About HDMI
HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) supports
both video and audio on a single digital connection for
use with DVD Players, Set-Top Boxes, and other AV
devices. HDMI was developed to provide the technolo-
gies of HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protec-
tion). HDCP is used to protect digital content transmitted
and received.
HDMI has the capability to support standard, enhanced
or high-definition video plus standard to multi-channel
surround-sound audio, HDMI features include uncom-
pressed digital video, a bandwidth of up to 5 gigabytes
per second, one connector (instead of several cables and
connectors), and communication between the AV source
and AV devices such as DTVs.
This DVD player supports HDMI version 1.1.
