Digital Content Protection) compatible set-top box, such as
Sony's SAT-HD200 HD receiver.
Additional digital connection is provided with the i.LINK
interface, where copyright protected high-definition content
may be transferred between the new televisions and certain
similarly equipped digital cable set-top boxes, as well as
compatible camcorders and video recorders.
