Almost all HD outputs from receivers and DVD players are now HDMI based. The connector supports a standard high definition interface that is accepted internationally and is also compatible with DVI (the digital computer display interface). Other digital and analog HD interfaces are now almost unheard of within the domestic equipment market. Most HD players and receivers will have an analog output but it will be restricted to standard definition only. As well as the benefit of a standard interface, HDMI does one other thing that is less publicized: HD content can now be encoded to prevent the signal being extracted and copied. A system called HDCP protects the content and prevents pirating of HD discs or broadcast material. For this reason, there are no devices on general sale that will allow HDMI based signals to be converted to any other format. HDMI and HDCP licenses are granted on the basis that equipment is not produced that allows non encoded signals to be intercepted. If any device is seen that promises to defeat HDCP protection, then beware; the device is likely to be a fake but if it really does work, it may well be illegal to use in certain jurisdictions.
