Izintambo ze-HDMI ziqukethe amapheya amaningi ezintambo ezisontekile ezivikelekile ezinomthwalo wemfanelo wokudlulisa amasignali evidiyo namakhondatha angawodwana wamandla, aphansi, nezinye iziteshi zokuxhumana zedivayisi enesivinini esiphansi.Izixhumi ze-HDMI zisetshenziselwa ukuqeda izintambo nokuxhuma amadivaysi asebenzayo.Lezi zixhumi ziyi-trapezoidal futhi zinama-indent emakhoneni amabili okuqondanisa okunembayo lapho zifakiwe, ezithi zifane nezixhumi ze-USB.Izinga le-HDMI lihlanganisa izinhlobo ezinhlanu ezihlukene zezixhumi (ngezansi kwesithombe ):

·Uhlobo A (olujwayelekile) : Lesi sixhumi sisebenzisa amaphinikhodi angu-19 namapheya amathathu ahlukene, sikala u-13.9 mm x 4.45 mm, futhi sinekhanda lesifazane elikhudlwana kancane.Lesi sixhumi sibuyela emuva ngogesi sihambisana ne-DVI-D.

·Uhlobo B (Uhlobo lwesixhumanisi esikabili) : Lesi sixhumi sisebenzisa amaphinikhodi angu-29 namapheya ayisithupha ahlukene futhi sikala 21.2mm x 4.45mm.Lolu hlobo lwesixhumi ludizayinelwe ukusebenza ngezibonisi zokucaca okuphezulu kakhulu, kodwa alukaze lusetshenziswe emikhiqizweni ngenxa yobukhulu baso.Isixhumi sibuyela emuva ngogesi sihambisana ne-DVI-D.

·Uhlobo C (Oluncane) : Luncane ngosayizi (10.42mm x 2.42mm) kunoHlobo A (oluvamile), kodwa olunezici ezifanayo nokucushwa kwamaphini angu-19.Lesi sixhumi sakhelwe amadivayisi aphathekayo.

·Uhlobo D (oluncane) : Usayizi ohlangene, 5.83mm x 2.20mm, 19 amaphini.Isixhumi sifana nesixhumi se-USB encane futhi yakhelwe amadivaysi amancane aphathwayo.

·Uhlobo E (izimoto) : Idizayinelwe ngepuleti lokukhiya ukuvimbela ukunqanyulwa ngenxa yokudlidliza kanye nendlu evikela umswakama futhi ingangenwa uthuli.Lesi sixhumi sihloselwe izinhlelo zokusebenza zezimoto futhi siyatholakala nasezinguqulweni zokudlulisa ukuze kuxhunywe imikhiqizo ye-A/V yabathengi.

Zonke lezi zinhlobo zokuxhuma zitholakala kuzo zombili izinguqulo zesilisa nesesifazane, zinikeza ukuguquguquka ukuze kuhlangatshezwane nezidingo ezihlukahlukene zokuxhuma.Lezi zixhumi zitholakala nge-engeli eqondile noma yesokudla, izikhombisi-ndlela ezivundlile noma eziqondile.Isixhumi sesifazane sivamise ukuhlanganiswa kumthombo wesignali kanye nedivayisi eyamukelayo.Ngaphezu kwalokho, ama-adaptha nama-couplers angasetshenziswa nganoma yisiphi isikhathi ngokuya ngokucushwa okuhlukene kokuxhuma.Kuzinhlelo zokusebenza ezindaweni ezidinga kakhulu, amamodeli ezixhumanisi ezimangelengele nawo ayatholakala ukuze kuqinisekiswe ukuqina nokuthembeka ezimeni ezinzima.
