Customer Testimonial
As most people have probably experienced trying to select the right cable and connections is a mystery to the lay man. Personally I wanted to be sure I got the most out of my home theatre and did not want to skimp on connections. However some of the retail prices for high end cabling is ridiculous and enough to put you off the whole event.
I searched the net and Cable Chick had the best over all set up by far. The web site was very easy to use and each product has excellent descriptions and information put in very simple terms. The speaker cable, audio coaxial and HDMI cables where all the very best on the market at significant savings compared to retail.
I received my order the next day with no issues, great service. On estimate I saved $245 and got the best gear available. The system sounds and looks fantastic, no flicker on the TV and the audio is crystal clear at any volume.
Thanks again guys, your business took the hard work out of making the right choices for connectivity. Thanks again and take care.
John, Adelaide SA



HDMI Cable - High Definition Multimedia Interface
YouTube Clip - What is HDMI |
What Is HDMI?
HDMI is the latest technology standard for creating high–bandwidth connections to transmit digital data between digital devices. HDMI was developed by a consortium of leading electronics manufactures including Sony, Toshiba, Hitachi, Panasonic, Phillips, and Silicon Image. Since its introduction into the consumer electronics market in 2003 HDMI has experience a rapid rate of adoption even though there is a lag in the move towards HD content.
The latest HDMI standard is version 1.4.a which was released early 2010. However most devices in the market do not as yet support the additional features of the latest HDMI standards.

What Is A HDMI Cable Used For?
HDMI technology is used predominantly to transmit High Definition video and multi–channel audio between digital devices over a single cable. HDMI can be found in a range of late model consumer electronics including Plasma and LCD screens, Blu-ray Disc players, AV receivers, set–top boxes, personal computers (PCs), video game consoles, and Camcorders.
HDMI is the Digital alternative to traditionally used analogue signals such as VGA, Composite Video, S–Video and SCART. For more information on why HDMI is the popular choice for HD cabling solutions watch this YouTube clip – Watch now.

How Does HDMI Work?
A HDMI cable uses TMDS (Transition Minimized Differential Signalling) technology to encode and transmit data between digital devices. TDMS acts to protect data from deterioration as it travels through the copper cables to its destination.
HDMI cables are able to transmit uncompressed data without the need to convert content to an analogue signal between devices as was necessary with other older interfaces. Because no conversion is required there is no deterioration of video quality; Images are smoother and sharper whist audio is crisp and without distortion. This is partly why HDMI is popular for use between HD devices.
HDMI technology transmits all digital audio and digital video signals via the one high–speed cable. Whilst HDMI cables allow for two way communication between devices, HDMI ports currently only allow for information to be sent in the one direction (however the latest HDMI update, version 1.4 will allows for upstream signals to be passed from port to port). With the right setup, HDMI can make a significant difference in a home theatre system. Watch this YouTube clip to view the difference HDMI can make to your home theatre setup - View.

What Is HDMI Compatible With?
HDMI is compatible with DVI (Digital Visual Interface). HDMI is basically an updated version of DVI. Because both DVI and HDMI use the same digital signals, no conversion is necessary when connecting a DVI device with a HDMI device. Further more there is no loss data quality when using an adaptor.
HDMI has been designed as an evolving technology. As such it is expected to be compatible with most future technologies. HDMI supports all current video format standards in resolutions ranging from 480p to 1080p and beyond.
Cable Chick has a range of HDMI connectors and DVI-to-HDMI adapters available.

Are There Competing Technologies To HDMI?
DisplayPort is the primary competitor to HDMI technology. DisplayPort is NOT compatible with HDMI. If you require a DisplayPort Cable, Cable Chick also has a range of these available.
HDMIs Relevance To Today′s Technology
It is estimated that as of 2009, 180 million devices were in circulation that employ HDMI technology. This rapid rate of adoption is expected to see HDMI become a more universal standard of connecting HD devices. HDMI is strongly supported by industry for a number of reasons including, the inclusion of HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection), the ability to evolve with the changing technologies in consumer electronics, and because HDMI is easier for consumers to use. For example, only one HDMI cable is required where previously several various cables were needed.
Recommended HDMI Cable Length
Typically it is recommended that HDMI cables don′t exceed 20 meters to ensure the integrity of data is retained and a high quality output is achieved. However, by using quality HDMI cable, HDMI amplifiers, and HDMI extenders it is possible to use cable lengths in excess of 250 meters.
