HDMI cables are now available from connector and cable assembly specialist GTK. HDMI technology integrates all video and sound signals onto a single, thin cable, making it easy to connect components together. In addition, everything on an HDMI cable assembly remains in its original, uncompressed digital format:  signals are no longer converted from digital to analog (in order to run through the cables) and then back to digital.  HDMI also supports standard, enhanced or high definition video at 24bits/pixel, 165MHz maximum clock frequency, as well as bi-directional control signal transfer. The technology offers 5Gbps bandwith, with 55% spared for future expansion, and is backward compatible to DVI hot plug-enabled assemblies up to 5 meters in length.
