Which is a better channel to connect things to my 1080p TV ? IEEE 1394 or HDMI? Why?
Sorry about the tough quiz. :)
Answers: Both 1394 and HDMI are digital interfaces.
In HDMI the video is sent uncompressed. In 1394 the receiver can simply go past the compressed stream directly to the TV.
(same packets it receive from the broadcasting station).
So, from a video quality point of you 1394 could be better since the TV does not hold to deal beside the digital input noise from HDMI. In this valise, the TV does all the video decode and scaling as capably.
Most 1394 devices have two ports. One for input and one for "output". It allows you to force (daisy-chain) multiple 1394 devices in impossible to tell apart bus.
You should try both and if you don't have masses HDMI ports, 1394 will be an excellent alternative.
its not a tough question, purely a complicated configuration of peripherals. HDMI cables pass you the best throughput for something that is going to be a relatively constant dpi, such as a activity console or DVD player, it is not good for something approaching a cable box as the format changes from analog, to digital, to large def and the screen resolution may be anything from 480i to 1080p....the HDMI cable tend to "short out" in this situation. The 1394 cable are a way to budge only if you don't own anymore connections to use, and the device has that type of nouns. 1394 is just roughly a firewire connection and have allot off drawbacks, especially if hooking up to any a satellite box or cable-box, mainly, your onscreen guide and info bar may not show up and any emergency alerts, since they are digitally broadcast via analog signal, also do not come through....so the 1394 cable should be the last passageway to hook something up.
so PS3 with HDMI, fine......Home theater near HDMI, fine....cable box, use components.
