An HDMI port is a standardized digital interface used for transmitting high-definition video and audio from a source device to a display device. HDMI stands for High-Definition Multimedia Interface. It is widely adopted in consumer electronics such as televisions, Blu-ray players, gaming consoles, computers, and projectors. The interface allows for a single cable to carry both uncompressed video and compressed or uncompressed audio data, simplifying connections and reducing cable clutter compared to older analog interfaces.

HDMI ports have evolved over time, with different versions offering increased bandwidth and support for new features. For example, newer versions like HDMI 2.0 and HDMI 2.1 support higher resolutions, faster refresh rates, and advanced features such as HDR (High Dynamic Range) and VRR (Variable Refresh Rate). The physical connector itself is relatively small and features a unique shape to prevent incorrect insertion. Different types of HDMI ports exist, including the standard Type A, the smaller Type C (Mini-HDMI), and the even smaller Type D (Micro-HDMI), which are found on portable devices. The widespread adoption and continuous development of HDMI make it a cornerstone of modern home entertainment and computing setups.
