HDMI 1.3 DOUBLES BANDWIDTH, DELIVERS BILLIONS OF COLORS FOR HDTVs

High-Definition Multimedia Interface Also Adds Newest Digital Audio Formats, Mini Connector and Lip Sync

SUNNYVALE, Calif., June 22, 2006

The seven HDMI Founder companies (Hitachi, Ltd., Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd. (Panasonic), Royal Philips Electronics, Silicon Image, Inc., Sony Corp., Thomson, Inc. and Toshiba Corp.) today released a major enhancement of the High-Definition Multimedia Interface™ (HDMI™) specification, the de facto standard digital interface for high definition consumer electronics.

HDMI 1.3 will enable the next generation of HDTVs, PCs and DVD players to transmit and display content in billions of colors with unprecedented vividness and accuracy.

The HDMI 1.3 specification more than doubles HDMI’s bandwidth and adds support for Deep Color technology , a broader color space, new digital audio formats , automatic audio/video synching capability (“lip sync”), and an optional smaller connector for use with personal photo and video devices. The update reflects the determination of the HDMI founders to ensure HDMI continues evolving ahead of future consumer demands.

The update arrives at a time of strong momentum for the HDMI standard. HDMI Licensing, LLC today announced that more than 400 makers of consumer electronics and PC products worldwide have adopted HDMI. Market researcher In-Stat expects 60 million devices featuring HDMI to ship in 2006.

“PLAYSTATION®3 will be the most advanced computer platform for enjoying a wide range of entertainment content, including the latest games and HD movies, in the home,” said Ken Kutaragi , president and group CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment, Inc. “By introducing the next-generation HDMI 1.3 technology, with its high speed and deep color capabilities, PS3 will push the boundaries of audiovisual quality to the next level of more natural and smoother expression on the latest large flat panel displays.”

"HDMI is an established cornerstone for the whole High Definition TV industry and Philips is extremely pleased to see such significant improvements for picture and sound quality with this new version,” said Johan van de Ven, CTO and Senior Vice President of Philips Consumer Electronics. “We look forward to continuing to work with other HDMI Founder companies to extend the scope of HDMI across new devices and applications, while remaining entirely committed to ensuring full backward compatibility with existing products."

With the adoption of Deep Color and the xvYCC color space, HDMI 1.3 removes the previous interface-related restrictions on color selection . The interface will no longer be a constraining pipe that forces all content to fit within a limited set of colors, unlike all previous video interfaces.

New HDMI 1.3 capabilities include:

Higher speed: HDMI 1.3 increases its single-link bandwidth from 165MHz (4.95 gigabits per second) to 340 MHz (10.2 Gbps) to support the demands of future high definition display devices, such as higher resolutions, Deep Color and high frame rates. In addition, built into the HDMI 1.3 specification is the technical foundation that will let future versions of HDMI reach significantly higher speeds.


Deep color: HDMI 1.3 supports 30-bit, 36-bit and 48-bit (RGB or YCbCr) color depths , up from the 24-bit depths in previous versions of the HDMI specification.

Lets HDTVs and other displays go from millions of colors to billions of colors

Eliminates on-screen color banding, for smooth tonal transitions and subtle gradations between colors

Enables increased contrast ratio

Can represent many times more shades of gray between black and white. At 30-bit pixel depth, four times more shades of gray would be the minimum, and the typical improvement would be eight times or more

Broader color space: HDMI 1.3 removes virtually all limits on color selection.

Next-generation “xvYCC” color space supports 1.8 times as many colors as existing HDTV signals

Lets HDTVs display colors more accurately

Enables displays with more natural and vivid colors

New mini connector: With small portable devices such as HD camcorders and still cameras demanding seamless connectivity to HDTVs, HDMI 1.3 offers a new, smaller form factor connector option.

Lip Sync : Because consumer electronics devices are using increasingly complex digital signal processing to enhance the clarity and detail of the content, synchronization of video and audio in user devices has become a greater challenge and could potentially require complex end-user adjustments. HDMI 1.3 incorporates an automatic audio/video synching capability that allows devices to perform this synchronization automatically with accuracy .

New lossless audio formats : In addition to HDMI’s current ability to support high-bandwidth uncompressed digital audio and currently-available compressed formats (such as Dolby® Digital and DTS), HDMI 1.3 adds additional support for new, lossless compressed digital audio formats Dolby® TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio™ .

Products implementing the new HDMI specification will continue to be backward compatible with earlier HDMI products.

“The dramatic increase in maximum speed achieved in HDMI 1.3 will enable HDMI to stay far ahead of the bandwidth demands of future high definition source and display devices,” said Leslie Chard, president of HDMI Licensing, LLC. “As the de facto standard digital interface for the high definition and consumer electronics markets, HDMI is implementing the most innovative technologies today to fulfill the demands of tomorrow’s consumers.”

¿Realmente aprovecharan esos colores para juegos?

¿Se aprovechara al menos para la reproducción de vídeo?
Espero que sea un estandar para los reproductores de video y consolas como a sido el euroconector en la actualidad.
esto que dice al final de la play: "PS3 empujará los límites de la
calidad audio-visual al nivel siguiente de una expresión más natural
y más lisa en las exhibiciones de panel plano grandes más últimas."
jej me da muy buen rollo [idea]
A mi esto me huele mal:

Aquí es donde vienen los problemas. Teóricamente la mejor de las versiones, pero la más problemática a día de hoy por diversas cuestiones comunes a todos aquellos que tengan intenciones de comprar un amplificador multicanal ahora con HDMI. El conector HDMI 1.3 no se ha terminado de gestar, es decir, aun no esta ni disponible si queremos adquirir algún dispositivo con dicha versión. Podría decirse que de forma oficial a finales de año será cuando empiecen a comercializarse todos los aparatos con HDMI y esta versión. Un detalle importante es que hoy día podemos todavía comprar pantallas de Plasma o cualquier aparato con HDMI 1.0, y las razones son que dependiendo del fabricante, optará por usar una versión u otra, indistintamente de que haya versiones nuevas disponibles.

Cuando antes mencionaba "los problemas", concretamente me refería a que si alguien hoy día dispone de un amplificador multicanal con puertos HDMI, al conectar la futura PlayStation 3, podría visualizar y escuchar los juegos en alta definición pero únicamente en Stereo, no en 5.1 o DTS. Otro ejemplo muy claro sería si por ejemplo queremos conectar un lector de SACD con HDMI 1.2 a un amplificador 1.0, evidentemente se escucharía, pero no en multicanal, si no únicamente en Stereo. Para ser 100% compatible necesitaría que ambos aparatos dispusieran un conector HDMI 1.2.

Así que o empiezan a mejorar esos problemillas o vamos a tenerlos...

Sabes que la PS3 sigue teniendo salida optica ¿no? (en ambos modelos). En cualquier caso eso seria un problema del amplificador no de la PS3.
