I/O Ports are memory addresses used by the processor for direct communication with a device that has sent an interrupt signal to the processor. The exchange of commands or data between the processor and the device takes place through the I/O port address of the device, which is a hexadecimal number. No two devices can share the same I/O port. Many devices use multiple I/O port addresses, which are expressed as a range of hexadecimal numbers.

output is when E.G. lets say you have a laptop with a HDMI output (most laptops just have a output) on it ok. Well that means that you can plug in a HDMI cable to your laptop then to your Flat screen tv So you are outputting the picture and sound from your laptop to your tv. And input is not really common on laptop but some laptop do have them so anyway a inport HDMI port would mean that you could like plug in your PS3 and play it using your laptop screen. Ok so output is when you can output something like a hdmi port and inport is when you can plug like your ps3 into it
