HDMI

HDMI Port

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is provided
for transmitting uncompressed digital-audio and video
signals from DVD players, set-top boxes, and other audio-
visual sources to television sets, projectors, and other video
displays. It can carry high quality multi-channel audio data
and all-standard, high-definition consumer electronics
video formats. HDMI display devices utilize transition
minimized differential signaling (TMDS) to carry audio-
visual information through the same HDMI cable.

USB Port (3.0)

The USB (Universal Serial Bus) port is compatible with USB 3.0,
2.0, or USB 1.1 devices such as keyboards, pointing devices,
cameras, hard disk drives, printers, and scanners connected in
a series up to 4.8Gbits/sec (USB 3.0), 480Mbits/sec (USB 2.0),
and 12Mbits/sec (USB 1.1).

USB allows many devices to run simultaneously on a single
computer, with some peripherals acting as additional plug-in
sites or hubs. USB supports hot-swapping of devices so that
most peripherals can be connected or disconnected without
restarting the computer.

This port also supports USB Charger+ function that helps
charge the connected USB device even when the Notebook
PC is powered off. Refer to the later section for details.

Microphone Input Jack

The mono microphone jack (1/8 inch) can be used to
connect an external microphone or output signals from
audio devices. Using this jack automatically disables the
built-in microphone. Use this feature for video conferencing,
voice narrations, or simple audio recordings.
