content and carefree HDCP support

Blu-ray

interface.

HDMI & Audio Support on the ATI Radeon

To be compliant with Windows Vista® Premium logo requirements, a system with

enabled HDMI output must include two distinct audio sources – one main system

source and one for HDMI output. Like the ATI Radeon™ HD 2000 series, the ATI

Radeon

support for HDMI by including an HD-audio controller on the ASIC, creating a

protected audio path separate from the system's audio, compliant with Windows

Vista Premium requirements and without any additional connection or cable.

Combined with the ATI Radeon™ DVI-to-HDMI adapter, ATI Radeon

series and ATI Radeon

and audio support via standard DVI for easy connectivity and a superior HD

experience. Current DVI-to-HDMI connectors do not carry audio, thus do not enable

HDMI. ATI Radeon™ adapters handshake with the board to enable audio via the DVI

port; when the adapter is connected to the output of an ATI Radeon
