HMDI Full Form

What is the full form of HDMI?

High Definition Multimedia Interface is what HDMI stands for. It is an all-digital audio-video interface that sends uncompressed video data, compressed or uncompressed digital data, and other signals from a source device that complies with HDMI to a computer display, video projector, digital television, etc. It is the digital replacement for the long-established analogue video and audio standards utilised frequently. Late in 2003, consumer HDMI started to be produced. Since then, other HDMI versions have been created and launched; each includes a cable and connector.
