• DVI (Digital Visual Interface) DVI is an interface to enable the digital transmission of video signals between various digital devices. Using DVI, the DVD player transmits a digital video signal and displays a vivid picture on a TV having a DVI jack.

• Description of the DVI connection DVI-D connector : digital signal only. DVI-I connector : digital and analog signal.

• Though the player is using DVI-I connector, the output from a DVI-I is only a digital signal.

• If TV does not support HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital content protect), snow noise appears on the screen.

• Be careful that various connectors are similar to DVI connector, for example VESA PnD, VESA DFD and so on.

• Why we adopt DVI? Generally, with an analog TV, an analog video signal is input to VIDEO IN. However, when playing a DVD title the data transmitted to a TV is digital. Therefore either a digital-to- analog converter(in the dvd player) and an analog-to-digital converter (in the TV) is required. During this conversion, the picture quality is degraded due to noise and loss of signal. DVI technology requires no D/A conversion and DVI 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.
