The HDMI connections (High Definition Multimedia
Interface) permit digital video and audio transmission
via a connection cable from a player/recorder. The
digital picture and sound data are transmitted without
data compression and therefore lose none of their
quality. Analogue/digital conversion is no longer
necessary in the connected devices, which also would
result in quality losses.
