About HDMI
HDMI is an abbreviation of High-Definition Multimedia Interface, which is
an AV digital interface that can be connected to a TV or amplifier.
With the HDMI connection, high definition video and high quality audio
formats adopted by Blu-ray disc players (Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD,
DTS-HD, DTS-HD Master Audio) can be transmitted, which is not possible
with the analog video transmission.
Furthermore, in the HDMI connection, audio and video signals can
be transmitted through a single HDMI cable, while in conventional
connections it is necessary to provide audio and video cables separately
for connection between devices.
This allows you to simplify the wiring configuration that tends to be quite
complex in a home theater system.
This unit supports the following HDMI functions.
• Deep Color
An imaging technology supported by HDMI. Unlike RGB or YCbCr, which
uses 8 bits (256 shades) per color, it can use 10 bits (1024 shades), 12
bits (4096 shades), or 16 bits (65536 shades) to produce colors in higher
definition. Both devices linked via HDMI must support Deep Color.
