Bronze Member Username: Josh1005Norfolk, VA U.S.A Post Number: 11 Registered: Mar-07 | as of rightn now i am not using uncompressed PCM because the PS3 has capability but no reciever out there does not through HDMI, and my reciever has capability but the PS3 does not have separate audio chanels outputs. in order to have uncompressed PCM audio you have to have a Blu-ray or HD-dvd player cause they have audio chanel ouputs. and most high end recievers can translate it in that format just not HDMI 1.3 format |

Bronze Member Username: Josh1005Norfolk, VA U.S.A Post Number: 16 Registered: Mar-07 | well thats kind of a silly question now isnt it. no just playing with you. i buddy has 5.1 uncompressed through a samsung blu-ray player. i have 7.1 but dont have uncompressed capabilitys yet reason showed above |

Silver Member Username: TunasaladCalifornia US Post Number: 103 Registered: Dec-05 | Speaking of HDMI 1.3... Yesterday, I saw a HDMI cable that claimed to be 1.3 compatible. I know that the receivers and tvs aren't up to that point yet, but out of curiosity, is the cable legit? Thanks, Stefan |

Stefan: they do have HDMI 1.3 cables out but like you said there is not a reciever that will understand what it is saying, if you know what i mean |

I know that the receivers and tvs aren't up to that point yet, but out of curiosity, is the cable legit?" In June 2005, the HDMI organization announced the new HDMI 1.3 spec. Among other things, the 1.3 spec offers new color depths which require more bits per pixel. The HDMI press release states: "HDMI 1.3 increases its single-link bandwidth from 165MHz (4.95 gigabits per second) to 340 MHz (10.2 Gbps) to support the demands of future high definition display devices, such as higher resolutions, Deep Color and high frame rates." So, what did they do to enable the HDMI cable to convey this massive increase in bitrate? If your guess is "nothing whatsoever," you're right. The HDMI cable is still the same four shielded 100-ohm twisted pairs, still subject to the same technical and manufacturing limitations. And don't draw any consolation from those modest "bandwidth" requirements, stated in Megahertz; those numbers are the frequencies of the clock pulses, which run at 1/10 the rate of the data pairs, and why the HDMI people chose to call those the "bandwidth" requirements of the cable is anyone's guess. The only good news here is that the bitrates quoted are the summed bitrates of the three color channels -- so a twisted pair's potential bandwidth requirement has gone up "only" to 3.4 Gbps rather than 10.2. (That date should be 2006, not 2005.) http://www.bluejeanscable.com/articles/whats-the-matter-with-hdmi.htm Stefan, in the next couple years there's going to be a lot of money made from people paying way too much for "certified HDMI 1.3" cables. Back in the mid-eighties when CDs and CD players first came out all the speaker companies came out with "digital ready" speakers. It's all about marketing and the buyer's ignorance. |
