CONNECTING A HIGH-DEFINITION (HD) SOURCE USING HDMI CONNECTION

HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) supports both video and audio on a single digital connection
for use with DVD players, DT V, set-top boxes and other digital AV devices. HD MI was developed to provide

the technologies of High Bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) as well as Digital Visual Interface
(DVI) in one specification. HDCP is used to protect digital content transmitted and received by
DVI-compliant or HDMIcompliant displays.
HDMI has the capability to support standard, enhanced or high-definition video plus standard to
multi-channel surround-sound audio. HDMI features include uncompressed digital video, a bandwidth of
up to 2.2 gigabytes per second (with HDTV signals), one connector (instead of several cables and
connectors), and communication between the AV source and AV devices such as DTVs.
