HDMI 1.2 Introduced

HDMI, the replacement for DVI, is growing up. It’s now 1.2 and has some new teeth:

Features and modifications for HDMI 1.2 include:

  • Support for One Bit Audio format, such as SuperAudio CD’s DSD (Direct Stream Digital)
  • Changes to offer better support for current and future PCs with HDMI outputs, including:
    • Availability of the widely-used HDMI Type A connector for PC sources and displays with full support for PC video formats
    • Ability for PC sources to use their native RGB color-space while retaining the option to support the YCbCr CE color-space
    • Requirement for HDMI 1.2 and later displays to support future low-voltage (i.e., AC-coupled) sources, such as those based on PCI Express I/O technology
