What is HDMI?

Published on 2017-08-24

HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) is a global standard for connecting high-definition consumer electronic and PC products. With a single cable, HDMI transmits digital video, multi-channel surround sound audio, and advanced control data (CEC). HDMI inputs are standard on many products like HDTVs, Blu-ray disc players, multimedia PCs, gaming systems, digital camcorders/cameras, and cell phones.
