What is Driving the Future of AV? • CONTENT – Where does it come from? • User computers • Video playback devices • Cable feed • Blu-ray and DVD disc players • Video Teleconferencing CODECs • Cameras
Computer Evolution • PC Manufacturers (and Apple) want two things: • Lower cost • Small form factor • RGBHV is expensive and big • Manufacturers are moving towards DisplayPort / Mini DisplayPort
Video Playback Device Evolution • Content providers want one thing: control over their content • HDCP is the industry standard • HDCP requires a digital video format (i.e. HDMI, DVI, DP)
Say “Goodbye” to analog • Content providers have embraced HDCP and manufacturers have embraced DisplayPort and HDMI • Content provider support and set-top boxes • MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America) is petitioning the FCC to block movies from being transmitted via analog outputs • Feature support • 1080p and Deep Color are only supported by HDMI formats
