HDMI LICENSING, LLC RELEASES HDMI SPECIFICATION VERSION 1.4A

Latest Version Specifies Mandatory 3D Formats For Broadcast Content

SUNNYVALE, Calif., March 4, 2010 – HDMI Licensing, LLC, the agent responsible for licensing the High-Definition Multimedia Interface® (HDMI®) specification, today announced, on behalf of the HDMI Founders, the release of HDMI Specification Version 1.4a featuring key enhancements for 3D applications including the addition of mandatory 3D formats for broadcast content as well as the addition of the 3D format referred to as Top-and-Bottom. The complete HDMI Specification Version 1.4a, along with the 1.4a version of the Compliance Test Specification (CTS), is available to Adopters on the HDMI Adopter Extranet.

An extraction of the 3D portion of Specification Version 1.4a is available for public download on the HDMI Web site at http://www.hdmi.org. The purpose of the extraction document is to provide public access to the 3D portion of the HDMI Specification for those companies and organizations that are not HDMI Adopters but require access to this portion of the Specification.

"We published these latest enhancements to support the market need for broadcast 3D content," said Steve Venuti, president of HDMI Licensing, LLC. "When we launched 1.4 in June of 2009, we deferred the sel-ection of mandatory 3D format(s) for broadcast content until the market direction was more clearly defined. The market has spoken and the HDMI Consortium has listened and responded to accommodate those market needs."

The latest HDMI Specification adds key enhancements to support the market requirements for bringing broadcast 3D content into the home:

The addition of Top-and-Bottom to the Specification.
The addition of two mandatory formats for broadcast content:
Side-by-Side Horizontal
Top-and-Bottom
With the addition of these two mandatory formats, the HDMI Specification Version 1.4a provides a level of interoperability for devices designed to deliver 3D content over the HDMI connection. The mandatory 3D formats are:

3D Mandatory Formats

For movie content:
Frame Packing
1080p @ 23.98/24Hz
For game content:
Frame Packing
720p @ 50 or 59.94/60Hz
For broadcast content:
Side-by-Side Horizontal
1080i @ 50 or 59.94/60Hz
Top-and-Bottom
720p @ 50 or 59.94/60Hz
1080p @ 23.97/24Hz
Implementing the mandatory formats of the HDMI Specification facilitates interoperability among devices, allowing devices to speak a common 3D language when transmitting and receiving 3D content. The mandatory requirements for devices implementing 3D formats are:

Displays – must support all mandatory formats.
Sources – must support at least one mandatory format.
Repeaters - must be able to pass through all mandatory formats.
HDMI Adopters will have 90 days from the publication of the Specification Version 1.4a to build and sell products that are compliant with 1.4a as well as pass the CTS Version 1.4a. This also applies to legacy set-top boxes that may have upgraded to use Specification Version 1.4 signaling.

האם הרסיבר הוא בעצם Repeater? ואם כן, האם יש מצב שבעודכון קושחה נקבל תמיכה ב1.4A ברסיברים שלנו?
או שהוא "נתפס" כSource?
בקיצור, האם יש מצב שיהיה עדכוני קושחה בנוגע לרסיברים ופרוססורים, בעניין? או שיש שינוי כלשהו ברמת החומרה?
תודה.

gro111,

לפי הדרישות הרשומות מעלה נראה כי רסיבר מתקדם יוכל להעביר מידע 3D הלאה למקור. אם אתה שואל לגבי עדכוני מקורות ומסכים אז עדכוני קושחה לא יספיקו במקרה זה בגלל שמדובר בנוסף על חומרה (צ'יפ). עם זאת מקור כגון PS3 אשר מצוייד ב-HDMI גרסא 1.3 יוכל לאחר העדכון המיוחל להעביר תכני 3D ברזולוציה מקסימאלית של 1080i או 720p. תכני 3D ברזולוציה 1080P דורשים bandwidth רחב אשר רק גרסא 1.4 יכולה להכיל, כלומר, רק מסכים ונגנים בעלי חומרה HDMI 1.4 יוכלו לספק את החוויה המלאה.

gro111,

רסיבר זה REPEATER.

[frankym]

רגע אז LX90 של פיוניר יוכל להעביר 3D או שזו דורש שידרוג רסיבר?

[oferlaor]

frankym,

התשובה היא שאף אחד לא יודע.

[frankym]

כנראה שכולנו נצטרך לחכות לסוף השנה להיות חכמים יותר

[gro111]

תודה על האינפורמציה

[Huber]

לדעתי אף יצרן של רסיברים לא יתן עידכון - הרבה יותר משתלם להם שתרכשו רסיבר חדש.

[nils3373]

Huber,

לפי הבנתי את הכתוב רסיבר עם כניסות ויציאות HDMI 1.3 יוכל (בתקווה) להעביר תוכן 3D גם ללא עדכון. בכל מקרה לכשיגיעו הנגנים המתאימים, המסכים ועדכוני הקושחה ל-PS3 נדע סופית.

הסטנדרט נתן חופש למספר גדול של צורות העברה (top bottom, side by side)
מכאן שהסטנדרט דה-פאקטו הוא מה שיקבע - כלומר, צריך לחכות..

בינתיים, נראה לי שחלק משידורי BROADCAST של side by side על 1080i הם כאלו שיכולים לעבור גם על HDMI1.3

לדוגמא, השידורים שניתן לקלוט מלווין גם בישראל:
