•HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface)
HDMI is an interface that enables the digital transmission of video and audio data with just a single connector.
Using HDMI, the Blu-ray disc player transmits a digital video and audio signal and displays a vivid picture on a TV having an HDMI input jack.
•HDMI connection description
HDMI connector - Supports video and digital audio data (LPCM or Bit Stream).
-HDMI outputs only a pure digital signal to the TV.
-If TV does not support HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection), random noise appears on the screen.
•Why does Samsung use HDMI?
Analog TVs require an analog video/audio signal. However, when playing a BD/DVD, the data transmitted to a TV is digital. Therefore either a digital-to-analog converter (in the Blu-ray disc player) or an analog-to-digital converter (in the TV) is required. During this conversion, the picture quality is degraded due to noise and signal loss. HDMI technology is superior because it requires no D/A conversion and is a pure digital signal from the player to your TV.
•What is the HDCP?
HDCP (High-band width Digital Content Protection) is a system for protecting BD/DVD content outputted via HDMI from being copied. It provides a secure digital link between a video source (PC, DVD. etc) and a display device (TV, projector . etc). Content is encrypted at the source device to prevent unauthorized copies from being made.
