• DVI (Digital Visual Interface)
DVI is an interface to enable the digital transmission of video signals between various digital devices.
Using DVI, the DVD player transmits a digital video signal and displays a vivid picture on a TV having
a DVI jack.
• Description of the DVI connection
DVI-D connector : digital signal only.
DVI-I connector : digital and analog signal.
• Though the player is using DVI-I connector, the output from a DVI-I is only a digital signal.
• If TV does not support HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital content protect), snow noise appears
on the screen.
• Be careful that various connectors are similar to DVI connector, for example VESA PnD, VESA DFD
and so on.
• Why we adopt DVI?
Generally, with an analog TV, an analog video signal is input to VIDEO IN.
However, when playing a DVD title the data transmitted to a TV is digital. Therefore either a digital-to-
analog converter(in the dvd player) and an analog-to-digital converter (in the TV) is required. During
this conversion, the picture quality is degraded due to noise and loss of signal.
DVI technology requires no D/A conversion and DVI 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 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
copies from being made.
