HDMI Interface
HDMI Interface
HDMI is latest High-Definition Multimedia Interface, which is able to provide up
to 5Gb/s video transmitting bandwidth and also 8-channel high quality audio. Via
transmitting uncompressed digital data, HDMI is able to reduce signal
interference as transferring between digital and analog signal, seen and heard,
direct from the source. In addition, HDMI is compatible with HDCP
(High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection), which allowing playback of Blu-ray/
HD DVD and other protected contents.
High ESD protection for USB and LAN (USB3.0 only)
High ESD protection for USB and LAN (USB3.0 only)
GIGABYTE motherboards raise the bar in terms of protecting your system,
providing advanced electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection for both your
Ethernet LAN and USB ports, both common sources of ESD-related failures. Each
LAN and USB port is paired with a dedicated protection filter that can withstand
high electrostatic discharges, protecting your system from common electrical
surges and even direct lighting strikes.
One fuse per USB port (USB3.0 only)
One fuse per USB port (USB3.0 only)
On GIGABYTE motherboards each USB port has its own dedicated power fuse that
