There are four types of HDMI connectors. Type A and B are specified with the HDMI 1.0 definition. Type C refers to HDMI 1.3 specifications and Type D refers to HDMI 1.4 specifications.
A Mini HDMI connector or Type C, refers to the HDMI 1.3 specifications and configuration of 19 pins and 13.9 mm X 4.45 mm male plug connector. It’s like Type A connector, but its compacted into a smaller plug. The Type C Mini connector can be connected to a Type A connector using a Type A-to-Type C cable or Mini HDMI to HDMI Adapter.
Mini HDMI to HDMI connectors are the new high definition standard for connecting portable devices. It allows you to connect your high definition portable device to your standard HDMI equipped connectors found on most televisions and receivers today. The cables allow uncompressed high definition video and digital audio.
Please note that this type of connector is intended only for PORTABLE High Definition devices such as camcorders or cameras. If you are only looking to connect your cable/satellite box, dvd/Blu-ray players, game consoles, and/or receivers you will need a Type A HDMI cable.
Don’t get the Mini HDMI confused with Micro HDMI. Micro HDMI (Type D) has the 19 pins and is small like a micro USB plug, but this type of connector is intended only for smart phones or other mobile devices.
