The Blu-ray Disc Association (BDA) spokespersons have stated (Sept. 2014 at IFA show in Berlin, Germany) that the Blu-ray, Ultra HD players, and 4K discs are expected to be available starting in the second half to 2015. It is anticipated that such Blu-ray UHD players will be required to include a HDMI 2.0 output that supports HDCP 2.2. High definition media interface (HDMI ) transfers uncompressed audio signals as well as video signals. It does this using cables. It can be used to connect to your television, to a monitor, laptop and so many other devices. This section may require cleanup to meet Wikipedia's quality standards.

( June 2019) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message) Several versions of HDMI have been developed and deployed since the initial release of the technology, occasionally introducing new connectors with smaller form factors, but all versions still use the same basic pinout and are compatible with all connector types and cables. Other than improved audio and video capacity, performance, resolution and color spaces, newer versions have optional advanced features such as 3D, Ethernet data connection, and CEC extensions.

Hence, if you want audio you need a separate cable or any other way to have the sound. StarTech 8” HDMI to DVI-D Video Cable AdapterOn August27, 2012, Asus announced a new 27in (69cm) monitor that produces its native resolution of 2560×1440 via HDMI 1.4. [181] [182] HDMI 2.0b was released March 2016. [121] HDMI 2.0b initially supported the same HDR10 standard as HDMI 2.0a as specified in the CTA-861.3 specification. [118] In December 2016 additional support for HDR Video transport was added to HDMI 2.0b in the CTA-861-G specification, which extends the static metadata signaling to include hybrid log–gamma (HLG). [118] [122] [123] Version 2.1 [ edit ] Many mobile phones can produce an output of HDMI video via a micro-HDMI connector, SlimPort, MHL [187] [188] [189] or other adapter. [190] [191] [192] [193] Legacy compatibility [ edit ] The HDMI Alternate Mode for USB-C allows HDMI-enabled sources with a USB-C connector to directly connect to standard HDMI display devices, without requiring an adapter. [194] The standard was released in September 2016, and supports all HDMI 1.4b features such as video resolutions up to Ultra HD 30Hz and CEC. [195] Previously, the similar DisplayPort Alternate Mode could be used to connect to HDMI displays from USB Type-C sources, but where in that case active adapters were required to convert from DisplayPort to HDMI, HDMI Alternate Mode connects to the display natively. [196] Although no maximum length for an HDMI cable is specified, signal attenuation (dependent on the cable's construction quality and conducting materials) limits usable lengths in practice [70] [71] and certification is difficult to achieve for lengths beyond 13m. [72] HDMI 1.3 defines two cable categories: Category 1-certified cables, which have been tested at 74.25MHz (which would include resolutions such as 720p60 and 1080i60), and Category 2-certified cables, which have been tested at 340MHz (which would include resolutions such as 1080p60 and 4K30). [5] :§4.2.6 [63] [73] Category 1 HDMI cables are marketed as "Standard" and Category 2 HDMI cables as "High Speed". [3] This labeling guideline for HDMI cables went into effect on October 17, 2008. [74] [75] Category 1 and 2 cables can either meet the required parameter specifications for inter-pair skew, far-end crosstalk, attenuation and differential impedance, or they can meet the required non-equalized/equalized eye diagram requirements. [5] :§4.2.6 A cable of about 5 meters (16 feet) can be manufactured to Category 1 specifications easily and inexpensively by using 28 AWG (0.081mm 2) conductors. [70] With better quality construction and materials, including 24AWG (0.205mm 2) conductors, an HDMI cable can reach lengths of up to 15 meters (49 feet). [70] Many HDMI cables under 5meters of length that were made before the HDMI 1.3 specification can work as Category 2 cables, but only Category 2-tested cables are guaranteed to work for Category 2 purposes.

The adapter comes with different cabling lengths including 3, 6, 10, 15, 25, and 35 feet. All the cables have gold plated ends. The signal that they provide is excellent. The gold plating helps in preventing corrosion.
