High Definition Multimedia Interface® (HDMI) technology is the global standard for connecting HDTVs to OTT streaming devices, game consoles, home theater equipment, PCs, Blu-ray players, and more. It combines uncompressed high-definition video, multi-channel surround audio, and intelligent system control data into a high-speed interface that provides crystal-clear digital quality over a single cable.
As an HDMI Founder and principal architect of the technology, Lattice Semiconductor has been a leader in developing and promoting the HDMI standard, which has been licensed by over 1,200 manufacturers and deployed in over a billion consumer products worldwide.
