The HDMI interface supports full high-definition image transmission, and can also transmit digital audio. HDMI version 1.2 is now generally used, with a transmission bandwidth of about 5Gbps, 160Mhz, and 24bit color. For non-commercial applications, it is completely sufficient. Version 1.3 may also become popular in the future, and the bandwidth and data transmission capacity will be doubled.

The theoretical transmission distance of a single HDMI cable is 10-15 meters, but in actual use, it does not need to be that long. Before buying, it is best to measure the required length, as long as the balance of 50 cm is enough for the measurement result. If it exceeds 15 meters, CE-LINK recommends customers to use an amplifier to amplify the signal, generally 40 meters can be used.
