User-friendly interface.

Literature Review.
In the book, HDMI Uncensored (2012) ,
author Jeff Boccaccio gave a brief
introduction of HDMI concept.
In the research paper, HDMI rolls on and
DVI wont die (2013), Mr. James Franklin
of Dublin Research Organization stated DVI
lacks the roadmap for further innovation as
that of later.
In the research paper, Entities of
HDMI(2015), Mr. Derrick Hodgeman stated
that HDMIs technology is specialized to be
