About HDMI
Designed to meet the demands of digital TV, HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) is a new digital interface
standard for connecting TVs, projectors, DVD players, set-top boxes, and other video components. Until now, several
separate video and audio cables have been required to connect AV components. With HDMI, a single cable can carry
control signals, digital video, and up to eight channels of digital audio (2-channel PCM, multichannel digital audio, and
multichannel PCM).
The HDMI video stream (i.e., video signal) is compatible with DVI (Digital Visual Interface),
*1
so TVs and displays
with a DVI input can be connected by using an HDMI-to-DVI adapter cable. (This may not work with some TVs and
displays, resulting in no picture.)
The DTR-7.6 uses HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection), so only HDCP-compatible components can
display the picture.
Supported Audio Formats
• 2-channel linear PCM (32–192 kHz, 16/20/24 bit)
• Multichannel linear PCM (5.1 ch, 32–96 kHz, 16/20/24 bit)
• Bitstream (Dolby Digital, DTS)
Your DVD player must support HDMI Version 1.1.
About Copyright Protection
The DTR-7.6 supports HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection),
*2
a copy-protection system for digital
video signals. Other devices connected to the DTR-7.6 via HDMI must also support HDCP.
Commercially available HDMI cables (supplied with some components) should be used to connect the DTR-7.6’s
HDMI OUT to the HDMI input on your TV or projector.
*1 DVI (Digital Visual Interface): The digital display interface standard set by the DDWG *3 in 1999.
*2 HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection): The video encryption technology developed by Intel for HDMI/DVI. It’s designed to
protect video content and requires a HDCP-compatible device to display the encrypted video.
*3 DDWG (Digital Display Working Group): Lead by Intel, Compaq, Fujitsu, Hewlett Packard, IBM, NEC, and Silicon Image, this open
industry group’s objective is to address the industry's requirements for a digital connectivity specification for high-performance PCs and
digital displays.
