Unsure of Ports - 1.3 HDMI + 1.4
1 Attachment(s)
I have a Samsung MV800 Digital Camera, and I'm trying to connect it to my TV using the supplied lead, so I can view 3D Pictures, Taken from the Camera.
According to the Manual, It says I an connect it using an AV lead, however I cant view the Images in 3D, It's a similar issue that I had with my Sony. It also says in the manual I can connect the camera using a HDMI cable, but I dont have a cable that fits the "Camera End", It looks to me as though it's a Micro HD Connection. I have supplied pictures of the Camera End, Could someone verify which cable I would need? The Tech Specs for the Camera say HDMI 1.3, But All my Leads for 3D are 1.4 Cables. I dont want to buy a 1.3 Cable to view 3D images, only to be told I need 1.4, On the other hand, I Dont want to buy 1.4 and damage the camera. So to summarize... 1- What ports are displayed in the photo? 2- If it is a Micro HDMI Port Are there different types of Micro HDMI Or Will One Size Fit All? 3- Will buying a 1.4 HDMI damage the camera if the tech spec says 1.3? |
Re: Unsure of Ports - 1.3 HDMI + 1.4
You cannot damage your camera or any other bit of kit by using a "1.3" cable instead of "1.4" or vice versa.
And there is actually no such thing as a "1.3" or "1.4" HDMI cable anyway... HDMI v1.4 added an Ethernet Channel, Audio Return Channel, 4K resolution, and of course 3D. But that's the interface, not the cables... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDMI#Cables http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDMI#Version_comparison Both v1.3 and v1.4 have the same max. bandwidth, and both simply require a "High Speed"* HDMI cable to be able to handle 1080p or 3D. You'd only need a "High Speed with Ethernet"** cable if the devices at each end both need the Ethernet Channel. *[Often incorrectly marketed as "1.3"] **[Often incorrectly marketed as "1.4"] The official word on HDMI cables... http://www.hdmi.org/consumer/buying_guide.aspx Quote:

So, you have two options: 1) Buy an adaptor so you can use an existing HDMI cable, e.g. http://www.amazon.co.uk/PC-Trading-P...5548283&sr=8-2 2) Buy a new cable with a Micro connector on one end, e.g. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Premium-Micr...5548283&sr=8-3 |
