CE 2006: Next Generation HDMI For PS3.

It was revealed on E3 2005, that the PS3 would be using HDMI interface for HD video output. On CES, Sony has told us more about it.

With the released of PS3, another important standard that needed to be pushed is the HDMI. The current HDMI is suffering from the limitations of the band range, makes the colors to be transferred in only 8bits. But on 3rd of January, the 7 companies that works with HDMI has announced the next generation of HDMI, which supports transferring each color with 16bits at most, in the first half of 2006.

“Processing under 16bits internally while outputting under 8bits is meaningless. Mach band’s defect is also present at the moment.” and “We hope to get 16bits. And 12bits is the bottom line. A next-generation HDMI with doubled band range is one of our strong hope.” said Ken Kutaragi.

Hmm… so when will the PS3 be released if the complete date of the new HDMI standard is even unknown? D’oh…
