High-Definition Multimedia Interface Specification Version 1.3

High-Definition Multimedia Interface Specification Version 1.3 This document constitutes the specification for the High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI), version 1.3. The High-Definition Multimedia Interface is provided for transmitting digital television audiovisual signals from DVD players, set-top boxes and other audiovisual sources to television sets, projectors and other video displays. HDMI can carry high quality multi-channel audio data and can carry all standard and highdefinition consumer electronics video formats. Content protection technology is available. HDMI can also carry control and status information in both directions. This specification completely describes the interface such that one could implement a complete transmission and interconnect solution or any portion of the interface. The underlying Transition Minimized Differential Signaling (TMDS)-based protocol and associated electrical signaling is described in detail. The mechanical specification of the connector and the signal placement within the connector are described. A device that is compliant with this specification is interoperable with other compliant devices through the configuration and implementation provided for in this specification. Mechanical, electrical, behavioral and protocol requirements necessary for compliance are described for sources, sinks and cables.
