High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) is a set of digital video standards that delivers multi-channel audio and uncompressed digital video for full HD 1080p visuals through through a single cable. Supporting HDCP copy protection such as HD DVD and Blu-ray Discs, HDMI provides you with the highest-quality home theater experience.

As power is a key determinant of audio quality, professional AV equipment usually separate power supply for different channels or analog/digital signals to ensure high sound quality. The M4A78-HTPC/RC is the first motherboard to be equipped with the revolutionary ASUS Absolute Pitch Hi-Fi technology, which utilizes audio components with an independent power connector. This effectively reduces electronic noise to ensure purer sound quality. Additionally, the gold-plated RCA stereo audio connectors are compatible with amplifiers without requiring additional connectors - making it simple to link PCs to home theater equipment.
