About HDMI

HDMI is the first all digital consumer electronics A/V interface that supports several uncompressed standards, enhanced and high-definition video formats as well as all existing multichannel audio formats. One jack supports both video and audio information. The HDMI/HDCP*1 input can be connected to an EIA/CEA 861/861D*2 compliant consumer electronic device, such as a Set Top Box or DVD player equipped with a HDMI output connection. By inputting a High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) high-definition picture source to the HDMI terminal of this unit, high-definition pictures can be displayed on the screen in their digital form. The HDMI input terminal is not intended to be used with personal computers. This unit is compatible with 1080p, 1080i, 720p, 480p and 480i formats. Select the output of the connected device to match that of the unit.

*1 HDMI/HDCP = High-Definition Multimedia Interface / High-Bandwidth Digital Copy Protection.

*2 EIA/CEA-861/861D Profiles compliance covers profiles for transmission of uncompressed digital video including high bandwidth digital content protection.
