Tripp Lite's 6-ft. HDMI - HDMI ( High Definition Multimedia Interface ) straight to right-angle cable allows interconnection between digital display devices, such as DTVs ( Digital Television ), plasma displays, LCD TV's, and projectors, to Digital source devices, such as Digital Set-Top boxes, DVD/DVD-R players, and AV receivers, where space constraints are an issue. HDMI assures that the best video signal is always sent from source (HDTV signal, DVD Player) to the display (Projection Television or Plasma). It does this by allowing uncompressed video and multi-channel audio data to be input to the display device through one single cable. The need for multiple analog connections for high-resolution audio and video are eliminated. Without an HDMI connection, you would need 3 video connections for high definition video and 6 audio connections for high-resolution audio. An HDMI connection allows input at high rates of speed, up to 5 Gbps. This leaves a lot of extra capacity for future applications; for example, a current uncompressed HD movie only requires 2.2 Gbps for both video and multi-channel audio. Tripp Lite Lifetime Warranty.
