Early versions of HDMI (version 1.2 and below) clocked their serial links at 165 MHz, giving the connection a total capacity of 4.95 Gbps. When the HDMI 1.3 specification was introduced in 2006, its optional 340 MHz system clock rate doubled the link’s maximum capacity to 10.2 Gbps. To put some perspective on this enormous bandwidth, it only takes 2.23 Gbps to support a 1080i, 8 bits/color HDTV display running at a 60 Hz frame refresh rate.

The HDMI serial data stream is segmented into packets that allow it to encapsulate nearly any digital media format including standard, enhanced, or high-definition video, multi-channel digital audio and control information on a single cable. Video data is always transmitted in an uncompressed format, complete with horizontal and vertical blanking intervals. The video blanking intervals (Data Island Periods) are used to transmit audio data, which can consist of any compressed, non-compressed, PCM, single or multi-channel formats and control information. The audio formats include the new DTS-HD Master Audio and Dolby TrueHD formats used by Blu-ray media players.

What exactly do you do when it comes to installing and tweaking an amplifier? Every person who purchases one probably asks this question, but if you plan to “do it yourself” some retailers won’t offer many suggestions because they’re not doing the work. In any event, there are many factors to consider when installing an amp, some of which we’ll cover in this issue.

One of the most important factors is the gauge size (AWG) of the wire for your positive (+) and negative (-) terminations: The positive and negative wires should be of the same gauge (AWG). As a veteran would say, you can’t fill with a fire hose and empty with a straw!
