Gang:
I am investigating an emerging connector spec called HDMI (www.hdmi.org)
which is supposedly the "High Definition Multimedia Interface" slated to take
over where S-Video and DVI connectors leave off.
Obviously, there may be something of interst to Linux programmers regarding
writing new drivers, etc.
http://www.hdmi.org/faq/faq.asp
But by the verbiage in the FAQ portion of the page (and besides, just 'who'
is an "educated digital video consumer" **) it seems that the unstated point
behind NOT having to switch to "clumsy analog signals" (their words) is more
like trying to retain 'content control' all the way through to the picture
tube.
"...enabling new functionality..." Right.
