will HDMI 1:3 products work on a HDMI 1:1 television?

[seekinformation]

pretty much what the title says.

[Nic Rhodes]

yes to HDMI 1.1 'standards'.

Hello seekinformation

As Nic says yes you will get sound and video.

The various bits of HDMI equipped hardware in your signal chain will 'negotiate' with each other and will work with each other at the lowest common standard; so if you have an HDMI 1.1 compliant Input/Output socket somewhere in the signal chain then you will get HDMI 1.1 spec sound and video down the HDMI cables.

Best regards

thanks guys, so basically are you telling me that if the playstation 3 came out, and it did have a 1:3 HDMI, then it would work on my television which had a 1:1 HDMI?

Yes but any features that are only present (not many atm!) on HDMI 1.3 could not be used.
