HiDefinitions

HDMI, DVI, VGA, Component.

Four of the most common hardware interfaces in the industry, and also the most frequently confused. Here's a little HiDef help, listed in order of highest quality to least.

HDMI

HDMI is a full digital, uncompressed interconnect which transmits video and audio from device to device. Examples include from cable/satellite box to amplifier, or from DVD to display. HDMI stands for High Definition Multimedia Interface.

DVI

The DVI standard is a digital video only connection. A DVI port can be found on anything from a computer to a plasma display, to a cable box. The acronym DVI stands for Digital Video Interface.

VGA

VGA stands for Video Graphics Array, and is most frequently seen on computers, and projectors.

Component/RGB

Component, or RGB transmit the three primary video colors Red, Green and Blue in one cable with RCA terminals. While this is an analog connector, it is capable of full high definition signals.

GB1i

GB1i Speaker by PMC

Phrases like articulate, powerful, punchy and expressive have been impartial comments made about the original GB1. Now with the extensive upgrades that bring it to status its performance levels exceed the expectations of the most demanding critic. Its slender form blends seamlessly into any modern interior and does not suggest the sheer level of performance it achieves. It belies its size in both depth of bass and the scale of image taking any music or movie material in its stride.

The GB1 was born out of two award winning PMC loudspeakers, the FB1 and OB1. The technological advances in ATLâ„¢ design in these models provided a platform for the radical GB1 design and the similarities in their sound signatures are clear. Vocals are natural and supremely well defined with an amazing ability to produce breathtaking levels of controlled bass.

The GB1 is highly versatile in both stereo or surround set ups and is suited to modest spaces or open plan rooms either free standing or in close proximity to a rear wall.
