HDMI saturates HDTVs, moving onto PMPs, STBs, etc.

by Darren Murph posted Feb 9th 2009 at 11:01PM

We already heard late last year that HDMI adoption was on the rise, and now a new report from In-Stat asserts that the famed port is just about ready to take other areas of consumer electronics by storm. With HDMI adoption reaching nearly 100 percent in HDTVs, it's expected that 85 percent of IPTV set-top-boxes will have an HDMI port by 2012, while 10 percent of portable media players can say the same in just under three years. Also of note, HDMI-enabled product shipments are expected to increase overall at an annual rate of 23 percent up until 2012, while DVI-enabled shipments are forecast to decline at an annual rate of 30 percent through the same year. Ah, the unavoidable passing of the torch, so to speak.

I loved DVI though... a DVI-I out port was amazing because you could use an adapter for HDMI or VGA or component, or just use DVI.

DVI to Component?

Please show link...and even if you show a link for it I still don't think it supports HDCP.

There used to be a HDCP "stripper" and mabey that's what you are refering to, but I have never seen a DVI to Component adapter.

I like HDMI and its great that its becoming more popular. Unfortunately I now have more HDMI-capable devices than I do HDMI inputs.

It'd be nice if some of the A/V Receiver companies made an HDMI only box. The only thing I have that doesn't have HDMI is m launch day Xbox360. I don't need 3x component inputs and 50,000x svideo/composite anymore. It would have to reduce the costs for them too since its not doing anything to the video signal, just stripping out the audio and decoding that (which it already does). No need for analog video switchers and encoders (for HDMI conversion)
