Samsung HP-R4262 High-Definition Plasma TV

In addition to great picture quality, High-Definition Televisions (HDTVs) like the HP-R4262 have numerous connections to simplify interfacing to external equipment. One of the newest solutions is the High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) connection. A number of key manufacturers of consumer electronics defined the connector as a next-generation digital interface specification for consumer electronics products. HDMI carries both the video and audio signals and has sufficient bandwidth for future enhancements. Resembling a USB connector, the HDMI connection is smaller than the Digital Visual Interface (DVI) connector that just handles high-definition video.
