1.6.  Cables and Connectors

1.6.1.  A/V (Audio/Video) Cables

These cables provide the audio and video signals to your stereo and 
TV. The LaCinema Mini HD Bridge supports the following standards:

1. 

Composite video + stereo audio – This is the most standard 
video connection (yellow) as well as left (white) and right (red) 
stereo audio inputs.  If your TV only has a SCART connector, 
you can purchase a SCART-Composite adapter from your local 
retailer.

2. 

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) – This is the best 
audio/video method for connecting the LaCinema Mini HD 
Bridge to HDTVs.

3. 

Optical Audio (S/PDIF) (not included) – This connection allows 
you to connect your LaCinema Mini HD Bridge to a digital am-
plifier.

 

1.6.2.  USB Cable

USB is a serial input/output technology for connecting peripheral 
devices to a computer or to each other. Hi-Speed USB 2.0 is the 
latest implementation of this standard, and it provides the necessary 
bandwidth and data transfer rates to support high speed devices 
such as hard drives, CD/DVD drives and digital cameras.

Your LaCinema Mini HD Bridge is shipped with a Hi-Speed USB 
2.0 cable to be used to connect the product to a PC or Mac (this 
cable should be connected to the rear (device) port).  If you want 
to connect a USB peripheral (digital camera, USB drive, etc.) to the 
LaCinema Mini HD Bridge, use the USB cable that shipped with that 
product and connect it to the front (host) port.

The included (device) cable will also work when connected to a USB 
port, but drive performance will be limited to USB 1.1 transfer rates. 
To achieve Hi-Speed USB 2.0 data transfer rates you need to be 
connected to a Hi-Speed USB 2.0 host interface. Otherwise, transfer 
rates will be limited to USB 1.1 speeds.
