HD Audio/Video

What do you mean by HD audio? To me that is just a marketing term with no meaning at all. HD video has a definition. 

 
Can one use HD Video in Sonar ?
I didn't think Sonar supported it, only supporting:
              
-Windows Media (.wmv and .asf)         
-Video For Windows (.avi)          
-MPEG Video (.mpg)              
-QuickTime Video (.mov)
 
I don't use Video in Sonar myself and really don't know much about it but I didn't think either of these above formats supported HD

Sonar can play back HD video. That is video that has a resolution of 720 i or p and/or 1080 i or p.  HD audio is a term used by some without any meaning.

The concept of "HD Audio" isn't that much different.  Anything that was recorded above 44.1 16bit could be considered HD audio as it by nature has a higher resolution that what was considered "Standard" in digital audio recording. 
 
Video can still look terrible at 720P or 1080P (or i) and the same can hold true of audio recording above the standard.
 
(you also wouldn't define Audio Tape or Film in terms of resolution...we are talking about the digital realm here...so yes, HD audio is defined the same way, IMO). 
 
As for Sonar using HD Video, it can play some but not all, and the conversion output is less than ideal, IMO.

Where did you get that definition? Is that your opinion or do you have a source one can consult? I know that that the motherboard I have for my desktop has a sound chip that the maker calls HD.
 
 

It is a fairly commonly accepted understanding that anything above the CD standard of the last 30+ years which is music recorded at 44.1 16bit as the final output is considered HD...High Definition, since it is at a higher definition than that standard.
 
Yes, Intel has worked to coin the term http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/standards/high-definition-audio-specification.html
 
You can also look at the number of sites that offer "High Definition Audio" for download and you will find that they basically tout tracks that are generally above 44.1 16bit (or have that at the absolute starting point to high definition as MP3s diluted the gene pool. 
 
My logic is sound, anyway you want to look at it.

I could be grossly misunderstood but it appears you are confusing High resolution audio:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-resolution_audio
 
with High definition audio:

how this works
Unlike hi-fi systems, which can incorporate both analog and digital signals, high-definition audio focuses solely on digital media. It lets your computer act like an audio receiver and amplifier

No, I understand the difference.  
 
John mentioned the name as it relates to a chip in his computer and I was providing detail on what that is.  
 
High Resolution Audio is synonymous with HD Audio (which is basically just a term that is frequently used because of the HD Video boom).  Just like your article mentions HD radio, it is audio at a higher than "standard" FM Radio quality.  It is just a term so people understand it is supposed to be higher resolution than what was considered the standard.
