Although I don't know what frame rate will be used in Blu-ray, I wonder very much if the Blu-ray players will be able to output 1080p@60fps. I have asked to Sony, they did not reply, then I asked to HDMI.org: same story. Many people claim that HDMI cannot carry 1080p at 60fps signal and since Blu-ray is going to be a HDMI compliant technology, there will not be Blu-ray discs with 1080p/60 content (unless there is an upgrade in HDMI). Any opinions or information?
Why can't HDMI carry 1080p @ 60 fps? I have seen swithch boxes that boast the ability to pass a UXGA (1600x1200) signal. I would think that one high qulaity HDMI cable should be able to carry at least a WUXGA (1920x1200) signal without problems. But I don't know for sure. I don't even think that the creators have a final spec for HDMI. Yet I think that is the point. It is suppose to grow as the industry needs it too. It wouldn't be the first up grade for the HDMI interface. Wikipedia (HDMI): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDMI Wikipedia (WUXGA): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WUXGA Ced
[bold] Quoted from http://ultimateavmag.com/news/041805Mits/ [/bold] there are many other websites that claim HDMI cannot carry 1080p/60. On the other hand, even if you find internet sources unreliable (which is something I do), you cannot find any official information to discredit that claim. If HDMI really was 1080p/60 capable I am sure that HDMI.org would have replied my e-mail asking if HDMI does carry 1080p/60 or not.
noob question, but how do you know if you have DVI or 'dual link' DVI. can you tell by looking? edit: reason i ask is coz i have a nice 27" LCD and I'm a bit worried that everybody is raving about HDMI, and my tv hasn't got it! It has DVI, d-sub, component and the rest, but no HDMI. I want to know if in the future I get something with HDMI out, (blue ray etc) will i be able to connect it to my tv?
That article doesn't make since. HDMI type B has more bandwith than Dual-Link DVI cable. HDMI.org HDMI.org Why wouldn't they support 1080p at 60 fps when HDMI has 5 Gbps of bandwith? Wikipedia HDMI DVI It would seem that HDMI type b would be just as capable as Dual-Link DVI. CNet http://reviews.cnet.com/4520-6449-6361600-1.html ??? Ced
Yes every major retailer sells them. You can get either an HDMI-DVI adapter or an HDMI-to DVI cable (or vise versa). The catch... DVI doesn't carry audio like HDMI does. So don't forget to run audio cables to your set! Ced
SCRAP THAT I FOUND THEM! was typing DIV, no wonder google wasn't furning anything up, DOH! you should all check this site out, it has everything you could ever dream of. http://www.ramelectronics.net/html/DVI_monitor_cables.html
I don't see that as a catch, I would hate my audio to be tied up in the same cable, It'll be going thru my av amp anyway. well thanks for clearing that up, i was starting to think my brand new tv was out of date already!
