Important Note
• 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 TV
having a HDMI jack.
• Description of the HDMI connection
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 transmitted 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
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.
