HDMI LICENSING, LLC ANNOUNCES FEATURES OF
THE UPCOMING HDMI SPECIFICATION VERSION 1.4 Enhancements
Include Networking, Audio Return Channel, 3D Capability, Improved
Performance and New Connectors SUNNYVALE, Calif., May 27, 2009 – HDMI
Licensing, LLC, the agent responsible for licensing the High-Definition
Multimedia Interface® (HDMI®) specification, today announced the
features that will be incorporated in the upcoming HDMI 1.4
specification. This latest version of the HDMI specification will, among
other advancements, offer networking capabilities with Ethernet
connectivity and will add an Audio Return Channel to enable upstream
audio connections via the HDMI cable. The HDMI specification 1.4 will be
available for download on the HDMI LLC website no later than June 30,
2009. The HDMI 1.4 specification will offer
the following enhanced functionalities: The HDMI 1.4 specification will add a
data channel to the HDMI cable and will enable high-speed bi-directional
communication. Connected devices that include this feature will be able
to send and receive data via 100 Mb/sec Ethernet, making them instantly
ready for any IP-based application. The HDMI Ethernet Channel will allow an
Internet-enabled HDMI device to share its Internet connection with
other HDMI devices without the need for a separate Ethernet cable. The
new feature will also provide the connection platform to allow
HDMI-enabled devices to share content between devices. The new specification will add an Audio
Return Channel that will reduce the number of cables required to
deliver audio upstream for processing and playback. In cases where HDTVs
are directly receiving audio and video content, this new Audio Return
Channel allows the HDTV to send the audio stream to the A/V receiver
over the HDMI cable, eliminating the need for an extra cable. The 1.4 version of the specification
will define common 3D formats and resolutions for HDMI-enabled devices.
The specification will standardize the input/output portion of the home
3D system and will specify up to dual-stream 1080p resolution. The new specification will enable HDMI
devices to support high-definition (HD) resolutions four times beyond
the resolution of 1080p. Support for 4K x 2K will allow the HDMI
interface to transmit content at the same resolution as many digital
theaters. Formats supported include: HDMI technology now supports color
spaces designed specifically for digital still cameras. By supporting
sYCC601, Adobe RGB and AdobeYCC601, HDMI-enabled display devices will be
capable of reproducing more accurate life-like colors when connected to
a digital still camera. The Micro HDMI Connector is a
significantly smaller 19-pin connector that supports up to 1080p
resolutions for portable devices. This new connector is approximately
50% smaller than the size of the existing HDMI Mini Connector. The Automotive Connection System is a
cabling specification designed to be used as the basis for in-vehicle HD
content distribution. The HDMI 1.4 specification will provide a
solution designed to meet the rigors and environmental issues commonly
found in automobiles, such as heat, vibration and noise. Using the
Automotive Connection System, automobile manufactures will now have a
viable solution for distributing HD content within the car. “The HDMI specification continues to
add functionality as the consumer electronics and PC industries build
products that enhance the consumer’s HD experience,” said Steve Venuti,
president of HDMI Licensing, LLC. “The 1.4 specification will support
some of the most exciting and powerful near-term innovations such as
Ethernet connectivity and 3D formats. Additionally we are going to
broaden our solution by providing a smaller connector for portable
devices and a connection system specified for automobiles, as we see
both more and different devices adopting the HDMI technology.“ Consumers will also see new HDMI cables
introduced to the market. In order to take advantage of the HDMI
Ethernet Channel, consumers will need to purchase either a Standard HDMI
cable with Ethernet, or a High Speed HDMI cable with Ethernet.
Consumers connecting an external device to an in-vehicle HDMI-enabled HD
system will need the new Automotive HDMI cable. Consumers can expect to
see new HDMI 1.4 cables introduced to the market when new HDMI 1.4
devices are available. Consumers will have a choice of the
following HDMI cables: The HDMI standard continues to grow in
the marketplace with now over 850 adopters worldwide. The growing
adoption of the HDMI specification by both consumer electronics and PC
manufacturers further strengthens its position as the worldwide standard
for high-definition digital connectivity. According to market research
firm In-Stat, over 394 million HDMI-enabled devices are expected to ship
in 2009, with an installed base of 1 billion devices. By the end of
2009 100% of digital televisions are expected to have at least one HDMI
input. The HDMI specification 1.4 will be
available for download at http://www.hdmi.org no later than June 30, 2009. Now don't you feel better knowing that
