HDMI Update – 3D is Official!

A few months earlier the Blu-ray Association (BDA) announced their specifications for 3-D. Now HDMI Licensing, the company in charge of licensing the HDMI standard, announced that it’s working on an update to the current HDMI 1.4 specification to help with the standardization of 3-D. HDMI Licensing released the parts of the current specification that deals specifically with 3-D to the public, so that content producers and broadcasters can act in accordance with them when distributing future 3-D content.

It’s a major milestone on the path to bringing true 3-D into your home theater, supporting resolutions up to 1080p in 3-D. Steve Venuti, president of HDMI Licensing stated, “As the mainstream adoption of 3D is gaining momentum and content providers define and expand their 3-D roadmaps, HDMI is ready to support this major market development.”

All the ducks are in a row for 3D to really have a fighting chance as a new standard. I’ll keep you updated with all the latest!
