The High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) is an all-digital audio/video interface capable of transmitting uncompressed streams. HDMI provides an interface between any compatible digital audio/video source, such as a set-top box, a DVD player, a PC, a video game system or an AV receiver and a compatible digital audio and/or video monitor, such as a digital television (DTV). HDMI supports any TV or PC video format, including standard, enhanced, or high-definition video, plus multi-channel digital audio on a single cable.
Phil Norris Director of Business Development for Retriever Software, Inc shares his story on how he utilizes the Mini-Cat in Movie Theaters.
"Retriever Software supplies Point-of-Sale software and hardware to Movie theatres throughoutNorth America. We recently developed signage software that reads the film schedule from the ticketing software and displays movie information on LCD screens in the Box Office area and above the Auditorium doors. The system displays the movie titles, ratings, and show times and updates in real time from the Point-of-Sale server. The software is loaded onto a Windows XP computer with multiple video outputs (up to 16 per computer) that usually resides in the theatre office."
