 I. Introduction
1. Concept.
- HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) . This is a connection
standard that allows the transmission of images and sounds through a
cable to a large projection screen like a television.
 I. Introduction
2. Structure.

There are nineteen pins in an

HDMI connector
- Pins 1 through 9 carry the three
TMDS data channels (Transition
Minimized Differential Signaling –
the technology that allows DVI and
HDMI to send high-speed digital
data). TMDS data includes both
video and audio information, and
each channel has three separate
lines for + values, - values, and a
ground or data shield.
 I. Introduction
- Pins 10 through 12 carry data for the
TMDS clock channel, which helps keep
the signals in synchronization.
- Pin 13 is carries the CEC (Consumer
Electronics Control) channel, used for
sending command and control data
between connected devices.
- Pin 14 is reserved for future use..
- Pins 15 and 16 are dedicated to the
DDC (Display Data Channel), used for
communicating EDID (Extended Display
Identification Channel) information
between devices.

- Pin 17 is a data shield for the CEC and DDC channels.

- Pin 18 carries a low-voltage (+5V) power supply.
- Pin 19 is the Hot Plug Detect, dedicated to monitoring power up/down and
plug/unplug events.
