HDMI Cable

HDMI :
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is a compact audio/video interface for transmitting uncompressed digital data.

That is not actually true. All 'video' digital data in any consumer product, is always 'compressed'. Uncompressed digital HD video data is way too much for any current media format to handle. Not to mention the bandwith requirements for transferring 'uncompressed' digital video data.

You cannot transmit HDMI signals over CAT5 cables unless you install a Balun on both ends. What Spiro and Sanjay are talking about is an HDMI cable that can also carry networking information and data.
