Showing Results For: Video Cables (DVI, HDMI)
Video cables (DVI and HDMI) are essential components for connecting various electronic devices with integrated interconnects on either end. These cables provide convenient and reliable connectivity solutions between various video sources, including displays such as monitors, TVs, and projectors. They transmit digital video and, in some cases, audio signals between the source device (such as a computer, Blu-ray player, or gaming console) and the display. DVI and HDMI cables are crucial components in modern home entertainment and computer systems, ensuring a seamless and immersive audiovisual experience for users.
DVI is a type of video cable commonly used to connect computers, monitors, and other display devices. DVI cables transmit digital video signals and can carry both video and, in some cases, audio signals. They come in different variants and can carry both digital and analogue video signals, depending on the specific DVI connector and the capabilities of the connected devices.
A typical DVI cable comes in the following types:
HDMI is a versatile cable standard that can transmit both video and audio signals (digital) over a single cable. HDMI cables are favoured for connecting devices like HDTVs, Blu-ray players, gaming consoles, and computers to displays and home theater systems. HDMI supports various versions, such as HDMI 1.4, HDMI 2.0, and HDMI 2.1, each offering different features and capabilities. HDMI 2.1, for instance, supports higher resolutions, refresh rates, and enhanced gaming features.
HDMI video cables come in various types and versions, each designed to support different features and specifications. The most common types of HDMI cables include:
HDMI cables differ from DVI cables in terms of their intended usage. HDMI carries more compact connectors with 19 pins configured for transmitting both video and audio signals, making it more suitable for multimedia and home theater setups. On the other hand, DVI cable is primarily used for computer-to-monitor connections and does not support audio, so a separate audio cable is needed when using DVI. Furthermore, DVI can be adapted to work with HDMI by using a DVI-to-HDMI cable or adaptor. In contrast, HDMI is not directly backward compatible with DVI without adapters or converters.
DVI cables are used with older computer monitors and other devices, including projectors, medical equipment, and digital kiosks, ensuring high-quality video connections. On the other hand, HDMI cables find applications in:
