HDMI Spec Upgraded To Support 'Deep Color'

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the blush-in-high-fidelity dept.

writertype writes "If you own a digital television, there's a good chance it supports HDMI as an A/V interface. Well, for all you early adopters who bought an HDMI-less TV and regretted it later, the HDMI spec has been upgraded yet again, to version 1.3. Features include "deep color", or color depths beyond what the human eye can perceive, eight-channel audio support, among others. Interesting note: the PlayStation 3 supports deep color, according to the HDMI chief."

    Unfortunatly, due to unforseen copyright issues, all colors between Deep Green and Deep Violent will be subjected to a licencing fee.

    In fact many parents don't even let their children play violet video games, for fear that the games might adversely affect their children's minds.
