HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface)

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.

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.
