This topic explains the HDMI 1.4 and its features
along with the advantages.
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is an industry-supported,
uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface. HDMI provides an
interface between any compatible digital audio/video source, such
as a set-top box, DVD player, or A/V receiver and a compatible digital
audio and/or video monitor, such as a digital TV (DTV). The intended
applications for HDMI are set-top boxes, TVs, and DVD players. The
primary advantage is cable reduction and content protection provisions.
HDMI supports standard, enhanced, or high-definition video, plus
multichannel digital audio on a single cable.
