Hdmi nouns and video? im looking to buy a lcd full hd 1920x1200
im looking to buy a lcd full hd 1920x1200 pc moniter to play a ps3 as powerfully as use it as a computer screen.
the problem i s i dont chew over my moniter has speakers or its own speaker ports.
and im not sure if hdmi cables(best picture quality) produce nouns aswell?
does it??
because, unless a ps3 has its own speaker ports how am i supposed to acquire the audio on the lcd moniter with out speakers?
appreciation
p.s: i have asked this ask many times and im getting heaps yes's it can prduce audio and no's only picture.
SOME ONE ANSWER, NOT GUUESS!!
thankfulness
Answers:
yes it can produce both video AND audio. One of its several purposes is to cut down on the mess of wires usually found lurking behind audio components. And, to be exact why it looks thicker than other electronics cables.
here, budge to wikipedia.com and search for hdmi. it most imagined tell you what you want to know just about it. The other answers are only in part right and incomplete.
HDMI carries digital HD video and multichannel nouns on a single cable.
It ISN'T thicker than others necessarily (only if made with thicker wires) and is other thinner than the multiple cables it replaces
It DOESN'T multiplex the signals ... audio and video are carried on seperate wires inside the (normally) 19 connector cable (See link)
Now turning to nouns. Very few monitors include speakers, and you really want something better anyway. What's the point of paying for HD gaming and surround sound input and after using tinny speakers? You may also want to play DVDs or Blu-ray disks .. so you may as well do this right. Right?
The PS3 have different outputs so, while video and audio can be sent via a single HDMI cable, they can also be sent separately. For example, video to the monitor (assuming an HDMI input) and surround audio via HDMI or optical to a receiver or powered speakers (e.g. surround computer speakers).
The easiest mode to get nouns is via an HDMI cable to an A/Vamplifier and surround speakers, but computer speakers (which contain their own amplifier) are another option.
If you solely want stereo you can connect via the PS3 A/V multi out port, but if you want surround you need to verify that speakers enjoy an optical input (or digital coax input, but then you will obligation to buy an optical to coax adapter) or you won't be able to connect.
See the 2nd correlation for info on connecting to the PS3. The 3rd link is to a surround computer speaker setup that accept optical input.
Finally, you don't need to spend more than $10-$15 on an HDMI cable (a dutiful online source is Monoprice.com).
So .. there's the info. Hope it helps.
Sounds like everyone is answering the HDMI cross-question and not the monitor question. HDMI is powerful of doing both audio and sound. BUT if your monitor have no sound capability (whcih most pc monitors do not)it will not do you much appropriate. You will need to jump to componet cables and hook the video to the monitor and the audio cable to some sort of receiver to bring back the sound.
Jaezo52 is mostly right, except that the cable is not thicker to carry audio. The audio information is carried on like peas in a pod signal lines as the video. This is not a problem because there are period of time between frames where video notes does not need to be transmitted, giving the audio (a much lower facts rate stream) time enough to go and get its bits through.
Edit 4/5/2008:
About agb90spr's comment about the audio not individual multiplexed. That is incorrect. It is multiplexed. It's carried on the same signal wires as the video but at a different time. I quote here from the wikipedia page:
"TMDS bridge
The Transition Minimized Differential Signaling (TMDS) channel:
* Carries video, audio, and auxiliary information via one of three modes called the Video Data Period, the Data Island Period, and the Control Period. During the Video Data Period, the pixels of an live video line are transmitted. During the Data Island time (which occurs during the horizontal and vertical blanking intervals), audio and auxiliary facts are transmitted within a series of packet. The Control Period occurs between Video and Data Island period."
