Ka whakamahia te HDMI hei hono i tētahi pūtake ororongo/ataata (pūpāpāho DVD, pūpāpāho Blu-ray, rorohiko, papatohu kēmu rānei) ki tētahi TV whakamārama-teitei.

Tautoko ana te HDMI i ngā hōputu ataata katoa, tae atu ki te tautuhinga paerewa, te whakarei, te tautuhinga tiketike me te oro multichannel.
He kōpani ataata a HDMI i te raraunga mā te TMDS.

I te tuatahi, ko te mōrahi whakawhitinga HDMI tau ko te 165 Mpixel/s, ka whakaaetia tēnei kia tuku atu i te taumira paerewa 1080p i 60 Hz, UXGA rānei (1600 x 1200).
Engari kua whakanui ake te arowhānui HDMI 1.3 i te tarenga tae atu ki te 340 Mpixel/s.
Ka tukua hoki e HDMI ngā ororongo tae atu ki te 8 hongere kāore i kōpeketia ki tētahi 192 KHz pūtauira tau me ngā roma moka/tauira me ngā ororongo kōpeke pēnei i te DTS me te \Dolby Digital karapoti\.
Kua kōpania hoki tēnei raraunga ki te paerewa tarenga TMDS.
Ka tāpiri te Momo HDMI 1.3 i te tautoko mō ngā roma ororongo tino tiketike - (Lossless) - pēnei i Dolby, TrueHD me DTS-HD Master Audio.

Ko te paerewa HDMI Type A tūhono e 19 ngā pin, ā, ko tētahi putanga taumira teitei ake o te tūhono i kīa ko te tūhono Momo B kua tautuhia hoki : ko te tūhono Momo B 29-pin hei tautoko i ngā taumira tiketike rawa.

Ka whakamahi te HDMI i tētahi tukanga paerewa e whakahaere ana i ngā roma raraunga ataata : TMDS.
I te waihangatanga o te paerewa HDMI, i tautuhia te mōrahi moka me te terenga tarenga i te 165 Mpixel/s. I te nui rawa o tēnei tau hei whakarato i te taumira ataata tae atu ki te 1080p 60Hz. Nā te paerewa pai ake i hua ai te hototahitanga tarenga o tae atu ki te 340 Mpixel/s.

- He hototahi whakamuri te Momo A ki te DVI

I waihangatia te "Atanga Atanga Atanga Mamati" (DVI), Atanga Ataata Mamati rānei e te Rōpū Mahi Whakaatu Mamati (DDWG). He tūhononga mamati ka whakamahia hei hono i tētahi kāri whakairoiro ki tētahi mata.
He painga anake (whakaritea ki te VGA) i ngā mata e wehea ai ngā pika.

hono-kotahi e whakamahia whānuitia ana ki ngā kāri whakairoiro me ngā kaupane rorohiko. Ko te tikanga o tēnei ka taea e tētahi pūtāwhiti, mā te whakamahi i te paerewa DVI

Hono-takirua.

Taumira tino pūnoa mō ngā momo HDMI rerekē :
- SDTV (Pouaka Whakaritenga Tikanga Paerewa) : 720x480i (NTSC) 720x576i (PAL)
- EDTV (Whakarei Tautuhinga TV) : 720x480p (Tōmua NTSC)
- HDTV (pouaka whakamahukitanga tiketike) : 1280x720p, 1920x1080i 1920x1080p

Tautokona ana te whakaaturanga o ngā auautanga rerekē e te paerewa HDMI (tāpare ia hēkona) : 24/25/30/50/60 Hz

Arowhānui TMDS HDMI A

Ko te painga o te kuhunga HDMI e hāngai ana ki ngā tikanga e toru o te HDTV.
Ka whakaae hoki te putanga 1.3 i te whakawhiti i roto i te ataata moka 10 mō ia tae, e tuku ana i te awhe tae whānui ake.
Ka tāpiri tēnei arotakenga i te tautoko mō te hōhonutanga tae moka-48.

Ko te ataata whakawhiti tau awhe mai i 25 MHz, 340 MHz (Momo A, 1.3 paerewa) tae atu ki te 680 MHz (Momo B).
Ka whakamahi whānuitia ngā hōputu ataata ki ngā mokatere 25 MHz nā te tāruatanga o ngā pika.
Ka taea e te tāmata tau te tae ki te 120 Hz.

E tautohu ana te pūtaukī SDTV he hototahi ki ngā paerewa ataata paerewa NTSC, PAL, SECAM rānei.


Nā te mea kai te whāwhai te tohu EDTV, he kaha ake tōna koi i tōna tono SDTV, ā, kāore e pā ana ki ngā whakawhanaunga. Mā konei ka tino pai ake ngā kitenga ina whakaaturia ki tētahi HDTV.


Ko te EDTV te hōputu e whakamahia ana e ngā pūpāpāho DVD e whakahaere ana i te whakawāteatanga o te (karapa tōmua) me ngā papatohu kēmu.
Kia tūpato, ahakoa ka whakaaetia e te papatohu, ka tūhono, ka tautuhi tika hoki, kaua ngā kēmu katoa e tautoko i tēnei hōputu.

- Kāore i te kōpeketia (PCM) : Ko te ororongo PCM tae atu ki te 8 hongere i te auau pūmahara moka-24 tae atu ki te auautanga 192 kHz.
- Kōpeketia : tautoko ana i ngā hōputu kōpeke pūnoa; Dolby Digital 5.1-7.1, DTS, etc.
- SACD HDMI DVD-Audio (tauwhāinga o te SACD HDMI)
- Tautoko ana te HDMI mai i ngā hōputu 1.1 kāore he kounga (Ngarokore)
- E tautoko ana te HDMI i ngā hōputu Dolby TrueHD me DTS-HD Master Audio i kitea i ngā hōputu HD KAM me te Blu-ray.
