HDMI Connections
About HDMI
HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) is an ad-
vanced audio/video connection method that transfers
full-bandwidth, uncompressed digital audio and video
signals over a single cable.
As a result, pure digital signals can pass unfettered
from your HDMI-compatible source components to
the GTP-870HD and out to your digital TV for superior
picture and sound quality.
About the HDMI Scaler
The GTP-870HD is more than just a switch for HDMI
source components. The GTP-870HD comes with a
built-in scaler, a powerful video signal processor that
allows you to scale the 480i or 576i NTSC/PAL inputs
of your source components and output the precise
resolution for your display device up to 1080p.
That means you can run your legacy video sources
through the GTP-870HD to your HDMI display device
through a single cable. The powerful, integrated pro
-
cessor deinterlaces and scales standard NTSC/PAL
signals to the native resolution of your display .

Tip
The HDMI connections pass
both audio and video signals
from your source device to your
output device
; however, to use
the full audio processing power
of the GTP-870 we recommend
that you connect
a separate
audio cable (analog or digital)
from your source device to the
appropriate input on the
GTP-870. See page 15 for analog
audio connections or page 18
