CONNECTING HDMI
HDMI (High Defi nition Multimedia Interface) supports both video and audio on a single digital

developed to provide the technologies of High Bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) as
well as Digital Visual Interface (DVI) in one specifi cation. HDCP is used to protect digital content
transmitted and received by DVI-compliant or HDMI-compliant displays.
