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 o_gitalvideo and audio signal and displays a wvid picture on aTV
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
IfTV does not support HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital content protectlon}, 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 lin the DVD player) or an analog-to-digitaJ
converter (in the TV) is required. During this conversion, the picture quality is degraded due to noise and
signal loss. DVl technology is superior because t "equlres no D/A 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 wa
DVl 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.
