HDMI 1.3 Latest HDMI revision...........................................
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On June 22, a consortium of seven
consumer electronics companies ratified an update to
the High Definition Multimedia Interface standard for
the connection of high definition devices.
HDMI
technology is now in its fourth revision.
Version 1 offered a maximum capability of 1080p60 resolution
and 24bit RGB colour with 8 channels of uncompressed
audio at 192kHz -
Version 1.1 added support for DVD-Audio
Version 1.2 added support for SACD and low power output
computer monitors.
Version 1.2a added enhanced consumer functionality with
the "one touch play" ability to control all
machines from any device. It also increased cable lengths
and, after some connectors started fallng out, the robustness
of the connector was improved.
Version 1.3 doubles the bandwidth from 4.95Gbps (165MHz)
to 10.2Gbps (340MHz) – and still offers the capability
of dual link connections. It also offers the ability
to support 1440p (WQXGA – 1440x2560) which is
the next step up from 1080p and also offers refresh
rates up to 120Hz.
HDMI1.3
also adds support for “Deep Colour” which
enables 30/36/48bit colour depth. Screens supporting
Deep Colour are likely to appear next year;
For
audio, HDMI 1.3 adds support for Dolby True HD and DTS
HD, both uncompressed multi track master audio formats.
It also offers a function called "Automatic Lip
Sync Timing Compensation" which knows how long
each element of device takes to process the audio and
video and so can automatically add the appropriate amount
of delay to the audio so that there is perfect lip sync.
The final addition provided by 1.3 is a smaller format
plug and socket for use with camcorders, digital still
cameras and other portable devices.
Due to its smaller size it is likely to appear more
and more on Desktop PCs, Laptops and even palmtops and
other mobile devices.
