Abstract: Conventional HDMI optical cables are structured to be unable to normally transmit connection detection between HDMI transmission device and reception device, and unable to avoid a communication failure. Therefore, a phenomenon in which an image is distorted or does not appear occurs. By using an HDMI optical cable and an HDMI optical conversion device in which an electronic circuit switch having a device connection detection function, a voltage converter, a detection sensor, and a detection signal transmission-only wire are embedded in a connector and a cable, respectively, it becomes possible to stably perform connection detection and communication between HDMI transmission device and reception device, and show an image.
