Abstract
Summary
Digital visual interface (DVI) and sister technology high-definition
multimedia interface (HDMI) are both successful high-bandwidth digital
interface specifications. DVI-enabled shipments will reach 112 million in
2007, but are expected to decline thereafter due to the entry of the
DisplayPort standard in the PC segment.
HDMI is seeing continued success in 2007, particularly in the CE segment,
where it can be found in a vast majority of digital televisions, as well as
blue laser DVD players and recorders and HD camcorders. In addition, HDMI is
increasing its penetration of standard-definition DVD players and recorders,
set top boxes, game consoles, and A/V receivers.
Wireless is also entering the HDMI market via a number of companies that have
announced the ability to transmit HDMI signals wirelessly via Ultrawideband
(UWB) technology. These video over UWB solutions will begin to hit the market
in 2008.
This report contains analysis and annual worldwide forecasts for the
penetration of DVI and HDMI into 19 different applications in PCs, PC
peripherals, CE, and communications devices. Five-year average selling price
forecasts for discrete DVI and HDMI transmitters and receivers are provided.
Past history of penetration forecasts back to 2005 is also included, in
addition to brief profiles of major DVI and HDMI transmitter, receiver, and
switch suppliers.
