoles, Blu-ray players or video cameras. <\/p>\n Discover the ONE i5<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n In order to keep pace with constantly advancing technology, the HDMI interface has been continuously developed. The various specifications, which amount to a total of 13, have confused many buyers over the years. We also want to keep it short and therefore only go into the most important updates to the interface:<\/p>\n In order to create a clearer and more comprehensible labeling of the cables, they are no longer marked with the version number (1.0, 1.4, etc.), but are divided into four speed classes:<\/p>\n <\/p>\nApplications of HDMI<\/h2>\n
