The development of the High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) concluded in December 2002. This digital interface serves as a standard for transmitting both high-definition video and audio signals from a source device, such as a Blu-ray player, to a display device, like a television or monitor.
The advent of this technology was crucial for the advancement of digital entertainment. It consolidated video and audio transmission into a single cable, improving simplicity and quality compared to earlier analog solutions. Its emergence enabled higher resolution video formats and multi-channel audio, facilitating a richer and more immersive entertainment experience for consumers.
