• 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 TV

 

having an HDMI input jack.

 

• HDMI connection description

Connections

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 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

• What is the HDCP?

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

When you press the HDMI SEL. button, 480p,576p, 720p, 768p and 1080i are selected in order. The first press of the HDMI SEL. button brings up the current resolution.

-If HDMI or HDMI-DVI cable is plugged into TV, the DVD player’s output is set to HDMI/DVI within 10 seconds.

-If you set the HDMI output resolution 720p or 1080i, HDMI output provides better picture quality.
