HDMI reclassification

HDMI cable manufacturers can no longer describe cables using a number HDMI 1.4, 1.3 or  any other version number or compliance test specification.

The changes that were announced a while ago came into effect last week (18th Nov 2010) and mean manufacturers must now remove all references to those numbers from their products and packaging and  no longer using them in promotion.

From now on, there are just five descriptions allowed, and these are mandatory on both cables and packaging:

- Standard HDMI Cable
- Standard HDMI Cable with Ethernet
- Standard Automotive HDMI Cable
- High Speed HDMI Cable
- High Speed HDMI Cable with Ethernet

The office line from the HDMI Licensing people says that 'In order to enforce the cable market and ensure that only compliant HDMI cables are sold in the market.´
