CABLES & ADAPTERS OVERVIEW OF CALBES
Digital connections
The digital video signals are transmitted via very
different types of connection. Using the appropriate Hama cables and adapters allows you to connect even
the most diverse jacks together and to make the proper cable connection.
Firewire/IEEE 1394/iLink/Iynx*
connection
4-, 6- or 9-pin models
Digital video interface for quickly transmitting
digital video data to a PC. Data transfer with
up to 400 Mbit/s.
* diverse names according to the manufacturer
Max. cable length: approx. 4.5 m
Data transfer with 1394a: max. 400 Mbit/s
Data transfer with 1394b: max. 800 Mbit/s
1394b is downward compatible to 1394a
USB A connection
USB = Universal Serial Bus
Digital universal interface which is more and
more often used for transmitting digital video
data to a PC. Data transfer with up to 480
Mbit/s (USB 2.0 standard).
USB A: flat design, it is always on the computer
side (upstream)
DVI D-Single Link connection (18+1):
D for digital
Only suitable for digital signal connections. The
Single Link model offers a TDMS Link with 3
data channels. Sufficient for a HDTV connection
with an interlaced resolution
of 1920 x 1080 pixels with 50 Hz picture
frequency.
DVI D-Dual Link connection (24+1):
Only suitable for digital signal connections.
Dual Link offers two TDMS with 6 data
channels.
Socket which is most frequently used.
However, it does not always have to be fully
assigned in a device!
USB B connection
Almost square in shape, it is reserved for peripherals
(camera, scanner etc.) (downstream)
DVI I-Single Link connection (18+5):
I for integrated (digital and analogue)
For digital Single Link connections and for
analogue VGA connections.
HDMI connection
High Definition Multimedia Interface
The data is put out with HDCP copy
protection. The “large” type A connection is
standard, the type C (mini) connection is also
an option.
Thanks to its high bandwidth, data transfer
rates up to 10.2 Gbit/s, HDMI can transfer all
digital formats which one knows today:
- Up until now, only compressed formats such
as Dolby Digital or DTS (Digital Theatre
Systems) could be transferred, this is now
also possible when it comes to the
uncompressed formats Dolby TrueHD and
DTS-HD.
- Video data with bandwidths of 360 MHz.
HDTV also shows no loss of quality.
Apart from audio and video data, monitor
control and remote control signals are also
transferred via HDMI – this is also the case
when it comes to DVI.
M1DA or P&D connection
111-DA: assignment: digital & analogue
111-D: assignment: digital
111-A: assignment: analogue
M1DA = Multimedia 1 Display Adapter
P&D = Plug & Display
The connection integrates a DVI interface with
integrated USB connection. Via the
USB connection, remote control signals e.g.
can be transmitted from a beamer to a PC
or software updates to a beamer.
DVI I-Dual Link connection (24+5):
For digital Dual Link connections and for
analogue VGA connections.
Digital NF signal connections:
ODT/Toslink Plug
ODT/Toslink Socket
Connection for digital audio signals using
optical fibre cables. The transmission of
multi-channel surround sound only requires one
connection, while the transmission of analogue
sound requires 5 cinch connections or more
cable. Since the signals are transmitted optically,
the devices are electrically decoupled.
ODT 3.5 mm plug; MiniToslink
Similar to ODT with a smaller plug design.
Using a special jack, optical or electrical signals
can be transmitted with portable devices, for
example, MP3 players. A 3.5 mm jack coupler
can then be used as an electrical socket via a
3.5 mm universal jack plug. If a
3.5 mm ODT is connected to an ODT cable, the
optical sensor in the device is used.
RCA (phono) digital/RCA (phono) coaxial
Connection for digital audio signals via a 75
ohm coaxial cable. Similar to the ODT, it’s also
multi-channel capable.
