  • The Future of Analog Component Video by Bill Paul, CEO of Neothings, Inc
    The Future of Analog Component Video By Bill Paul, CEO of Neothings, Inc. 2/11/2010 Introduction Currently there is a lot of talk on the street about component video. We are answering an increasing number of questions like, “I heard component video is going away at the end of the year”, or other variations. The truth, as it turns out, is not quite as exciting, but it also needs its fair share of being talked about. Since many of us have end customers that have video distribution systems already installed that depend on component video, and are currently designing systems based on component video, let’s dive into the facts behind the rumors. Blu-Ray and the AACS License Blu-Ray disc manufacturers are required to sign a license agreement called the Advanced Access Content System, or AACS. It can be found here: http://www.aacsla.com/ This is the license from the movie industry that requires Digital Rights Management (DRM), and defines what the Blu-Ray player is allowed to do. The interesting part is titled “Analog Sunset” “With the exception of Existing Models, any Licensed Player manufactured after December 31, 2010 shall limit analog video outputs for Decrypted AACS Content to SD Interlace Modes [composite video, s-video, 480i component video and 576i video] only.” So for new Blu-Ray players designed and manufactured in 2011 and beyond, must limit their analog outputs to 480i standard definition video. The license goes on to read: “No Licensed Player that passes Decrypted AACS Content to analog video outputs may be manufactured or sold by Adopter after December 31, 2013” So starting in 2014, new Blu-Ray players will in fact get rid of component video.

  • Alphaline HDMI Cable FAQ's
    Alphaline HDMI Cable FAQ’s What is the highest resolution the HDMI cable will support? Full HD 1080p Can I use the Alphaline HDMI cable with my 3D TV? Yes, the cable is Optimized for 3D TV What products can I use the Alphaline HDMI cable with? Blu-ray, DVD player, Gaming Consoles, Satellite/Cable Box, TV, A/V Receivers Will these HDMI cables support my HD TV? Yes, HDMI cables are the best cables to deliver a true HD experience. What are the advantages of HDMI over existing analog video interfaces such as composite, S-Video and component video? Quality: Because HDMI is a digital interface, it provides the best quality of the video since there are no loss analog to digital conversions as are required for all analog connections (such as component or S-video). The difference is especially noticeable at higher resolutions such as 1080p. Digital video will be sharper than component, and eliminates the softness and ghosting found with component. Small, high contrast details such as text bring this difference out the most. Ease-of-use: HDMI combines video and multi-channel audio into a single cable, eliminating the cost, complexity, and confusion of multiple cables currently used in A/V systems. This is particularly beneficial when equipment is being upgraded or added. Intelligence: HDMI supports two-way communication between the video source (such as a DVD player) and the DTV, enabling new functionality such as automatic configuration and one-touch play. By using HDMI, devices automatically deliver the most effective format (e.g 480p vs 720p, 16:9 vs 4:3) for the display that it is connected to - eliminating the need for the consumer to scroll through all the format options to guess what looks best.
