HDMI Licensing, LLC, the agent that licenses the HDMI
Specification, today announced that the HDMI interface has been
honored with a Primetime Emmy® Engineering Award for engineering
excellence in the television community by the Television Academy.
The Engineering Emmy Award is given for developments and/or
standardization in engineering technologies which either represent
so extensive an improvement on existing methods or are so
innovative in nature that they have materially affected the
transmission, recording, or reception of television. The award will
be presented on January 8, 2015 at the 66th Annual Technology &
Engineering Emmy Awards at the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada,
during the 2015 International CES conference.
“To be recognized as one of the technology breakthroughs that
has had a significant effect on television engineering is an
immense honor for the HDMI organization,” said Steve Venuti,
president of HDMI Licensing, LLC. “What started out as a vision to
improve the consumer experience has become the de-facto worldwide
HD connectivity standard and a household name for exceptional
digital audio and video quality over a single cable.”
Supporting the world of digital content, the HDMI interface has
become the universally-implemented, standardized, digital
connection for consumer electronics devices. By combining
uncompressed high-definition video, multi-channel audio, and data
in a single digital interface, HDMI technology delivers
crystal-clear digital quality over a single cable. This development
dramatically simplified the consumer experience and has led to the
worldwide adoption of HDMI technology by consumers and
manufacturers alike.
Today, over 1,500 HDMI adopters have created over 4 billion
HDMI-enabled products that provide consumers with a superior
viewing experience, pixel-for-pixel video accuracy, and
audiophile-quality sound.
“The success of the HDMI Specification is based on its ability
to constantly evolve to meet the changing needs of the market place
with added functionality and new features,” said Arnold Brown,
chairman of the board of HDMI Forum, Inc. “Version 2.0 of the HDMI
Specification nearly doubled the bandwidth to 18Gbps to support new
features such as 4K@50/60 (2160p) and up to 32 audio channels, and
our technical working group is working to deliver additional key
technological advancements to further expand the ecosystem of
interoperable, HDMI-enabled products.”
