HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface)
HDMI is an interface to enable the digital trans-
mission of video and audio data with just a sin-
gle connector.
Using HDMI, the DVD Recorder & VCR trans-
mits a digital video and audio signal and dis-
plays 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-band-
width Digital content protection), snow noise
appears on the screen.
Why does Samsung use HDMI?
Analog TVs require an analog video/audio sig-
nal. However, when playing a DVD, the data
transmitted to a TV is digital. Therefore either a
digital-to-analog converter (in the DVD
Recorder & VCR) or an analog-to-digital con-
verter (in the TV) is required. During this con-
version, the picture quality is degraded due to
noise and signal loss. DVI technology is superi-
or because it requires 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 con-
tent outputted via DVI from being copied. It pro-
vides 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.
