HDMI Connections

About HDMI

HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) is an ad- vanced audio/video connection method that transfers full-bandwidth, uncompressed digital audio and video signals over a single cable.

As a result, pure digital signals can pass unfettered from your HDMI-compatible source components to the GTP-870HD and out to your digital TV for superior picture and sound quality.

About the HDMI Scaler

The GTP-870HD is more than just a switch for HDMI source components. The GTP-870HD comes with a built-in scaler, a powerful video signal processor that allows you to scale the 480i or 576i NTSC/PAL inputs of your source components and output the precise resolution for your display device up to 1080p.

That means you can run your legacy video sources through the GTP-870HD to your HDMI display device through a single cable. The powerful, integrated pro- cessor deinterlaces and scales standard NTSC/PAL signals to the native resolution of your display .

Tip

The HDMI connections pass both audio and video signals

from your source device to your

output device; however, to use

 

 

the full audio processing power

 

 

of the GTP-870 we recommend
