HDMI: clarity, transfer faster, PC integration degree higher

With the HDMI technology is more than 300 manufacturers, applying to consumer electronics and PC products, it has become the mainstream products and become a worldwide standard for digital connection technology. January 11, 2006 — recently held in the United States Las Vegas Consumer Electronics Show, Hitachi, Panasonic, Philips, Sony, Thomson, Toshiba, and Silicon Image, seven research company jointly announced that HDMI will be launched in the first half of 2006, HDMI (high-definition media interface) for the latest important specifications, including high-definition support, high speed transmission and PC easier connection method. HDMI only need a line can transfer LCD Digital audio and video data, greatly simplifies the wire, so that consumers can experience high-quality home theater. Upcoming new specifications of performance include: 1, higher transmission speed: despite having to support all HDTV format file two times more bandwidth, but will also increase its HDMI-connection bandwidth to support future HD playback devices (such as more solutions, more clarity and a higher frame rate) technical requirements. 2, higher-definition: HDMI will support color depth reached 30/36/48bit, 10 million color display, show surprising and unprecedented clarity. 3, and PC/CE connection easier: HDMI and low voltage AC power PC picture control terminal connections will be much easier in this position as the standard digital HDMI multimedia interface, so that the PC and consumer electronics products to achieve the true meaning of integration. Recently, some have PC leading technology developers and development company, HDMI also supports HDMI and UDI (a HDMI-compatible PC monitor digital video interface) compatible. 4, mini-sized interface: in order to meet the growing number of small portable devices (such as high-definition digital camcorders and digital cameras) for seamless HDTV HDMI connection needs to be newly launched smaller interface. Because HDMI just one connection can achieve high-quality digital audio and video data transmission, these devices can also be achieved by reducing the number of connections "downsizing" of purpose. 5. audio/video sync transmission: in order to improve the clarity and accuracy of content, consumer electronics devices using increasingly complex high resolution audio and video data in digital signal processing system, therefore, user device video and audio data for synchronous transmission became a serious problem, it may require complex end-user control, HDMI is able to meet this need, not only sets various properties, make the device automatically completing these synchronous transmission, but also to ensure a higher degree of accuracy. 6, a new audio compression format: currently HDMI to support uncompressed high bandwidth audio and all currently available compressed formats (such as Dolby Digital and DTS), in addition, HDMI also will provide a new audio compression format (such as Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD) provides extra support. Implementation of the above new features HDMI products will still be able to and compatible with the original HDMI products. "In order to meet the needs of the digital market, HDMI has been constantly explore and innovate. "Leslie Chard, President of HDMI, said that" at present these new properties are being developed, they reflect HDMI constantly adapt to the market's development, especially in the increasing bandwidth demands and consumer electronics and PC devices increasingly closer integration efforts. "This news release allows HDMI consumer electronics high-definition interface's status as a de facto standard has been consolidated. In the consumer electronics show, HDMI also announced that the world has more than 300 consumer electronic manufacturers and PC products manufacturers use HDMI. According to market research company In-Stat statistics, 2005 HDMI device shipments up to 1700 million, is expected in 2006 will increase to 5900 million. Many major HDTV manufacturers in their latest products using HDMI connection. HDMI has also been applied to PC Media Player, DVD player, DVD recording devices, cable set top boxes, satellite TV set-top box and A/V receiver, planned for 2006 in the game and exertion of the camcorder. HDMI is rapid development throughout the world. In the TV total world China 1/3, 45 mainland enterprises to become a partner, HDMI and this number is rapidly growing. In November 2005, China's first HDMI test center in Shenzhen, greatly simplify and speed up the process of HDMI into China. In August, the cable satellite broadcasting Association of Asia (CASBAA) recommended to HDMI (DVI) and HDCP "applied to can output uncompressed high-definition content of set-top-box". European information and communications technology industry association (EICTA) in 2005 for all incidental "high definition" flag of high definition digital TV must be using HDMI or DVI input connector. Last year, HDMI also won the PC industry's particular attention. Including ATI, Hitachi, Intel, Nvidia, Sony and Toshiba PC related products such as production companies, research and development enterprises, HDMI is the industry leader. "Consumer electronics and PC manufacturers on HDMI products always favor also shows the enormous potential of this technology. "NVIDIA multimedia products manufacturer's General Manager Scott Vouri said," we believe that consumer electronics and PC interoperability, but also through the stable and secure standards technology browse high-definition content with confidence, that is why our NVIDIA products has been favored by HDMI. "The Walt Disney Company is responsible for the world media and technology business development Senior Vice President Bob Lambert said:" 2002 published the first version of HDMI, Disney began to cooperate with HDMI.HDMI is widely used in HDCP, in ordinary TV conversion to digital television in the process plays a crucial role in the global scope within 300 customers who is HDMI Union development an important milestone for our congratulations to them!
