HDMI Licensing LLC Releases HDMI 1.2a Spec

HDMI Licensing LLC, the agent responsible for licensing the High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) specification, today announced the availability of the latest revision of the HDMI specification, version 1.2a.

With the release of HDMI 1.2a, CEC features and command sets and CEC compliance tests are now fully specified. In addition, the Founders have created version 1.2a of the HDMI Compliance Test Specification (CTS), which includes a CEC Supplement. HDMI CTS 1.2a has been updated for technical consistency with HDMI Specification 1.2a as well as to the recently released HDMI Specification 1.2.

Significantly, CTS 1.2a contains additional cable and connector testing and Authorized Testing Center (ATC) submission requirements. Specifically, under CTS 1.2a, the Adopter shall submit for testing to the ATC any new HDMI cable whose length exceeds previously tested cables.

Additionally, HDMI Licensing, LLC will maintain a list of approved connectors. For a device to pass CTS 1.2a testing at an ATC, all connectors on such device must appear on the approved connector list. To add a connector to this list, the vendor must submit to the ATC or HDMI Licensing, LLC full and passing testing results.

“HDMI 1.2a will help enable Adopters to build devices incorporating CEC functionality such as single button remote-control” said Leslie Chard, President of HDMI Licensing, LLC. “Additionally, the updated Compliance Test Specification shows the Founder’s commitment to ensuring that HDMI devices will correctly interoperate with one another.”

The HDMI 1.2a specification can be downloaded at no cost by visiting www.hdmi.org.
