What are the different levels of HDMI® quality?

The

different quality levels of the multimedia interface® (HDMI®) with high resolution (HDMI®) depend very much on the basis of the equipment used and cables used to connect different devices. While in general, the HDMI® quality depends on the age of used devices, given the HDMI® version has been created for use by high -resolution televisions (HDTV) and other devices, it can also change HDMI® cables used to connect different devices. Previously, customers were able to look for specific versions on devices, but moving forward manufacturers will be required to indicate what functions and aspects of certain versions are used and supported by a device or connector.

In 2002, which were first published in 2002, at that time, the first time was released fairly standard. As long as the correct adapters were used, there was no loss of signal between devices that used two and those used by HDMI®. HDMI® 1.1 was released in 2004 and added support for the sound format used by DigiTal universal disks (DVD) and was called DVD-Audio. In 2005, HDMI® 1.2 was released and support for super audio compact disks (CD), a competitive DVD-Audio product and increased personal computer support (PC) via HDMI®.

Real HDMI® quality improvements came with HDMI® 1.3 in 2006, which increased HDMI® cable bandwidth from the original 4.9 gigabits per second (GBITS/S) to 10.2 GBITS/s. These HDMI® quality enhancements have been designed to use HDMI®, such as HDTV, innovation such as Deep Color® and greater sound quality in domestic cinema systems than ever before. Since then, most of the main changes have been coming with an increase in what HDMI® Support can be able to enable.

HDMI® 1.4 was released in 2009 and introduced the HDMI® Ethernet cable that allowed data transfer and Internet connection via HDMI®without the need for a separate Ethernet cable. In HDMI® 1.4 cables, a sound channel was also introduced to allow one cable that allowed the "upstream" and "downstream" audio transmissions in the home theater settings. Version 1.4 also introduced two main HDMI® quality improvements with an increase in the supported screen resolution of what is called 4K, four times more than 1080p, and the creation of industry standards and logs for three-dimensional (3-D) HDTV sets.

Consumers looking for equipment and HDTV to use these improvements in HDMI® quality should look for specific features on packages. Not all products that support a particular version will necessarily support each version of the version. Manufacturers will have to indicate what functions it supports, so consumers are not checked. Similarly, some of these features require HDMI® high -speed cables or HDMI® Ethernet cables, and they should be sought appropriately.
