Connect to a TV with HDMI output
HDMI stands for High Definition Multimedia Interface. HDMI transfers digital audio and uncompressed digital
video on a single cable. As a result, audio cables and video cables don’t need to be connected separately to a
device. In addition, HDMI is compatible with HDCP (High Bandwidth Digital Content Protection).
