An excellent question. I’m sure many people ask themselves why they should switch to this new jack for their high definition televisions or disc players all the time. To boil it down to one word, think “digital. ”HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) is a next generation jack that sends fully uncompressed audio and video signals from your source equipment (such as a Blu-Ray disc player, a DVD player, or your amplifier) to your high definition television. Instead of jacks like component video (those Red/Green/Blue connectors we are all familiar with) or DVI, HDMI uses just one small jack to handle it all; you don’t have to hook up any additional audio connectors to put together your picture and sound package. How does purchasing all of this new and baffling equipment affect you? It means that, rather than purchasing a whole bunch of jacks to put it all together, you can use just one single jack to connect your HDMI equipped source (such as Blu-ray disc player, gaming equipment like Xbox 360 and Wii, high definition cable or satellite box, or that brand new A/V surround sound receiver you just purchased) and your high definition television. I don’t know how much easier it could get. You will get brilliant picture quality at a maximum of 1080p, and you will hear an original distinct surrounding audio sound. Well some people will state, “The component video cable setup I have now appears to be alright and sounds good with my new HDTV. ” In many ways this is the truth. But your typical component video cable is simply unable to connect a Blu-ray player to your high definition television and provide the quality and clarity the high definition has to offer. For televisions that are bigger than 50 inches, adapting Blu-ray and using 1080p is similar to washing the windows on your house or car. Okay, so you can look out just as they are normally, but when they have been thoroughly cleaned, it’s as if they don’t exist. Here’s an illustration of why you should adapt to HDMI. Grab a movie like “I, Robot”, one on a regular DVD and one on the new Blu-ray. Join your new Blu-ray player together with HDMI and also component video in turn. Then watch the movie as a normal DVD. It will have a high quality appearance and a wonderful sound. Now watch the movie again with an HDMI cable and the Blu-ray disk; make sure your player is set to 1080p, just like your new high definition TV, and check that your surround receiver is able to use the latest audio formats like DTS-HD 5. 1 Master Audio. The change is amazing. While the video is markedly better, almost like in-home 3-D, it’s the master audio soundtrack that makes you really feel like you are at the filming. The fantastic reflection and sound are a real testimony to the reason you desire to have HDMI connections along with your new HDTV gear. An additional purpose to use HDMI is your new A/V digital surround device. HDMI delivers both Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio tracks. This provides quality your Toslink optical and coaxial digital cables can’t match, and it’s an incredible improvement from the usual surround track provided by DVD. Now, not only does it let things scan around your 5. 1 or 7. 1 theater, it does it in a much more controlled manner that immerses the viewer in the action on the screen. You can see a huge contrast right from the get-go. So, it should be fairly obvious that, if it is available to you, HDMI can make connecting your equipment easy. It also can get rid of the tangle of wires that’s lurking behind your equipment, providing you with an unequaled picture and sound experience for your new 1080p television and Blu-ray disc player without the hassle.
