Some experts suggest that this re-clocking
introduces more artefacts than the process of digital-to-analog-to-digital
conversion. And the quality of the processor in the DVD player doing the “up-
converting” is important here, if it’s not up to scratch that could have a negative
impact on picture quality.
Secondly, any equipment with HDMI (or DVI for that matter) connectors must
support an anti-piracy measure known as HDCP (High Bandwidth Digital Content
Protection). This takes the form of a code which is embedded into the digital video
signal when its sent from a content player, such as a DVD player, and must be de-
coded by the HDTV or HD projector. This puts additional pressure on the TV’s video
processor with no benefit to picture quality and so could, potentially, result in a
slight loss in picture quality.
Using component video connections means that no anti-piracy protection is
necessary.
None of this means that you should avoid HDMI.
