HDMI Connections

About HDMI

HDMI (High Deﬁnition Multimedia Interface) is an ad-

vanced audio/video connection method that transfers

full-bandwidth, uncompressed digital audio and video

signals over a single cable.

As a result, pure digital signals can pass unfettered

from your HDMI-compatible source components to

the GTP-870HD and out to your digital TV for superior

picture and sound quality.

About the HDMI Scaler

The GTP-870HD is more than just a switch for HDMI

source components. The GTP-870HD comes with a

built-in scaler, a powerful video signal processor that

allows you to scale the 480i or 576i NTSC/PAL inputs

of your source components and output the precise

resolution for your display device up to 1080p.

That means you can run your legacy video sources

through the GTP-870HD to your HDMI display device

through a single cable. The powerful, integrated pro-

cessor deinterlaces and scales standard NTSC/PAL

signals to the native resolution of your display .

Tip

The HDMI connections pass

both audio and video signals

from your source device to your

output device; however, to use

the full audio processing power

of the GTP-870 we recommend

that you connect a separate

audio cable (analog or digital)

from your source device to the

appropriate input on the

GTP-870. See page 15 for analog

audio connections or page 18

for digital audio connections.
