what is HDMI ???

HDMI is the global standard for connecting high-definition Consumer Electronics and PC products. It’s the uncompressed, all-digital interface that delivers both dazzling quality and unmatched ease of use.

HDMI technology provides the highest possible signal to meet the needs of today’s – and tomorrow’s – HD entertainment systems. With a single cable, it transmits:

•digital video
•multi-channel surround sound
•advanced control data
More than 800 manufacturers have adopted the HDMI standard, including some of the world’s most trusted brands.

•229 million HDMI-enabled devices shipped in 2008 and 300 million 2009.
•Market research from In-Stat projects over a billion HDMI devices in the market by 2010, when every new digital TV will feature at least one HDMI port
HDMI connectivity is already standard on a wide range of products:

•HDTVs
•Blu-ray Disc players
•multimedia PCs
•gaming systems
•digital camcorders, and more.
With HDMI connectivity, you get it all. The convenience of a one-cable solution, plus the power and performance of a high-speed digital link. Now and in the future, it’s the best way to connect HD.

Benefits of whole house audio





What is "whole house audio"?

Larger homes (more so than smaller homes) may benefit from having the ability to play music in all rooms throughout or different music simultaneously in a few select rooms.

Benefits of having whole house audio:
*Everyone in your house has different music tastes and you don't enjoy listening to their music
*You are having a party (and don't want the one room with speakers to be really loud)
*You want the big game to be heard everywhere because you are not staying in just one room
*You can fast forward through track lists or songs you don't like
*Can have different volume levels in each room
*Adds value to your home
*Enjoy different audio sources simultaneously (iTunes, FM, Sirius radio, Cable TV music, CD) *Speakers are not seen unless you are looking for them
