HDMI (High De
fi
nition Multimedia Interface)
HDMI is an interface to enable the digital
transmission of video and audio data with just
a single connector. Since HDMI is based on
DVI, it is completely compatible with DVI. The
only difference between HDMI and DVI is that
HDMI supports multi-channel audio. Using
HDMI, the HDD & DVD RECORDER transmits
a digital video and audio signal and displays a
vivid picture on a TV having an HDMI input
jack.
HDMI connection description
HDMI connector - Both uncompressed video
data and digital audio data (LPCM or Bit
Stream data).
- Though the HDD & DVD RECORDER uses a
HDMI cable (not supplied), the HDD & DVD
RECORDER 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 HDD
& DVD RECORDER) 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. HDMI technology is
superior because it requires no D/A conversion
and is a pure digital signal from the HDD &
DVD RECORDER to your TV.
What is the HDCP?
HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content
Protection) is a system for protecting DVD
content outputted via 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 copies from being made.
