HDMI Releases Alternate Mode for USB Type-C Connector

摘要

HDMI Licensing, LLC has released the HDMT Alternate Mode (Alt Mode) developed by the HDMI Founders for the USB Type-C Specification. This will allow HDMI-enabled source devices to use a USB Type-C connector to directly connect to HD-MI-enabled displays, and deliver native HDMI signals over a simple cable without the need for cumbersome protocol and connector adapters or dongles. This paves way for two of the most popular solutions for connectivity to come together -the small form factor, reversible, and multi-purpose USB Type-C connector and HDMI. Almost 290 million HDMI-enabled display devices are expected to ship in 2016, including projectors, monitors and 100 percent of flat panel TVs.
