• HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface)
HDMI is an interface that enables the digital transmission of video and audio data with just a single
connector.
Using HDMI, the Duo HD player 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 (LPCM or Bitstream).
- HDMI outputs only a pure digital signal to the TV.
- If your TV does not support HDCP (High-bandwidth DigitalContent Protection), random noise
appears on the screen.
• Why does Samsung use HDMI?
Analog TVs require an analog video/audio signal. However, when playing a BD/HD DVD/DVD,the
data ransmitted to a TV is digital. Therefore either a digital-to-analog converter (in the Duo HD player)
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 supedor 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 BD/HD DVD/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.
• What is Anynet+?
