• Why does Samsung use HDMI?
Analog TVs require an analog video/audio signal. However, when playing a DVD, the data transmit-
ted 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 conversion, the picture quality is degraded due
to noise and signal loss. DVI technology is superior 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 content outputted via
DVI/HDMI 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.
