Growth of High Definition Multimedia Interface

Digital visual interface (DVI) and high definition multimedia interface (HDMI) are both experiencing record growth, but the future is much brighter for HDMI, reports
In-Stat.

HDMI-enabled device shipments will grow 78 percent per year through 2010, while DVI will begin to decline in 2007. DVI and HDMI are both high-bandwidth digital interface specifications. DVI is aimed primarily at PCs and peripherals, while HDMI is aimed at the consumer electronics (CE) market.

HDMI has become the dominant digital interface in the CE market, first by being designed into digital televisions (DTVs), and recently gaining design wins in devices that connect to DTVs, including set top boxes, DVD players, A/V receivers and game consoles. HDMI is also gaining traction in the PC market among more media-centric notebook and desktop models.

In-Stat's study found the following:

- DisplayPort will succeed DVI & VGA in the PC market.

- Over 90 million DVI-enabled products shipped in 2005, more than in any previous year.

- Wireless connectivity is beginning to establish a presence in this segment, a trend that will intensify over the next two to four years.
