HDMI Connector

Let’s first start, with what is HDMI. HDMI is a standard that let audio and video devices talk to each other. HDMI stands for High-Definition Multimedia Interface. It was invented by Sony, Toshiba and some other companies to make it easy on consumers to connect their audio and video devices. HDMI is software or a specification that is embedded inside the chips of TV’s, Blu-ray players and other audio video devices. HDMI software started with version 1.0 and then had updates of 1.2, 1.3, and 1.4. HDMI 1.4 is the latest upgrade and it is faster, provides for better resolution, passes 3D signals, Audio Video return etc.

There are 4 types of HDMI cables:
>Standard HDMI cables support resolutions 720p or 1080i.
>High Speed HDMI cables that support resolutions 720p, 1080i, 1080p or more including 3D.
>Standard HDMI cables with Ethernet network channel.
>High Speed HDMI cables with Ethernet network channel.

Older TV’s that have lower resolutions of 720p or 1080i can use the standard HDMI cables, New TV’s with 1080p or 3D you can use the High Speed HDMI cables. As of 12/7/2001 we are not aware of any components that support Ethernet over HDMI.

Bottom line always choose a High Speed HDMI cable because it supports all TV and component resolutions. That is why at Nextaytechs we are offering only High Speed HDMI cables
