Why do we want to have products

equipped with HDMI?
1HDMI digital interconnect provides superior, uncompressed digital
video and audio quality for source-to-display transfer (thus, avoiding
needless conversions from digital to analog and back again as with
CVBS, S-Video or YPbPr connections.)
2 A single cable solution with user-friendly connector to replace the maze
of cabling behind the entertainment center as what we have now.
3 Integrated remote control for entire home theatre system equipped with
advanced control CEC.
4 TV and AV Receivers can adjust for best viewing experience (surround
sound and best aspect ratio) without consumer intervention.
With HDCP encryption, HDMI is able to transfer high-definition
content. HDMI-HDCP opens the floodgate of digital content from
major motion picture producers

What are HDCP and HDCP Licensing?

High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) is a technology
developed by Digital Content Protection, LLC (a subsidiary of Intel)
to protect digital entertainment content. HDCP has been
implemented across both DVI and HDMI interfaces. The HDCP
specification provides a cost-effective and transparent method for
transmitting and receiving the highest quality digital entertainment
content to DVI/HDMI-compliant digital displays
PERSONAL NOTES:

How to handle non-HDCP devices?

During Authentication and Key Exchange (first phase of HDCP protocol) initiated by
HDCP transmitter, a set of secret device keys is exchanged, to affirm HDCP receiver
(Sink) is authorized to receive HDCP content. If Sink is non-HDCP compliance,
authentication fails and protected content shall not be output.
Unprotected content, including diagnostic messages to the user, may still be sent to the
display in the event of failed authentication.

Are all HDMI devices are HDCP

compliance?
Unfortunately, HDMI devices do not by default are HDCP
compliance.
In HDMI spec, content protection capability is only a
recommendation.
While the HDMI specification supports HDCP, HDCP is not a
requirement and is not currently tested by HDMI Authorized
Testing Centers as part of the HDMI Compliance Test
Specification.

Video
HDMI allows a wide variety of explicitly defined video
format timings to be transmitted and displayed.
These video format timings define the pixel and line counts
and timing, synchronization pulse position and duration,
and whether the format is interlaced or progressive.
The video pixels carried across the link shall be in one of
three different pixel encodings:
RGB 4:4:4,
YCBCR 4:4:4
YCBCR 4:2:2.

What is the maximum cable length to be

supported?
In order to allow cable manufacturers to improve their products
through the use of new technologies, HDMI specifies the
required performance of a cable (at 700pF capacitive load) but
does not specify a maximum cable length, as long the cable is
HDMI compliance.
Remark:
Because of the higher bitrate in the HDMI 1.3 version, streaming
High Definition video will require higher spec cable.

Is HDMI compatible with DVI

All HDMI Sources shall be
compatible with DVI 1.0
compliant sink devices (i.e.
monitors or displays.) through
the use of a passive cable
converter. Likewise, all HDMI
Sinks shall be compatible with
DVI 1.0 compliant sources (i.e.
systems or hosts.) through the
use of a similar cable converter.
