What type of connector is used to carry high-definition video, multi-channel digital audio, and control signals?

Speakon connector, used to connect amplifiers to speakers in temporary audio system setups
HDMI connector, used to carry high definition video, multi-channel digital audio, and control signals
DVI-D connector, used to transport only digital video signals
F type connector, used to carry audio and composite video signals

The correct answer is: HDMI connector, used to carry high definition video, multi-channel digital audio, and control signals

The HDMI connector is specifically designed to handle transmission of high-definition video and multi-channel digital audio, making it extremely versatile for modern audiovisual applications. This connector not only supports high-quality video formats, including 4K and 8K resolutions, but it also transmits multi-channel audio, such as surround sound formats. In addition to video and audio, HDMI can carry control signals, which means it can also facilitate commands like powering on/off devices or controlling playback through CEC (Consumer Electronics Control). This integration of features reduces the number of cables and connections needed, simplifying setup and operation for AV systems. The other options, while relevant in their contexts, do not support the same full range of functionalities as HDMI. For instance, the Speakon connector is best suited for audio connections, particularly in professional audio systems, but it does not carry video signals. The DVI-D connector is limited to transmitting digital video only, leaving out audio entirely. Similarly, the F type connector typically carries composite video and audio signals, but does not support the high-definition capabilities that HDMI does.
