The Digital Visual Interface (DVI) continues making its way into the Consumer Electronics (CE) market. However, according this market research report, DVI's successor, High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI), is expected to overtake DVI in CE products in the near future. Findings show that the PC market will continue to adopt DVI, and PC peripherals like business projectors and LCD monitors will continue with the interface as well. However, it is predicted that HDMI will overtake DVI in CE products such as digital televisions, set top boxes and DVD players.
In-Stat/MDR has also found that: PCs generally handle audio and video separately, so they cannot use HDMI without a product redesign, which is not expected. Among PC makers, Apple has been the leader in implementing DVI. Apple has included a native DVI port in all configurations of its Power Mac G4 desktop line, as well as in both configurations of its Titanium PowerBook G4 notebook model. Apple is moving ahead with its transition from CRT to flat panel displays. So it makes sense for it to be among the first PC manufacturers to embrace DVI, the leading digital connection from PC to LCD monitor. |
