The Ultimate Advance In Image Presentation Through HDMI Adaptors

By Billaha Preston


Man is a visual being, as are most higher level creatures. The vast majority of our information is gathered through our sense of sight. It is of little surprise then that our efforts to transmit images for the purpose of communication, information and even entertainment have been so thorough. From the initial grainy black and white images of the first television technology has steadily improved until we now have the ability to transmit images and sound through HDMI adaptors of incredible sharpness.

The television broadcast was first demonstrated in London by a Scottish inventor named John Baird in London, England in 1925. Scientists from all over the world worked on the perfection of the device independently and collaboratively for decades. In the period leading up to World War II, many nations were experimenting with television broadcasting, most of this was interrupted during the war.

Now a hungry global market found itself with a new device with which it could keep itself informed of global events every day. That it also provided a medium for whole family entertainment made it all the more alluring. It took a remarkably small amount of time to spread across the world, one of the most ubiquitous electronic devices ever produced.

Early programming consisted of sporting events and community action like the USO drive coverage. This would not last long, once the idea of getting advertising dollars top fund programing became an obvious source. With great dedication programming grew to encompass almost any niche the public could desire. The idea of cable networks, around from the first half of the century gained a strong foothold with the advent of Cable News network, which spawned many more.

Following the natural logic of customer focus, the next step in the evolution of image information and entertainment, beyond additional programming, was the allowance for the consumer to gain control. This was attained through the invention of additional devices that connected to the television. Video cassette recorders changed the way television worked at a fundamental level. Now the programmers were not entirely in control of when people watch and what they watched.

High Definition Multimedia Interface is the ultimate in connectivity, allowing for the interconnection of virtually any and all uncompressed video and compressed or uncompressed digital audio data. This makes for a highly compact extremely efficient transmission of High definition broadcasts with no loss of image quality.

Today we see an amazing array of devices which can be connected to an equally wide variety of monitors for the transmission of extremely clear images. The trick for manufacturers is trying to keep up with the newest devices, while designing their product to remain backward compatible with previous devices still resident in homes. This was the goal, well achieved, in the design and production of HDMI adaptors.
