HDMI (High De nition Multimedia Interface)
HDMI is an interface that enables the digital transmission of video and audio data with just a single connector.
Using HDMI, the DVD Room Cinema 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 - Supports video and digital audio data.
- HDMI outputs only a pure digital signal to the TV.
- If your TV does not support HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection), random 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 DVD Room Cinema) 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
player to your TV.
What is the HDCP?
HDCP (High-band width 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.
