•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 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 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.
