HDMI cables allow digital audio and video connections between devices. In our online store tiendacables.com we have a wide catalogue of HDMI, Ultra HD, Micro HDMI and all kinds of versions of video cables.
HDMI cables allow the connection of digital audio and video between devices, the exchange of data between transmitters such as PCs, tablets, smartphones to receivers such as televisions or projectors. HDMI stands for High Definition Multimedia Interface , and allows the transmission of uncompressed high definition content in a single cable. These are the connectors that are commonly used to connect the computer to the television and thus be able to enjoy the content on the big screen.
Over the years, the versions of these cables have evolved and the latest one refers to the HDMI 2.0 and 2.1 standard that increases the bandwidth to enjoy unlimited Ultra HD 4K technology at 60 frames per second with up to 18 bits of color, as well as the considerable improvement of audio quality, among other features.
In 2017, a new protocol called HDMI 2.1 is coming out, which goes up to 8K at 120 frames per second. It is not yet available.
In addition, there are up to three common types of HDMI cables depending on size and dimensions.
- HDMI type A is the most common, for standard equipment and consisting of 19 pins.
- HDMI Type C or Mini HDMI offers a small size for connecting to SLR cameras, computers or tablets.
- HDMI type D used in portable devices such as micro action cameras or small cameras.
Technology is evolving and the 4K screens of today and tomorrow require a greater flow of data every day. HDCP technology is a standard for protecting high-bandwidth digital content to prevent unauthorized copying, and is present in devices with HDMI connections.
