HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is a proprietary audio/video interface designed to transmit uncompressed digital video and audio from a source device to a display or audio receiver.

It supports a wide range of high-resolution formats, including 1080p, 4K, and even 8K video, along with multi-channel digital audio—all through a single cable. HDMI connectors come in Type A (standard), Type C (mini), and Type D (micro) variants, with Type A being the most common in TVs, projectors, monitors, gaming consoles, and computers. Unlike analog signals used in VGA or RCA, HDMI provides crisper visuals and cleaner sound thanks to digital transmission.

Modern HDMI versions (like HDMI 2.0 and 2.1) include advanced features such as ARC (Audio Return Channel), CEC (Consumer Electronics Control), Variable Refresh Rate (VRR), and Enhanced Audio Return Channel (eARC) for soundbars and home theater systems.

HDMI also supports HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) to prevent unauthorized copying of content. Due to its wide compatibility, ease of use, and support for audio-video synchronization, HDMI remains the most popular interface in both professional and consumer-grade multimedia setups.
