Abstract
A High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) system is provided. The HDMI system comprises a media channel, an HDMI source device and at least two HDMI sink devices. The HDMI source device comprises a communication module and a DDC controller. The communication module connects to the HDMI sink devices directly via the media channel for transmission of media contents. The DDC controller is used to process Extended Display Interface Data (EDID) of the HDMI sink devices. In an embodiment, the DDC controller determines a media format commonly supported by the HDMI sink devices based on the EDID of the HDMI sink devices, and the communication module uses the media format to provide the media contents.
