Ultimate entertainment with new HDMI cables from Sony

The all-new family of high-performance HDMI cables from Sony delivers the ultimate entertainment experience with sparkling Full HD video and sound. You’ll enjoy premium performance and reliability, whether you’re watching movies on Blu-ray Disc™, PlayStation®3 gaming or viewing 3D images captured with your digital camera on TV. They’re also the first cables by Sony to offer full compatibility with the latest features, allowing Ethernet connectivity via HDMI plus other advanced entertainment features.

Available in a range of lengths from 1m up to 10m, all new cables let you enjoy Full HD video and multi-channel digital surround sound from a single high-bandwidth cable. Cables are 3D-rated, letting you enjoy spectacular images from compatible sources on your 3D TV. High speed transfer performance also supports extended resolutions up to 4k – that’s four times the resolution of HD 1080 – as used in many state-of-the-art digital cinemas.

Premium performance with any signal source is further ensued by 24K gold plated connectors for extra durability. A new plug design makes it easy to distinguish between upper and lower faces of the connector body, assisting with fumble-free hook-ups.

Every cable offers full support for advanced features included in the latest HDMI features:

- HDMI Ethernet Channel (HEC): combines HD video, audio and high-speed data in a single cable. HEC simplifies networking between Internet-capable TVs and other devices with minimised cabling requirements

Note: Requires HEC-enabled TV and connected device

- Audio Return Channel (ARC): enables ‘upstream’ audio connections (e.g. from TV’s integrated tuner to A/V amplifier), thus simplifying cabling between TV and A/V system

Note: Requires ARC-enabled TV and connected device

- 3D: supports a wide range of standard 3D formats up to 1080p resolution

- Quad Full HD resolution, at 3840 x 2160: supports ultra-high resolution – as used in many 3D digital cinema systems

- Colour spaces: support for extended colour spaces allows reproduction of rich, lifelike colours when displaying images on TV from a digital camera

- New Mini (type C) connector (DLC-HEM**): allows direct connection between Handycam®, Cyber-shot™, α and Bloggie™ and TV or 3D TV
