Of course, coaxial and fiber-optic cables also provide high-quality picture and sound, but they are not as good as the new protocol.DVI products have similar video transmission parameters, but standard HDMI cables have a significant advantage. They broadcast both audio and video. This means that the number of wires used to connect racks to standard equipment is reduced by at least half.

Like everything in this world, data transfer protocols are evolving rapidly. Today, you can purchase HDMI 1.4, HDMI 2.0 and other cables. Users unfamiliar with the intricacies of the technology can easily get confused by all those numbers and letters.

Meanwhile, the differences between versions 1.3, 1.3a, and 1.3b are so insignificant that they will not matter to consumers.
