HDMI, or High Definition Multimedia Interface, is a digital AV interface that supports high resolution computer-video and HDTV as well as multiple channels of audio on a single cable. It is prevalent in flat-panel displays and projectors as well as DVD players, Blu-ray Disc players, and even some laptops and PC graphics... Read more
Most DVI input cables for computer monitors are two meters long just like the typical analog VGA input cable. In our world of systems design, two meters is too short. For AV digital interfaces to become commonplace, the norm will not be these simple, desktop hookups. Systems designers and integrators require long run distance... Read more
HD-SDI (high definition serial digital interface) and HDMI (high definition multimedia interface) version 1.3 are receiving considerable attention these days. "These days" really moved ahead rapidly now that I recall writing in this column on HD-SDI just one year ago. And, exactly two years ago the topic was DVI and HDMI... Read more
It seems that the popular concept of digital video among the masses arrived with the DVI connection to the computer monitor. Of course, the DV format for consumer video cameras arrived earlier, but for most it just didn't seem like digital video. Why? I think we've only recognized what digital video can be since the moment... Read more
Maintaining the original quality of an analog event is paramount in the television broadcast industry. This concern alone drove the development and adoption of the ubiquitous digital recording format referred to using various names: 4:2:2 Component Digital, CCIR 601, D1, or perhaps SDI (Serial Digital Interface). Why is... Read more
