CEA Publishes New DTV Interface Standard

The Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) has published a new digital television (DTV) Profile for Uncompressed High-Speed Digital Interfaces, the CEA-861-F. The move is important because it will offer a number of improvements, including support for Ultra HD and widescreen video formats, explained Brian Markwalter, senior VP of research and standards at the CEA, in a statement. The standard applies to a variety of DTV-related high-speed digital physical interfaces, including the High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI), Digital Visual Interface (DVI) 1.0, and Open LVDS Display Interface (LDI) specifications.
