Media Technology Today

• The world is moving to High Definition • Premium HD content will not be available over

analog outputs• Professional systems will need to handle

encrypted content• HDMI is the medium of choice

– DisplayPort is quickly gaining momentum

Crestron and HDMI• Early adopter of HDMI technology –

over 5 years ago

• Shipping HDMI products for 3+ years– DVPHD Multi-Image Video Processor

– AMS HD Surround Processor

– AMS-AIP HD Surround Processor

with Image Processing

Top 10 Professional System Challenges

1. Cable installation (infrastructure)

2. Seamless support for analog and digital

3. HDCP (High Definition Content Protection)

4. Slow switching5. Managing resolution

and format (EDID)(Extended Display Id

Data)

6. Managing audio

7. Managing consumer electronics control (CEC)

8. Distance limitation

9. Expandability

10.Testing and troubleshooting

• Say “goodbye” to analog• Content providers have embraced HDCP and

manufacturers have embraced DisplayPort and HDMI– Content provider support and set-top boxes– SkyHD, a popular European satellite service, is already

shipping HDMI-only 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

New Content Requires HDCP

HDMI Distance and Cable Limitations

• HDMI signals degrade quickly - distance limitations become an issue

HDMI connectors can’t be easily field terminated» Difficult to run through walls
