Buying Guide
Here are a few tips to help you shop for HDMI-enabled products:
HDMI Version Numbers
Version numbers such as HDMI 1.3 and HDMI 1.4a are primarily of interest to manufacturers, and not very relevant to the consumer. Instead, it is recommended that you focus on the specific features and capabilities of the product you’re buying, and not worry about which HDMI version is supported. Keep in mind that every HDMI version is backward-compatible with all previous versions, so you can be assured that any new equipment you buy will always deliver the highest level of quality that your existing equipment supports.
Finding the Right Cable
With the release of the HDMI 1.4 specification, there are now five HDMI cable types to choose from, each designed to meet a particular performance standard. Here is an overview of the HDMI cable types, their capabilities, and how to tell them apart.
To help consumer and clarify cable types further, all HDMI cable products will now be required to be labeled by cable type. Look for these labels when choosing the HDMI cable that is best for your needs.

Standard HDMI Cable
The Standard HDMI cable is designed to handle most home applications, and is tested to reliably transmit 1080i or 720p video – the HD resolutions that are commonly associated with cable and satellite television, digital broadcast HD, and upscaling DVD players. |

Standard HDMI Cable with Ethernet
This cable type offers the same baseline performance as the Standard HDMI Cable shown above (720p or 1080i video resolution), plus an additional, dedicated data channel, known as the HDMI Ethernet Channel, for device networking. HDMI Ethernet Channel functionality is only available if both linked devices are HDMI Ethernet Channel-enabled. |

Standard Automotive HDMI Cable
Supports up to 720p/1080i (does not support HDMI Ethernet Channel). Since an automotive system may be wired with one or more internal relays that can affect signal strength, the Standard Automotive HDMI Cable needs to send a stronger signal than other cables types, so it is tested to higher performance standards. |

High Speed HDMI Cable
The High Speed HDMI cable is designed and tested to handle video resolutions of 1080p and beyond, including advanced display technologies such as 4K, 3D, and Deep Color. If you are using any of these technologies, or if you are connecting your 1080p display to a 1080p content source, such as a Blu-ray Disc player, this is the recommended cable. |

High Speed HDMI Cable with Ethernet

Choosing the Right HDMI Cable
When it comes to selecting a cable, the HDMI version number is never relevant. There is no such thing as a “Version 1.4 cable” or “HDMI 1.3 cable” - these terms are solely the creation of manufacturers’ marketing efforts. Cables are instead rated by their performance capabilities. There are five HDMI cable types to choose from:
Standard HDMI Cable - Designed to handle most home applications, the Standard HDMI Cable can reliably transmit 1080i or 720p video plus surround audio.
Standard HDMI Cable with Ethernet - Same baseline performance as the Standard HDMI Cable, plus a dedicated Ethernet channel for Internet connection sharing and device networking.
Standard Automotive HDMI Cable - Designed for internal cabling of motor vehicles equipped with onboard HD video systems.
High Speed HDMI Cable - Designed to handle video resolutions of 1080p and beyond, including advanced display technologies like 3D and 4K.
High Speed HDMI Cable with Ethernet - Same baseline performance as the High Speed HDMI cable, plus a dedicated Ethernet channel for Internet connection sharing and device networking.
Each of these cable types should be clearly marked with a distinctive logo, as shown above. These Cable Type Logos are designed to help you easily identify the ideal cable type to support the capabilities of your equipmen.
Shopping for HDMI-ready Components
The HDMI specification is an evolving standard, so revisions and improvements are to be expected. But that doesn’t mean newer versions are inherently better than older versions, or that you should always look for the latest HDMI version when you’re shopping. Instead, you should shop for the specific features you want. Here are a few considerations:
•Video Resolution is always important, since an HDMI link will auto-negotiate resolution between a TV and a source device, such as Blu-ray player or cable set-top box. For instance, a 1080p TV will only display at 1080p if it is connected to a 1080p source device. If the source device has a maximum resolution of 720p, the TV will render at 720p when that device is selected.
•3D is another example of where the TV and source device must both support the feature. A 3D-capable TV must be connected to a 3D source device to render 3D video.
•Deep Color refers to monitors that can display a greater number of colors than traditional TVs, billions or trillions of colors rather than millions. Deep Color technology delivers extraordinary texture and detail, rendering smooth color gradients even in night scenes, blue skies, and other situations where subtle shading is required.
•x.v.Color refers to an expanded, "wider" color gamut that includes colors not traditionally available in TVs. The x.v.Color space incorporates a much larger portion of the visible spectrum than the older RGB color model, presenting a stunning range of colors that more closely resembles the real world.
The HDMI Advantage
HDMI technology is the global standard for connecting high-definition products: the uncompressed, all-digital interface that delivers both dazzling quality and unmatched ease of use. Over 1,000 manufacturers now incorporate HDMI connectivity into a growing list of consumer products:
•HDTVs
•Blu-ray Disc players
•multimedia PCs
•gaming systems
•digital cameras and camcorders
•mobile devices and more.
It’s the one cable that transmits digital video, digital audio, and control data through a single high-speed link, making it the best and easiest way to turn your TV into a home entertainment powerhouse.
Simplicity
•Transmits all formats of digital audio and video through a single cable, replacing as many as thirteen older cables and eliminating clutter.
•Makes it simple to hook up other devices to your home theater system. PCs, gaming consoles, and video cameras can all be connected with the same one-plug convenience.
•Makes it easy to install or upgrade an all-digital home entertainment system. All HDMI versions are backward-compatible with previous versions.
Performance
•Enormous bandwidth capacity – up to 10.2 gigabits per second, more than twice the bandwidth needed to transmit an uncompressed 1080p signal
◦Better looking movies
◦Faster gaming
◦Richer audio
•Future-ready for emerging technologies. ◦3D movies and gaming
◦Higher resolutions, like 1440p or Quad HD
◦Faster refresh rates, like 120Hz.
◦Deep Color, taking the HDTV palette from millions to trillions of colors.
Intelligence
•HDMI is a "smart" two-way connection that allows devices to communicate and interact with each other to dramatically improve your home theater experience.
•Devices connected with HDMI have the ability to scan each other’s capabilities and automatically configure certain settings. An HDTV and a DVD player, for example, can auto-negotiate settings like resolution and aspect ratio to correctly match the format of the incoming content to the highest capabilities of the TV.
•Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) provides for integrated, "one-touch" commands across multiple linked components. When enabled by the manufacturer, CEC allows system-wide behaviors like one-touch play or one-touch record, where pressing a single button on your remote launches a series of coordinated commands.
Connecting HDMI Devices
Setting up an HDMI-connected system is easy:
Finding the Right Cable
There are currently five HDMI cable types to choose from, each designed to meet a particular performance standard. Here is an overview of the HDMI cable types, their capabilities, and how to tell them apart. (more)
Switching between Source Devices
There are two ways to switch between devices such as DVD players, set-top boxes, or gaming consoles:
1.Newer TVs come equipped with multiple HDMI input ports. You can simply plug each source device into its own HDMI input port on the TV.
2.An audiovisual receiver (AVR) with HDMI switching capability can be positioned between the TV and the source devices. Connect your source devices to the AVR’s HDMI input ports, and then link the AVR’s HDMI output port to the TV with a single HDMI cable.
TIP: If you have too many source devices for the available input ports, you can purchase a stand-alone HDMI switching box.
Connecting your Basic Home Theater
HDMI ports on your equipment are always "female," and the connector plugs on the cables are always "male."
Make sure all connectors are firmly in place. The cable needs to be fully engaged to function properly.
TIP: If you have trouble firmly connecting— for instance in tight spaces or vertical configurations— ask your dealer about a swivel adapter or "port saver," a specially designed short HDMI cable.
Connecting your Advanced Home Theater
Long cable lengths — 8 to 30 meters
If you need to send a 1080p signal more than 8 meter, or a 1080i signal more than 16 meter, active electronics will help clean up and boost an HDMI signal when it’s traveling long distances. You can purchase either a stand-alone booster box or an active cable, where the circuitry is embedded in the connectors themselves. In both cases, the connection requires a power source.
Long cable lengths —30 meter+
Several specialized technologies have been developed for extremely long cable lengths. Go to "Running Long Cable Lengths" in the Installer Section of this site for more information.
Running Cable through a wall, attic, or crawlspace
A 2,5cm drill hole will accommodate most connectors.
•Don’t tug or manhandle the cable.
•Don’t twist the connectors.
•Don’t staple directly to walls or studs.
An HDMI cable needs to be handled gently to ensure its continued performance.
What Else Can You Connect Using the HDMI connection?
•Many models of PCs.
•Gaming consoles including the Microsoft Xbox and Sony PS3.
•Digital cameras and camcorders (many of these are equipped with the HDMI Mini Connector, in which case you’ll need an adapter cable to connect to the larger HDMI port on your TV).
•“Location shifting” devices like the Apple TV that let you stream content from a PC to a TV.
•Some personal media players and mobile phones.
•Honda Odyssey automotive HD video system.
