Home cinema projectors and HDMI instead of DVI

[russell2002]

As above, all the HD projectors seem to have HDMI input and not DVI.

If I want to connect a normal comp as a film server what do you guys do.

I cant find a graphics card with HDMI out.

Any ideas anyone.

Cheers.

ok, didnt realise it was just a different plug. Which once again begs the question.

WHY.

HDMI can also carry digital audio signals. Which is pointless if all you want is video output from your graphics card.

DVI has been around for many years now. HDMI is newer.

HDMI and DVI use the same exact TMDS signal and are pin compatable. The idea is very similar to USB or scsi, many differant cables and connectors but the type of signal remains the same.
