DVI to
HDMI Cable - 10 FT from ComputerCableStore™.
Copper Based DVI to HDMI Cables Copper based cables with lengths of 6,10,15,30 and 50 feet. HDMI use a much smaller, user-friendly connector than the DVI connector. The specification handles high-bandwidth, uncompressed video and multi-channel digital audio as well, all in one cable. This cable is
HDCP compliant. High-Definition Multimedia Interface HDMI Cable.
HDTV Resolutions Supported: The 1-30 foot cables are good for resolutions up to 1080p. The 40 and 50 foot cables are good for resolutions up to 1080i. With a DVI Repeater the 40 and 50 foot cables are good for resolutions up to 1080p.
Computer Resolutions Supported: The 1-15 foot cables are good for resolutions up to 1920x1200. The 30 and 50 foot cables are good for resolutions up to 1280x1024. With a DVI Repeater the 30 foot cable is good for resolutions up to 1920x1200.
DVI, or Digital Video Interface Technology came about in 1999 as a result of the formation of the Digital Display Working Group (DDWG) a year prior. Their original mission was to create a standard digital video interface for communication between a Personal Computer and a VGA monitor. Recently, however, the consumer electronics industry began implementing DVD players, set-top boxes, televisions, and LCD/plasma monitors with DVI technology.
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is a compact audio/video interface for transmitting uncompressed digital data. It represents a digital alternative to consumer analog standards such as Radio Frequency (RF) coaxial cable, composite video, S-Video, SCART, component video, D-Terminal, and VGA. HDMI connects digital audio/video sources such as set-top boxes, Blu-ray Disc players, personal computers (PCs), video game consoles, and AV receivers to compatible digital audio devices, computer monitors, and digital televisions. HDMI supports, on a single cable, any TV or PC video format, including standard, enhanced, and high-definition video, up to 8 channels of digital audio, and the Consumer Electronics Control signal. It is independent of the various digital television standards such as ATSC and DVB as these are encapsulations of compressed MPEG video streams (which can be decoded and output as an uncompressed video stream on HDMI). A Digital Visual Interface (DVI) signal is electrically compatible with an HDMI video signal; no signal conversion needs to take place when an adapter is used, and consequently no loss in video quality occurs.
High-definition television (or HDTV) is a digital television broadcasting system with higher resolution than traditional television systems (standard-definition TV, or SDTV). HDTV is digitally broadcast; the earliest implementations used analog broadcasting, but today digital television (DTV) signals are used, requiring less bandwidth due to digital video compression.
High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) is a form of digital copy protection developed by Intel Corporation to prevent copying of digital audio and video content as it travels across DisplayPort, Digital Visual Interface (DVI), High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI), Gigabit Video Interface (GVIF), or Unified Display Interface (UDI) connections. HDCP does not address whether copying would be permitted by fair use laws. The specification is proprietary, and implementing HDCP requires a license.
