I am guessing that i know the answer working backwards from a drawing on the wikipedia hdmi page but I'm having to guess and it is driving me crazy that there isn't a simple explanation of the two mating couplers. If I am inferring correctly from the wikipedia page then the standard seems to have metaphorically departed from the dvi standard in which the male connector is the one with male pins even though the male plug has a shield which goes around the female plug. hdmi of course doesn't have pins in the classic sense but wires carried on plastic molds. it appears that they may just have retreated to using the shield interface as defining male female. anyone whose goty any insight, i would appreciate.
You don't. This model doesn't have HDMI. It does have an old SCART connector if your equipment has that type of connector.

Probably. It depends on the connections available on the camcorder and on the TV.Newer camcorders have a "mini HDMI" connector that can connect to a TV's HDMI connector, but this requires a special HDMI cable.
Both the source and the TV have to have a HDMI connector. If they don't, use the S-connector. No S- connector? you will have to use the VIDEO connection on the TV.
No, the TV must have been made with the HDMI connector built in.
The PC will either have a full size or mini HDMI style of video output connector or maybe a DVI connector that can also be used with HDMI displays with a simple adapter cable.
You will have a much better display with the HDMI cable. You can order one at www.amazon.com.
The purpose of the HDMI connector is to connect your laptop computer or desktop to the TV so you can watch things from your computer on the TV. This can be used for movies, slideshows, and pictures.
To run HDMI through a wall, you can use an HDMI wall plate or an HDMI cable with a built-in wall connector. First, cut a hole in the wall where you want the HDMI cable to pass through. Then, connect one end of the HDMI cable to your source device and the other end to the wall plate or wall connector. Finally, secure the wall plate or connector in the wall and cover the hole with a wall plate cover. This will allow you to run HDMI through the wall for a clean and organized setup.
It allows you to connect component cables into a HDMI connector/cable on the tv set.
No. As you said, they are both outputs. Both are designed to send their signals to an external display. The only current HDMI- compatible connector on a computer that can be reconfigured as an input is the DisplayPort connector on the 27" iMac.
