High-definition multimedia interface cable transmits both audio and video data in a single cable, greatly reducing your cable clutter. For example, a component cable connection requires three video cables and two audio cables instead of just one. The HDMI cable is supported by most HDTVs and related components, such as DVD and Blu-ray players, cable boxes and video game systems. Because it provides a digital connection, it is less prone to interference and signal noise than analog cables. And since most components process information digitally, using the HDMI interface cable eliminates the analog to digital conversion that other interfaces require. With this cable, you stand to get both better picture and better sound.
