HDMI (High Defi 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
diff erence between HDMI and DVI is that HDMI
supports multi-channel audio.
Using HDMI, the 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 DVD recorder uses a HDMI cable,
the 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?
Analogue TVs require an analogue video/audio
signal.However, when playing a DVD, the data
transmitted to a TV is digital. Therefore either a
digital-to-analogue converter (in the DVD
Recorder) or an analogue-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 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.
