HDMI Cable and DVI Cable are standards for digital video transfer,
and in the case of hdmi cable, digital audio as well. While DVI handles only uncompressed, real-time
digital video, HDMI can handle both digital video as well as multi-channel audio. The most
attractive feature of HDMI is that it has the ability to turn upwards of 10 separate cables, audio
and video, into one easy to install, small connector cable. HDMI Cable comes in a few different
types and newer versions are backwards compatible with older ones. For instance, an "HDMI cable with
Ethernet" is one of the newest types of HDMI cable, and will work great even for older devices that
do not support ethernet connectivity. In general, HDMI cable does not support analog video signal,
which is why a simple VGA to HDMI cable does not exist without some type of conversion equipment.
DVI on the other hand, does support analog video signal, and you will find the appropriate DVI-A to
SVGA cables below.
10 FT Dual Link DVI-D Cable - M/M
Digital Video Interface (DVI) is the new and upcoming standard for video on computers and LCD monitors. DVI has two sections to the specification, analog and digital. This dual link cable connects a digital DVI video projector or tuner with a digital LCD TV monitor. It uses two wire pairs for each of the colors so it will transmit all resolutions. 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.

1 Meter High Speed HDMI Cable with Ethernet
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) offers a super fast link between two High Definition devices while saving space by combining Audio and Video into a single cable. HDMI v1.4, the newest iteration of HDMI, brings with it support for Ethernet enabled devices by adding in a dedicated channel for internet connectivity, 4K resolution which goes far beyond 1080p, and support for 3D. All Vivid AV™ cables meet or exceed the HDMI standard and will last far into the future. 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.
