Iingcamango eziqhelekileyo ze-HDMI (i-High-Definition Multimedia Interface)

    I-HDMI luphuculo olupheleleyo lwedijithali lomgangatho wevidiyo ye-analog okhoyo.

I-HDMI ilandela umgangatho we-EIA/CEA-861, ochaza ifomathi yevidiyo kunye ne-waveform, indlela yokudlulisela isandi esicinezelweyo nesingenaxinzelelo (kuquka isandi se-LPCM), ukucutshungulwa kwedatha encedisayo, kunye nokusetyenziswa kwe-VESA EDID. Kubalulekile ukuqaphela ukuba isignali ye-CEA-861 ethwalwa yi-HDMI ihambelana ngokupheleleyo nombane nesignali ye-CEA-861 esetyenziswa yi-digital vision interface (DVI), oko kuthetha ukuba xa usebenzisa i- I-adaptha ye-Dvi ukuya kwi-Hdmi, akukho mfuneko yokuguqulwa kwesignali kwaye akukho kulahleka komgangatho wevidiyo.

Ukongeza, i-HDMI ikwanomsebenzi we-CEC (Consumer Electronics Control), ovumela izixhobo ze-HDMI ukuba zilawule omnye komnye xa kuyimfuneko, ukuze abasebenzisi bakwazi ukusebenzisa izixhobo ezininzi ngokulula ngolawulo olunye olukude. Ukususela ekukhutshweni kokuqala kwetekhnoloji ye-HDMI, kuye kwaqaliswa iinguqulelo ezininzi, kodwa zonke iinguqulelo zisebenzisa iintambo ezifanayo kunye nezihlanganisi. Inguqulelo entsha ye-HDMI ikwabonelela ngeempawu eziphambili ngakumbi, ezifana nenkxaso ye-3D, uqhagamshelo lwedatha ye-Ethernet, kunye nokusebenza okuphuculweyo kwesandi nevidiyo, amandla kunye nesisombululo.

Ukuveliswa kweemveliso ze-HDMI zabathengi kwaqala ekupheleni kuka-2003. EYurophu, ngokweenkcazo zeleyibhile ze-HD Ready ezenziwe ngokudibeneyo yi-EICTA kunye ne-SES Astra ngo-2005, iiTV ze-HDTV kufuneka zixhase ii-interface ze-DVI-HDCP okanye ze-HDMI. Ukusukela ngo-2006, i-HDMI iye yabonakala kancinci kancinci kwiikhamera zeTV ezikumgangatho ophezulu zabathengi kunye neekhamera zedijithali ezingashukumiyo. Ukusukela nge-8 kaJanuwari 2013 (unyaka weshumi emva kokukhutshwa kweenkcukacha zokuqala ze-HDMI), izixhobo ze-HDMI ezingaphezu kwe-3 yeebhiliyoni zithengisiwe kwihlabathi liphela.
