HDMI cables are among the most expensive cables most of us will ever come across. I cant tell you the myriad of looks I have seen when l tell customers how much they need to spend on these for their HD flatscreen! The sad truth is HDMI is a great technology, as I will briefly discuss here.
HDMI is like the best multi-tasker you know. It delivers uncompressed high-definition video (up to 1080p with 12-bit color), eight channels of digital audio for 7.1 surround sound and an integrated control channel - all in one relatively compact cable and connection.
MONSTER CABLE suggests the following:
• To get the highest resolution video (1080p), you need to use an HDMI cable, which carries both the video and audio signal. To get a lower resolution High Definition video (720p, 1080i), you need to use DVI or component video cables. S-Video or composite video connections should only be used when other video connections are not available.
• To get Dolby Digital® and DTS® surround sound, you need to use HDMI, fiber optic or coaxial digital audio cables.
• How far is your plasma from your video source? Make sure you get the right cable lengths.
• For the best possible picture and sound, plus protection from surges and spikes, use a Monster PowerCenterTM with Clean Power®.
Certain A/V receivers, digital cable/satellite receivers, DVD
players and digital TVs may not output/process audio or repeat
HDCP encoding when connected via HDMI—causing loss of
audio or connection failure.
You may need to connect using Component Video and Digital
Audio connections, depending upon your system equipment.
HDMI cables and adapters by Monster have been developed in a joint partnership with HDMI founder, Silicon Image. Silicon Image and Monster have worked together to deliver HDMI's crystal-clear, all-digital, high-definition video and multi-channel audio.
