■ HDMI (High Definition 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 difference 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 hav-
ing anHDMI input jack.
■ HDMI connection description
HDMI connector - Both uncompressed video data and digi-
tal audio data (LPCM or Bit Stream data).
- Even though the DVD recorder records analog audio and
video, with HDMI the analog signal is converted to digital,
and a pure digital signal is sent 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?
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 Recorder) 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 conver-
sion 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.
