•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 Micro Component System transmits a digital video and audio signal and displays a vivid picture on a TV having an HDMI input jack.
•HDMI connection descriptionHDMI connector - Supports video and digital audio data.
—HDMI outputs only a pure digital signal to the TV.
—If your TV does not support HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection), random noise appears on the screen.
•Why does Samsung use HDMI?Analogueue TV's require an Analogueue video/audio signal. However, when playing a DVD, the data transmitted to a TV is digital. Therefore either a digital-to-Analogueue converter (in the Micro Component System) or an Analogueue- 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 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.
