Implementation Guidelines for Directly Attached Device

To meet the growing market need for new form factors within the HDMI ecosystem, HDMI Licensing, LLC has released a new “Implementation Guidelines for Directly Attached Device” to the HDMI Adopter Extranet. This document outlines implementation requirements for HDMI products which can connect to other HDMI devices directly without an HDMI cable (or with a short “Pig tail” cable). The implementation requirements described in this document allow Adopters to develop and manufacturer Direct Attached Devices within the framework of the existing 1.4b Specification, and to test these devices within the framework of the existing 1.4b CTS. This document specifies the following:

• Directly Attached Source
• Directly Attached Sink

A Directly Attached Device that is compliant with the requirements of these Guidelines can be considered a licensed HDMI end-user product with all rights and obligations specified in the HDMI Adopter Agreement. HDMI Licensing, LLC will enforce against those Direct Attach HDMI Devices that do not comply with these guidelines. You can find these Guidelines on the HDMI Adopter Extranet.
