    In the HDMI cable you have 8 cables (4 twisted pairs) that send image/sound data. The others are basically detecting that you turned on a device and perform a handshake to check that the HDCP encryption is established before sending image, so if you don't interrupt the connection you still have data but you cannot reestablish the connection without them. On the plug you also have 4 pins I think that are ground for the shielding. Although not explained in the video, it answered my question for what I was trying to do, nice video.

      I'm planing to cut all 8 wires and rejoined with soldering irons. Can still iy be ok to use? I buy very long HDMI cable about 5 meters, but now I have no longer need that range so I want to make it shorter than 2 meter and exceeded 8 cables can be used for my diy project

    HDMI is packed full of many options of data and control. It’s more than just a video cable or a way to hook up a monitor. There’s sometimes power, control for other equipment. You have enough to make the monitor work with all those wires cut, but HDMI does a lot more than the things you are testing for.

    Some of the wires are probably there to identify the display and It's specs. So after connecting and knowing what type of display it is, it doesn’t need them anymore until reconnected.

    You have a great channel, I found it today. HDMI is really just a data cable, it contains three serial data channels and a clock signal channel. Each of these is made up of a positive version of the signal and a negative version, these are compared when received and any common spikes of voltage are discarded. There is also an earth for each of these. If only a single channel is in use cutting a single wire will go unnoticed.
    I think the distortion is caused by some data loss on the clock signal or perhaps even a data channel.

  • @WormHole1000

    All cables, USB, HDMI, ANALOG VIDEO AND AUDIO, Ethernet use copper wire. what makes them different is how they constructed as a whole, shielding application and wire gauge and amount of wires in that cable. Thats it.

    My projector has two hdmi ports. One of them faulty and gives flickering pink pixels where there is supposed to be white. I wonder if it's something as simple as a loose connection. Whatever wire that shows green has a weak signal, so it only shows blue and red which when combined looks pink. The other hdmi port is fine.

    I thinks there's something like a digital synchronisation applied to the six or four wires including red blue green and yellow or purple wires whoes duty is to transmit colours as digital data i think is called TMDS or something unlike the rgb or vga cables that if for instance you cut red wire in that connection only the red colour disappears in the screen and in digital colour transmission disconnecting a single wire of any colour would mean a lack of a digital colour synchronisation in the receiver so it results in black screen after cutting one of those wires

      This is probably a joke, but just in case it's not... don't try it. Most bio networks aren't equipped to handle HDMI, and inputting signals your system doesn't recognize can be departmental. If you really want to do HDMI for some reason, I highly suggest speaking with your bionics professional and letting them do it.

So when I play games, I don't have to constantly remove the HDMI cable from my PC to plug the HDMI cable from my LCD, so it means I can watch both the LCD and the Monitor via my PC.

    Type A hdmi can tell you what the cable does in the manual, I'll do you a favor and type some things. pins numbered 1-19: (try not to get confused by the incoming wall of text which is listed in order the pins and what they do: TMDS Date 2+, Data 2 Shield, Data 2-, Data 1+, TMDS Data 1 Shield, blah blah blah, first 9 pins are Data Transfer and shielding components (1-9), (10-19 continued): clock connectors: clock+, clock-, clock shield... once you get to 17,18,19 it's very important just to not sever... cause well you need them, it's the ground, the voltage supply: 5V(50mA), then 19 lastly is the HotPlugDetection 1.3 and 1.4+, meaning you need 19 to connect things into a hotplug AKA always on (not entirely sure about that though), 18 = most important for power, 1-9 = important for data transfer. Also neat that you opened a cord and cut with something literally running, but next time you might not want to and just check a manual. No need to reply, take care.
