Is It Time To Reconsider Displayport?

摘要

The "war" between High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) and DisplayPort was short-lived. HDMI quickly and ubiquitously emerged as the champion of next-generation audio/video connec-tion interfaces, becoming a standard feature of modern televisions, media players, gaming consoles, and cameras. On a single cable, HDMI can support multichannel digital audio as well as any television or personal computer (PC) video format, whether it is standard, enhanced, or high definition. This flexibility spurred its swift global adoption, and HDMI looks poised to become an effective and widespread connection interface for years to come. In light of these developments, why are more than 180 computer and consumer electronics companies actively supporting DisplayPort, another audio/video interface standard? This roster of companies, including industry titans such as HP, Dell, Intel and AMD, has grown by more than 20% annually for the past four years.
