Red face Unsure of Ports - 1.3 HDMI + 1.4

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...

Cables are instead rated by their performance capabilities. There are five HDMI cable types to choose from:

Standard HDMI Cable - Designed to handle most home applications, the Standard HDMI Cable can reliably transmit 1080i or 720p video plus surround audio.

Standard HDMI Cable with Ethernet - Same baseline performance as the Standard HDMI Cable, plus a dedicated Ethernet channel for Internet connection sharing and device networking.

Standard Automotive HDMI Cable - Designed for internal cabling of motor vehicles equipped with onboard HD video systems.

High Speed HDMI Cable - Designed to handle video resolutions of 1080p and beyond, including advanced display technologies like 3D and 4K.

High Speed HDMI Cable with Ethernet - Same baseline performance as the High Speed HDMI cable, plus a dedicated Ethernet channel for Internet connection sharing and device networking.

Each of these cable types should be clearly marked with a distinctive logo, as shown below...

As for the connector size... no idea, sorry.

---------- Post added at 18:41 ---------- Previous post was at 18:07 ----------

Right, it seems there are two types of smaller connector:

Mini HDMI

Micro HDMI

From a quick Google of your camera's name it appears that it uses Micro HDMI.

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
