There are cables and adapters that convert between DVI and HDMI.
Yes I've heard that "type A HDMI is backward-compatible with the single-link Digital Visual Interface carrying digital video (DVI-D or DVI-I, but not DVI-A) ".
HDMI includes audio. Are we going to add audio out?
Make a combo sound card/video card. I'd think audio without dac wouldn't be that difficult. However I wouldn't recommend feature creep at this time.
I think HDMI requires HDCP? HDCP is optional on DVI.
So just say that you have dvi with some but not all of hdmi 1.3 features as a bonus. Plus does anyone know if monitors/tvs would refuse to display if you didn't encrypt? http://www.freedom-to-tinker.com/?p=1005 Making and Breaking HDCP Handshakes http://www.freedom-to-tinker.com/?p=1006 HDCP Could Have Been Better http://www.freedom-to-tinker.com/?p=1007 HDCP: Why So Weak? Plus it's already broken in theory. HDCP encryption exists only as a hook on which to hang lawsuits. The DMCA, if you are doing it to be compatible and not to break copyright protection, then it's fair game.
Seems like I read somewhere that HDMI allowed higher limits on something or other (resolution? color depth?) than DVI.
hdmi 1.3 added supports for 30-bit, 36-bit, and 48-bit xvYCC with Deep Color or over one billion colors, up from the 24-bit sRGB or YCbCr in previous versions.
Is there a standard/specification somewhere for how large the hole for connectors is supposed to be?
I would assume the standard gives pin out and size information. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDMI http://www.hdmi.org/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Visual_Interface http://www.ddwg.org/ Digital Display working group http://www.ddwg.org/lib/dvi_10.pdf -- http://dmoz.org/profiles/pollei.html http://sourceforge.net/users/stephen_pollei/ http://www.orkut.com/Profile.aspx?uid=2455954990164098214 http://stephen_pollei.home.comcast.net/ _______________________________________________ Open-graphics mailing list [email protected] http://lists.duskglow.com/mailman/listinfo/open-graphics List service provided by Duskglow Consulting, LLC (www.duskglow.com)
