Digital television (DTT) is a telecommunication system for broadcasting and receiving moving pictures and sound by means of digital signals, in contrast to analogue signals used by analogue (traditional) TV. DTV uses digital modulation data, which is digitally compressed and requires decoding by a specially designed television set, or a standard receiver with a set-top box, or a PC fitted with a television card.

The HANNSpree has 2 (2 RGB) scarts and the type and number of Multimedia interfaces the HANNSnara uses is HDMI and 1.
