 Next-gen display standard emerges for PC, HDTVs


Final spec expected in second quarter of 2006.


Small excerpt:


"UDI will be also be compatible with HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface), the standard digital interface for High Definition TVs (HDTVs) and advanced CE displays.

...

UDI will be able to use High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) technology widely deployed in HDMI-compatible products today. As a result, host platforms with UDI connectors will be able to plug into monitors and HDMI-equipped display devices including HDTVs with full content-use rights management and high-definition video compatibility."

Ah, I see someone beat me to this. I'm thinking this is the "connector" you're going to want to have on your monitor and video cards if you want to use Windows Vista for high-def protected material.


What do folks out there know? Is this the future connector for PC monitors and HDTVs (which may blend more and more).
