Arrow HDMI 1.3 and Cables Part 1: It's All in the Bitrate
With the advent of HDMI v1.3 and 1.3a, consumers are starting to really get confused about cables and what they need to worry about when selecting a product that's going to be compatible with the new specifications. We interviewed Steven Barlow from DVIGear to get a handle on why this is a more complex issue for some, and a non-issue for others. He allowed us to assimilate much of what we discussed into this article you are reading now.

Very interesting and informative, I wonder how much of the equipment out there touting 1080p and hdmi 1.3 is really capable of delivering.

Oh just wait until part 2 which goes into the rather unbelievable practices of one of the main companies behind HDMI. It will be absolutely eye-opening.

This would fit like a glove to a "Truth and Ethics in Advertising", I guess the government doesn't want to or care to get involved.

You mean like those TVs that say "1080p HDTV", but are actually 1080i and claims to "upconvert" to 1080p? I hate that.

I've seen that type of criticism a lot but the confusion lies in a misunderstanding on the part of consumers.

No HDTV is 1080i. All HDTVs are progressive scan. 1080i may be the highest resolution it can accept as an input but it will always scale whatever is input to its native resolution. So if this tv 'upconverts' to 1080p then it IS 1080p - its native resolution is 1920 x 1080p. It just cannot accept a native 1080p signal as an input.

All this almost makes me glad that I don't have any money to upgrade right now. Hopefully by the time I have money all of this will be worked out. I'm looking forward to an HD format that is problem free when I upgrade.

Wait so does this mean that because of the bandwith technically a 1.3 tv and player can offer a better image than a non 1.3 one?
