HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface)
HDMI is an interface that enables the digital transmission of video and audio data with just a single cable. Using HDMI, the DVD 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 consists of uncompressed video and digital audio data (LPCM or Bit Stream). - The player outputs only a pure digital signal to the TV through HDMI. - If TV does not support HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection), snow noise appears on the screen.
Why does Samsung use HDMI?
HDMI provides an interface between any compatible digital audio/video source, such as a set-top box, a DVD player, a PC, a video game system, or an AV receiver and a compatible digital audio and/or video monitor, such as a digital television (DTV). HDMI supports any TV or PC video format with digital high-definition pictures.
