New York — A “major national retailer” is notifying suppliers that it will require all HDMI-enabled products to go through Silicon Image’s “Simplay HD” testing program, or some other third-party certification process for compatibility and interoperability in order to qualify for its product mix in 2007, David Naranjo, Mitsubishi Digital Electronics America product development director, announced at a press conference for HDMI Licensing.
The move comes in reaction to the difficulty some consumers are experiencing in connecting HDMI and DVI products with other noncompliant HDMI or DVI devices. In many cases, non-complaint products are failing to complete a “handshake” — a process whereby products recognize and talk with one another in order to begin sending and receiving signals.
“Major retailers have made it a point that for next year they will be requiring manufacturers to have at the minimum Simplay HD certification to ensure those devices are, in fact, compatible,” Naranjo said. “There is one major retailer specifically that has said unless those devices have Simplay HD or something that identifies that device as being compatible with other [HDMI] devices, they will not assort that product. So they will not carry any HDMI product that does not have compatibility certification, whether it is through Simply HD or some other third party.”
Naranjo continued, “It is dominant in their mind to make sure consumers have the best experience, and when they connect different devices together, they must work.”
The Simplay HD Testing Program is run by Silicon Image’s Simplay Labs subsidiary to catch issues that can affect interoperability between systems before consumers experience problems. Products bearing the Simplay HD logo have undergone testing related to the High-Definition Multimedia InterfaceT (HDMIT) and High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) specifications, as well as compatibility testing with a suite of other devices that have been Simplay HD verified. More than 100 products are currently authorized to use the Simplay HD logo, Simplay Labs said.
Simplay Labs offers a list of some of the commercially-available Simplay HD verified products at www.--simplayhd.com.
Leslie Chard, HDMI Licensing president, said his organization has also taken steps to eliminate any non-compliance issues in the future.
“We released a new compliance test spec for HDMI v1.3 — called the 1.3a test spec — that requires HDCP testing for all devices. In the first quarter of next year, every device is going to have to go through HDCP testing in addition to the basic HDMI testing,” said Chard. “This is a test spec that has been reviewed and blessed by Intel subsidiary Digital CP.”
The HDCP system is a copy protection system required for use on HDMI and DVI digital video devices to prevent the illicit duplication of copyrighted material.
In addition, for HDMI cables, Chard said the licensing body also now offers “two categories of HDMI cable labeling — Category One and Category Two, with Category Two being high-speed that will allow manufacturers to communicate to their consumers that their cable is capable of delivering all of HDMI v1.3 functionality. A vast majority of existing cables will work with the full functionality of version 1.3.”
At the press conference, Chard declared HDMI the “de facto digital connection standard for consumer electronics products.” He said each version of the standard — including the latest 1.3 — was developed with forward-looking compatibility in mind and is always evolving. However, each version of the specification must be backward compatible with earlier versions of the specification — something that was not the case with some manufacturers' DVI-enabled products. HDMI was based on the DVI interface specification is compatible with compliant DVI devices equipped with HDCP content protection via an adapter.
HDMI v1.3 contains a list of enhanced features it will support, including more than double the bandwidth of the previous version, which will allow greater video resolutions and color depth as well as multiple compressed and uncompressed surround sound formats.
Meanwhile, some manufacturers and retailers have also expressed concerns that consumers will become confused over the HDMI version numbering system, and will assume that any product listed as carrying an HDMI v1.3 interface, for example, will automatically provide all of the different features supported in the HDMI v1.3 specifications, which is not always the case.
Chard pointed out that HDMI version 1.0 offered support for full 1,080p high-definition video when it was first introduced, but most TV manufacturers didn’t offer 1,080p input over HDMI until this year.
“HDMI specifies capabilities, not requirements,” Chard said. “Consumers should look for the features that they want, and manufacturers need to come up with some consistent branding for these features. This is not just a struggle for HDMI — it is something that we are seeing through the HD ecosystem right now.”
Chard said that HDMI v1.3 allows for over 10GBps of bandwidth supporting higher resolutions, deeper colors through use of the Sony/Mitsubishi developed xvYCC system, automatic lip sync and a range of compressed and uncompressed multichannel surround sound formats including Dolby Digital Plus and Dolby TruHD, with future support for up to 13.1 channels of surround sound.
The licensing body predicts that over 1 billion HDMI enabled devices will have shipped into the market by 2010.
On color depth, HDMI v1.3 uses xvYCC to expand from eight bits and 17 million colors under HDMI HD 1.2a to 16 bits allowing “billions if not trillions of colors,” Chard said.
Mitsubishi’s Naranjo said the first content carrying the extended xvYCC color capability will be video games. He said he expects studios to adopt the system for movie releases, as well, in the near future.
Meanwhile, Chard said the recent development of a new mini connector for HDMI will add to the format’s adoption in the portable products space, including camcorders, digital still cameras and even cellphones

纽约—一 "主要的国家零售商" 正在通知它将会需要所有的 HDMI 产品能够的穿过矽图像 "Simplay 高密度" 测试的计画供应者,或一些其他的第三者证明程序为兼容性和互通性为了要在 2007 年为它的产品取得资格混合,大卫 Naranjo 三菱数传电子学美国产品发展指导者,在一个记者会上为 HDMI 许可。
移动进来对一些消费者正在用其他的非顺从的 HDMI 或 DVI 装置连接 HDMI 和 DVI 产品方面经历的困难反应。 在许多情况,非诉苦产品正在没有完成产品而且和彼此说话的一个程序所为了要开始送而且接受信号的 "握手"—。
"主要的零售商已经使它成为点明年他们事实上将会需要要在要确定那些装置的最小 Simplay 高密度证明有的制造业者 , 是可并立的 ," Naranjo 说。 " 明确地有一主要的零售商以已经说除非那些装置有 Simplay 高密度或有点认明那一个装置当做与其他的 [HDMI] 装置相容,他们将不分类那一种产品。因此他们将不携带没有兼容性证明的任何 HDMI 产品,是否它是经过只是高密度或一些其他的第三者。”
继续的 Naranjo," 它是占优势的在要确定消费者的他们思想中有最好经验,而且当他们一起连接不同的装置时候,他们一定工作。”
尝试计画的 Simplay 高密度被矽图像的 Simplay 中心子公司管理捕捉议题以在消费者之前能影响在系统之间的互通性经验问题。生 Simplay 高密度图形的产品已经遭遇被讲到高分辨率多媒体 InterfaceT(HDMIT) 和高带宽数传满足的保护 (HDCP) 规格的测试,和尝试的兼容性和已经是 Simplay 高密度的其他装置的一组随员查证。 超过 100种产品现在被授权使用 Simplay 高密度图形,Simplay 中心说。
Simplay 中心提供一连串的一些那商业地- 可得的 Simplay 高密度查证了产品在www.simplayhd.com.
莱斯利可供食用之甜菜 , 许可董事长的 HDMI, 说他的组织也已经采取的步骤未来除去任何的非服从议题。
"我们为 HDMI v1 发表了一个新的服从测试投机。3 —呼叫了 1.3 需要为所有的装置 HDCP 测试的测试投机—。 在明年的第一季中,每个装置正在去必须穿过除了基本 HDMI 是测试的 HDCP 测试的,"可供食用之甜菜说。 " 这是一个测试投机以已经被检讨和受祝福的被英代尔子公司数传 CP。”
HDCP 系统是必需的对在 HDMI 和 DVI 数传上的使用电视的装置避免版权的材料不法的副本一个副本保护系统。
除此之外,为 HDMI 电缆,可供食用之甜菜也说了那个许可身体现在提议 "分类—种类一和种类二的 HDMI 电缆的二个种类, 藉由种类二高速将会允许制造业者对他们的消费者沟通他们的电缆能够递送所有的 HDMI v1。3个功能性。 已存在的电缆巨大的多数将会与 1.3 版的完全功能性合作。”
在记者会上,可供食用之甜菜宣布他所说的 HDMI"为消费性电子产品产品的 de 事实上数传连接标准 ." 包括最近的 1.3 —的标准—每个版本与思想的前瞻性的兼容性一起发展和总是进化。 然而,规格的每个版本一定是向后的与规格—的较早版本相容有点那不是和一些制造业者的 DVI 产品能够的情形。 HDMI 以 DVI 接口规格为基础是与经由一个适配器被装备 HDCP 内容保护的顺从 DVI 装置相容。
HDMI v1。3 包含它将会支援的一连串的可提高的特征, 包括超过加倍早先的版本带宽, 也将会允许被压缩的和不被压缩的包围健全的格式。
同时, 一些制造业者和零售商也已经表达消费者将会变成很困惑在 HDMI 版本上方数系统的关心, 和将会承担任何的产品当做搬运 HDMI v1 列出。3个接口, 举例来说,将会自动地提供所有的在 HDMI v1 被支援的不同特征。3件规格, 不总是情形。
当它被首先介绍的时候可供食用之甜菜指外面的那 HDMI 1.0 版为完整的 1,080 p 高分辨率录象机提供了支持,但是最大多数的电视制造业者不提供在 HDMI 上的 1,080 p 输入直到今年。
"HDMI 叙述能力而不是需求 ," 可供食用之甜菜说。" 消费者应该找寻他们的特征,而且制造业者来在由于一些一致的为这些特征打上烙印上面。这为 HDMI —不只是竞争我们正在立刻看穿高密度生态系统的人就是某物。”
可供食用之甜菜说 HDMI v1。3 考虑到在带宽的 10 GBps 上方支援较高的决议, 较深的颜色经过索尼公司/ 三菱的使用发展了 xvYCC 系统, 自动的唇使~同步和多种的压缩而且不压缩数传的多通话线路的周围声音包括杜比的格式加上和杜比 TruHD, 藉由周围的达到 13.1个频道的将来支持声音。
那个许可身体预知使装置能够的超过十亿 HDMI 将会已经 2010 之前进入市场之内装船运送。
在彩色深度, HDMI v1 上。要把从在 HDMI 高密度 1.2 下面的八一点点和一千七百万种颜色一扩张到允许 "十亿如果不颜色的百万平方一兆 ," 可供食用之甜菜的 16 一点点的 3 使用 xvYCC 说。
三菱的被说传达广大的 xvYCC 彩色能力的第一内容的 Naranjo 将会是电视游乐器。 他说他期待工作场所为电影释放采用系统,也,在不久的将来中。
同时,可供食用之甜菜说了新的迷你联编者的最近发展因为 HDMI 将会把到格式的采用加入手提式的产品空间, 包括手提摄像机,数传静止的照相机和平坦的行动电话
