• HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface)

 

 

HDMI is an interface to enable the digital transmission of video and audio data with just a single

 

connector.Using HDMI, the DVD player transmits a digital video and audio signal and displays a

 

vivid picture on a TVhaving an HDMI input jack.

 

• HDMI connection description HDMI connector

 

-

Both uncompressed video data and digital audio data (LPCM or Bit Stream data).- Though the

 

 

player uses a HDMI cable, the player outputs only a pure digital signal to the TV.

 

-

If TV does not support HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital content protection), snow noise appears

 

 

on the screen.

 

 

 

• Why does Samsung use HDMI?

 

 

Analog TVs require an analog video/audio signal. However, when playing a DVD, the data trans-

 

mitted to a TV is digital. Therefore either a digital-to-analog converter (in the DVD player) or an

 

analog-to-digital converter (in the TV) is required. During this conver-sion, the picture quality is

 

degraded due to noise and signal loss. DVI technology is superior because it requires no D/A con-

 

version and is a pure digital sig-nal from the player to your TV.

 

• What is the HDCP?

 

 

 

HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) is a system for protecting DVD content outputted via

 

DVI 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.
