| Enjoy watching your HD videos and still images captured on your PowerShot camera, directly onto your HDTV by simply connecting with a Mini-HDMI Cable. The cable lets you experience HD footage with no analog degradation of image or audio in the signal, and displays up to 130 images at once. Select PowerShot models also support HDMI-CEC technology. You'll be able to control the playback of your images and videos on a CEC-enabled HDTV using the TV's remote control. (CEC - Consumer Electronic Control - is part of the HDMI specification, enabling components in a system to communicate with one another.) | ![]() |
