YES
To watch in high definition, you must have an HD television with an HDMI connection. However, using the analog outputs from a Bluray player, any standard definition television can be used.
Yes. Blu-Ray players will only operate with a standard definition television using the analog outputs on the player. The outputs are standard definition of course, so the HD quality of the BluRay disc won't be seen.
A standard television can be used with high definition service. However, the person purchasing the service would be paying for something of which they are not receiving the benefit .
The definition of "standard algorithm" is that it is a mathematical method used to solve problems such as addition, substraction, division, and multiplication.
The answer starts with standard definition television because HD is based on the principles of standard definition. What follows is a greatly simplified description of both and a lot of detail has been left out, but the principles are accurately described. An image is broken down into many individual lines. Each line has hundreds of individual colors. Each line is broadcast one by one and when they reach a television, the lines are put together in order to create a complete image. Standard definition television is created using 480 lines or 576 lines. High definition uses 720 or 1080 lines. The way the images are delivered is much the same as standard definition but the way the colors are encoded provides a better color quality than conventional standard definition. High definition needs far more information to create an image than standard definition, about 5 times as much in fact. This means that all components that are used in high definition television need to operate at much higher frequencies to be able to handle the extra information. It is this higher frequency operation that is perhaps the biggest change between standard and high definition systems.
HDMI Stands For: High Definition Multimedia Interface
Yes it can. Blu-Ray players have analog outputs as well as an HDMI output. The analog outputs are standard definition and can be used with any standard definition television. To view the content in HD quality does need an HD television.
No, they don't. Bluray players are capable of playing HD video content which is better quality than standard definition video. However, a Bluray player used to reply a DVD in standard definition will not improve the resolution of the image. This is the case even when the player up-scales the image to an HD format.
Standard
Most Blueray high definition players have an analog output that delivers standard definition signals. If a high definition disc is played, the output will normally provide an SD version of the content. Using the analog output means that it is possible to use Blueray players on SD televisions. When an HD television is installed, the HDMI port can be used to obtain HD video. Before purchasing a Blueray player, check that it has an analog output and that it provides a down converted signal of HD material on the analog ports.
The standard flip camera has definition of 3.2 megapixels. A high end flip camera can have up to 8 megapixels.
Televisions that are a few years old are almost certain to be standard definition and will have analog inputs. If that is the case, HDMI cannot be used as it is a digital signal. The television will also not be able to handle high definition signals. The only likely option is to use the composite or standard definition output from the Bluray player. Although the HD quality won't be seen, at least this will offer a way to watch HD discs. Almost all Bluray players have a standard definition output but each model is lightly different so check the manual for each one.
