15. Video Formats • HDMI explicitly specifies a complete list of DTV Video formats • Defined in EIA/CEA-861B • SDTV (NTSC/PAL), EDTV & HDTV • Interlaced 480i to 1080i • Progressive 480p to 1080p • HDMI also allows any other video format • PC formats: VGA, SVGA, XGA…UXGA • Wide PC formats (common on Plasma monitors) • Any other VESA-defined or vendor-defined format

16. Audio Formats • HDMI supports a complete range of Audio formats • Compressed formats • Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital EX, DTS, DTS ES, … • Uncompressed audio • Up to 8 channels, up to 192kHz, up to 24 bits • DVD Audio and SACD supported • CD-quality audio is “base level” and will always be available on any audio-capable product • 2-channel, 16-bit at 32, 44.1 or 48 kHz

17. DVD : Widescreen Format 16:9 Display w/ no Intelligence 16:9 Display with Intelligence Audio & Video Format Intelligence • Source device receives the display’s supported audio/video formats • Sink device receives audio/video format info on every frame

18. HDMI Consumer Electronics Control • Allows user to control all HDMI devices with TV remote • Can control DVD player by pointing remote at the TV • Enables high-level functions such as “one-touch play” : Automatically…Turns on TV Press Play on DVD And then…Plays DVD Automatically…Turns on A/V Rcvr Automatically…Switches to correct input(from A/V Receiver) Automatically…Switches to correct input(from DVD player)

19. Feature Comparison

20. HDMI 1.2 Update • Released August 23, 2005 • Super Audio CD (One-Bit Audio) Added • PC Updates • Removed video format limitations on Type A connector usage • Relaxed YCbCr output requirement for RGB devices • Required Sink support for future AC-coupled Sources • CEC • Clarification on CEC electrical requirements • Other • Clarified exception for 640x480p (VGA) declaration in EDID • Loosened requirement to include certain DTDs in EDID
