• 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 digital video and audio signal and displays a
vivid picture on a TVhaving 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-bandwidth Digital content protection), 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 trans-
mitted to a TV is digital. Therefore either a digital-to-analog converter (in the DVD player) or an
analog-to-digital converter (in the TV) is required. During this conver-sion, the picture quality is
degraded due to noise and signal loss. DVI technology is superior because it requires no D/A con-
version and is a pure digital sig-nal from the player to your TV.
