•HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface)

HDMI enables you to make a digital video and audio connection with a single cable.

Using HDMI, the DVD player transmits a digital video and audio signal which displays a vivid picture on a TV having an HDMI input jack.

•HDMI connection description

HDMI connector - Video and audio are transferred digitally without compression (LPCM or Bit Stream data).

-The player outputs a pure digital signal to the TV through an HDMI cable.

-If your 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 signal transmitted 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 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 HDCP?

HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) is a system for protecting DVD content output via HDMI/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 copies from being made.
