How long untill we see processors with HDMI 1.3 switching?

[Race Car Driver]

Anyone care to guess?

Race Car Driver,

Good question

Silicon Image expects “a number” of HDMI 1.3-equipped products to appear at January’s CES, many of which will ship in the first quarter. They will include AV receivers, high-definition flat-panel and rear-projection TVs, and DVD players, most likely high-definition disc players, the company said.

Pioneer previously said HDMI 1.3 connections could appear in high-definition disc players and A/V receivers as early as the summer of 2007.

The HDMI 1.3 equipped products might be out then, but the better question is when will the processors that have the HD audio codecs on-board be released? My guess would be end 07 at the soonest. Lexicon and Anthem have jumped into HDMI now with HDMI 1.1 products.

That, Daryl, I think is the real question.

I've heard the Q1 of 2007, of course the PS3 is HDMI 1.3 compatible already.

Peace and blessings,
