Connections CONNECTIONS • 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 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, A/D conversion and is a pure digital signal 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 copies from being made. ENG-17
