Nowadays it's no surprise to anything that the world, and technology changes on a daily basis. By the minute even. And in many occasions some of us find ourselves asking: "What is that?" Among the new wave of products that clubs provide, many of them have ready the new video and audio ability that goes by the initials: "Hdmi."
What is Hdmi?
Hdmi Tv
Hdmi stands for "Hi Definition Media Interface".
Put simply, Hdmi is the new way to send video and/or audio with the highest ability ready on most products. Fluctuating from computers, video game consoles, home theaters (Or audio systems), Tvs, and other products, Hdmi is a technology many will have to transition to in the coming months or so.
What do I need to buy to have the best quality?
This is very dependent on how you plan to use your device. Let's take for example the television: (Which is the most common, as computers, video game consoles and virtually all things connects to these nowadays.)
If you plan to:
1. Watch Blu-Ray movies?
You will need:
A. Television that supports a definition of 1080i, or 1080p*
B. The Hdmi cable to replacement the audio and video. These come in separate qualities as well, some only able to work with a definition of 720. You will have to ask at the store to make sure you are buying the right one, or keep an eye on what the box of the cable says.
C. Blu-Ray DvD Player
*This is a subject of it's own. I will try to write about it in the near future.
2. Do you plan to play video games?
A. Console that supports Hdmi (Playstation 3, and Xbox, Wii doesn't have this yet. But they do plan to get underway one Hdmi compatible)
B. The Hdmi Cable that supports the ability you are seeing for.
C. The Television that supports the ability you are seeing for.
D. The Game. *
*Many games have separate qualities. So far most are compatible with a definition of 720, with a few climbing to 1080 definition. Meaning that some of us will be just fine with a Tv, and an Hdmi cable that is cheaper, offering a ability of 720, instead of paying big bucks for 1080.
3. You would like the best audio available?
A. The home theater/audio principles that supports Hdmi. Most of the modern ones do.
Prices estimates?
Tvs range from: ~350$ (Usually those that support a definition of 720) to over 1,000$. Depending on Brand of course, screen size, and some are coming with a new technology which features even greater quality. And thus, higher prices.
Hdmi cables range from: ~10$ - ~100$
Blu-Ray DvD players range from: ~200$ - ~600$ Once more dependent on brand, and if they come with a built in with a good home theater. For the gamers out there, and sometimes for consumers in normal a good selection is the Playstation 3 console from Sony. As this provides many more things than a regular Blu-ray DvD player does, at usually the same price or much lower.
Home theaters: These vary a lot more than even Tvs. So you will have to do a research of your own.
With the right decisions, with a funds of around ,000$ a person could have a good home theater, Blu-ray DvD or console, and Tv. So when putting yourself up to date, and have a Theater of your own in the relax of yours house, make sure to get informed as to what you exactly need. This way you will prevent wasting money on things that you may not even need.
Enjoy a ability like no other.....until they come up with a new one in the years to come!
