What Makes HDMI Cables So Good?

Initially developed just eight years ago, HDMI cables (High Definition Multimedia Interface) have quickly achieved worldwide popularity as the best way to connect an HD TV with gadgets such as DVD players and home cinema systems, computers and laptops and cameras and phones.

So what makes HDMI cables so important to millions of people?

The rate of development

HDMI Version 1.4a was released in March 2010, less than eight years after the very first HDMI cable, demonstrating the commitment that electronics companies have made to remaining at the cutting edge of HD technology. The very latest HDMI cables support 3D, utilise Ethernet connections and can be used to hook up an HD TV with handheld devices such as smartphones. And all this with no information or quality loss. All newer versions are backward compatible and development continues as audio and video technology and products evolve, although HDMI cables are already ahead of the game with TVs playing catch-up in terms of the detail they can display.

Ease of use

HDMI cables are a more straightforward way of connecting devices as just one cable can transmit both video and audio signals. Set-up is simple - just follow the instructions in the menu options of the device - and as a single HDMI cable can support up to eight channels, just one remote control is needed to operate the different gadgets connected. Furthermore, HDMI cables can be custom-made to exact requirements, such as for those with a home cinema system, and do away with the mess of wires that can often accumulate.

The very latest technology

HDMI cables were developed to improve on DVI (Digital Visual Interface) products and offer a hi-tech solution to boost visual and audio enjoyment. As the technology has been improved, HDMI cables can now offer full colour and 3D support, surround sound and audio syncing and Ethernet connectivity and can be used with a wide range of devices thanks to differing connectors.

No loss of information

HDMI cables transmit audio and video signals digitally with no loss of information up to lengths of around 10m. This means high quality sound and picture all the time without interference.

Award-winning technology

The developers of HDMI technology have been recognised for their work throughout the world. In 2008, PC Magazine gave a Technical Excellence Award in the Home Theater category to the CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) portion of the HDMI specification for an "innovation that has changed the world" and the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences gave the founders of HDMI the Technology & Engineering Emmy Award.
