Consumer Electronics Industry Embraces HDMI at CES Panasonic,
Pioneer, Samsung, Sharp, Thomson/RCA and Onkyo Among Manufacturers
Showcasing 70+ HDMI Products Featuring Silicon Image's PanelLink
Cinema Silicon LAS VEGAS, Jan. 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
Next-generation digital TVs, DVD players and set-top boxes have a
new look this year. Smaller than the size of a quarter, the
High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) connector has quickly
emerged as the premier all-digital audio and video interface for
consumer electronics products. More than 70 HDMI source and display
devices featuring Silicon Image's PanelLink Cinema(TM) technology
are being showcased at CES this week by a number of leading
manufacturers, including Panasonic, Pioneer, Samsung, Sharp,
Thomson/RCA and Onkyo. Silicon Image, a leader in multi-gigabit
semiconductor solutions for the secure transmission and storage of
rich digital media, is the first company to ship HDMI silicon
solutions in the marketplace. Meeting the industry's need for
secure digital content delivery, Silicon Image's HDMI-compliant
PanelLink Cinema transmitters and receivers feature High-bandwidth
Digital Content Protection (HDCP), enabling consumer electronics
devices to deliver premium content and the highest-quality,
all-digital audio and video viewing experience to consumers. HDCP
is supported by all links in the CE value chain, including
Hollywood studios, cable and satellite providers, and CE
manufacturers. "We're excited to see such a wide variety of HDMI
source and display products at CES, all enabled by our PanelLink
Cinema technology," said John LeMoncheck, Silicon Image vice
president, consumer electronics products. "HDMI is taking the CE
industry by storm. With our proven PanelLink Cinema solutions,
we're enabling the industry's rapid transition to HDMI and allowing
manufacturers to introduce more feature-rich HDMI products." The
following manufacturers are among the many companies showcasing
HDMI products at CES featuring Silicon Image's PanelLink Cinema
silicon: -- Panasonic -- 5 plasma TVs, 2 LCD TVs, 4 flat-screen
CRTs, 3 rear-projection TVs, 2 DLP projection TVs, 5
rear-projection TVs and 1 DVD player -- Pioneer -- 4 HD plasma TVs,
2 HD projection TVs, 2 HD plasma monitors and 1 DVD player --
Samsung -- 1 plasma TV, 8 DLP projection TVs, 3 CRT projection TVs
and 2 LCD TVs -- Sharp -- 11 LCD TVs -- Onkyo -- 1 A/V receiver and
1 DVD player -- Thomson -- Various projection HDTV Monitors and
HDTV Sets Thomson, the marketer of RCA and RCA Scenium HDTV
products, was the first to add secure digital interfaces to all of
its HDTV Monitors and HDTV Sets. All of Thomson's new 2004 HDTV
Sets and projection HDTV Monitors will feature the HDMI interface
with HDCP copy protection, including more than a dozen models that
will be marketed as Digital Cable Ready HDTV Sets. To support the
plethora of new HDMI products and promote connectivity between home
theater devices equipped with HDMI, Monster Cable is launching its
new HDMI cable line, providing consumers with a variety of lengths
and configurations to connect HDMI products to one another and to
backward-compatible DVI products. "With the increasing number of
high-definition video sources available, getting all the
connections right to take advantage of these technologies is a
major challenge to consumers," said Noel Lee, The Head Monster of
Monster Cable. "Being able to consolidate uncompressed digital
video and digital audio into one cable will make home theater
hook-up much easier. We are working in partnership with Silicon
Image to launch 50 new Monster HDMI connectivity products at CES
and will be demonstrating the benefits of HDMI in our South Hall
booth and Hilton suites." "The increasingly digital landscape for
home entertainment is causing a bandwidth crisis in digital CE
products," said Jack Gold, vice president, META Group. "Indeed,
without high-speed interconnections like HDMI, the feature-rich
digital media experiences that are now coming to market will not
provide the incremental improvements necessary to get consumers to
update their legacy equipment. We expect the availability of HDMI
to become a key criteria by which new age products are purchased
and deployed." Jim Sanduski, vice president of marketing for
Samsung, noted, "With its all-digital video and audio capability
and sleek, user-friendly connector, HDMI provides consumers with
optimal quality and ease-of-use. Samsung is incorporating HDMI on a
wide variety of source and display devices to provide consumers the
ultimate home theater connectivity solution." "HDMI is an important
standard for bringing the all-digital experience to consumer
households," said Ed Wolff, Sr. Manager, Vice President, Display
Group, Panasonic Consumer Electronics Company, which is a division
of Matsushita Electric Corporation of America, the principal North
American subsidiary of Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., LTD. "As
an HDMI founder, Panasonic is committed to leading the way with
HDMI-enabled devices, and Silicon Image was the only company to
provide the necessary technology that allowed us to design and ship
this season's digital products with HDMI in mind." "Our customers
have grown to expect not only high quality audio and video from
Onkyo but they also demand that our products be easy to connect and
use," said Don Milks, national product and marketing manager, Onkyo
USA. "We believe that the high-speed interconnectivity offered by
HDMI will address these needs now and going forward into the
foreseeable future and we are firmly committed to this technology."
