    Input and output devices allow data to enter and leave a computer system. Input devices such as touch screens accept user input, while output devices like displays show processed results. Touch screens are both input and output devices, allowing interaction directly on the display screen through gestures. Multi-touch screens can recognize multiple simultaneous touch points to enable gestures like pinch-to-zoom. HDMI is a standard connector for transmitting digital video and audio between devices like computers, TVs and projectors.

    INPUT AND OUTPUT DEVICES

    Input and Output devices

     An input device sends data to a computer system


    for processing, and an output device reproduces or
    displays the results of that processing. Input
    devices only allow for input of data to a computer and
    output devices only display the output of data from
    another device.
     Most devices are only input devices or output devices,
    as they can only accept data input from a user or
    output data generated by a computer. However, some
    devices can accept input and display output, and they
    are called I/O devices (input/output devices).
    Touch screen
     A touch screen is an electronic display
    screen that is also an input device.
     A user interacts with the computer,
    tablet, smart- phone or touch-
    controlled appliance by using hand
    gestures and fingertip movements to
    tap pictures, moving elements or type
    words on the screen.
     The screens are and can be used or
    manipulated to be print sensitive
    using fingers or a stylus.
    Multi touch screen
     Multi-touch is a feature that allows a touch screen to
    recognize two or more points of simultaneous contact as
    a touch event.
     Touch events are commands. You can control a
    touchscreen by tapping its display interface with your
    fingers.
     Each of these touch commands is a touch event. With
    multi-touch, the touchscreen will be able to recognize
    two or more points of contact at the same time as a
    touch event.
    Example of multi touch screen
     Most smartphones and tablets have
    multi-touch screens.
     A common example is pinch-to-
    zoom. On a smartphone or tablet,
    you can pinch the interface to zoom
    in or zoom out.
     Since pinching is performed with
    two fingers at the same time, it’s
    considered a multi-touch command.
    Regardless, they all use two or more
    points of contact at the same time.
    Touch screens: Advantages
     Easy for inexperienced user to learn and operate
    with the help of touch of any one of the fingers.
     Saves lot of space and avoids external devices such
    as keyboard or mouse.
     Provides quick and efficient selection of menu
    options.
     Interface is very easy to maintain as no dirt gets
    accumulated.
     Easy to change the GUI on the touch screen
    interface with the help of software upgrades.
     Offers very high durability and reliability.
    Touch screens: Disadvantages
     Accuracy and precision depend on size
    of the icons. When icons are very small, it
    may be difficult to activate the same with the help
    of large fingers.
     Requires proximity of the user to operate. User must be
    within reach of the touch screen display.
     Hands and fingers often obscure the screen information
    while selecting the desired options.
     Battery operated touch screen devices consume more
    power.
     It is difficult to operate by visually impaired people. They
    can interact based on tactile or braille input.
     It is very sensitive interface and hence can also be
    activated due to stray touches.
    HDMI
     HDMI means High-Definition
    Multimedia Interface, a standard
    for simultaneously transmitting
    digital video and audio from a
    source, such as a computer or TV
    cable box, to a computer monitor,
    TV or projector.
     The HDMI ports are found either on
    the video card or motherboard on
    the back of the computer.
     It is important to note that not all
    computers and video cards have
    HDMI connectors.
    HDMI PORTS AT BACK OF TV
     You want your TV to have as
    many HDMI ports as the
    number of devices in your
    entertainment setup.
     Or as many devices as you
    plan to connect to your TV via
    HDMI.
     It is, however, recommended
    that you count the number of
    [probable] devices you could
    possibly want to connect to
    your TV in the future before
    you purchase the TV.
