Sony DVP-NS9100ES, NS3100 manual Component-to-component communication

The options for audio are equally rich. The HDMI™ output of Sony® ES Series players can support a full range of digital audio, including 2-channel stereo PCM, Dolby® Digital and DTS® 5.1-channel compressed audio and even uncompressed multi-channel PCM audio! The DVP-NS9100ES incorporates the awesome capabilities of the Silicon Images Sil9030 Large Scale Integrated Circuit (LSI). Thanks to the Sil9030, the NS9100ES can output uncompressed digital images up to 1080i and uncompressed digital audio up to 192 kHz/2- channel or 96 kHz/8-channel!

With so many choices for video and audio output, you may wonder whether users will be knowledgeable enough to get the best performance from their systems. Is RGB preferable to Y/Cb/Cr? Is 720p better suited to their television or 1080i? While users will have their choice from a menu of options, HDMI technology offers a simpler way.

Component-to-component communication

A system called “product unique key exchange” enables connected equipment to automatically confirm the type of component connected through the HDMI cable. In addition, a destination component (such as Sony's STR- DA7100ES A/V receiver) can automatically "request" the appropriate audio and video, by listing its input capabilities. In this case, the ES Series DVD player can automatically choose the highest performance audio and video formats that the DVD player and the destination component both have in common!

Consider what happens when you connect a DVP-NS9100ES or NS3100ES to an HDMI equipped television. On first connection the two components exchange basic information—they "introduce themselves."
