    CEA wants to standardize ultra-widescreen (21:9) TVs

    4 Comments by 2ndRick Published on 08-31-2011 03:41 PM
    CEA is launching a new initiative to standardize the ultra-widescreen displays for consumer use.

    The "21:9" ratio they are promoting is the equivalent of 2.33:1, which is close to the cinema-scope standard.

    To support development of the next-generation of widescreen digital television, the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) launched new standards activity to support wider, 21:9 aspect ratio TVs.

    CEA is calling for industry participation in a standards update to investigate incorporation of methods for signaling delivery of the presence of 21:9 video into CEA 861, A DTV Profile for Uncompressed High-Speed Digital Interfaces. Next-generation TV displays will be capable of showing video in 21:9 aspect ratio, creating an even more expanded widescreen view than today's prevalent 16:9 screens, and greatly enhancing the viewing experience for consumers.

    CEA‑861 establishes protocols, requirements and recommendations for the utilization of uncompressed digital interfaces by consumer electronics devices such as digital televisions (DTVs), digital cable, satellite or terrestrial set-top boxes (STBs), and related peripheral devices. CEA’s Video Systems Committee has begun developing specifications for signaling the presence of 21:9 aspect ratio video. As video displays with 21:9 aspect ratio are now appearing in the marketplace, adding this feature to the standard can more efficiently deliver such video to DTV receivers with native 21:9 displays.

    “The introduction of video displays with 21:9 aspect ratio is an exciting development that can increase consumer enjoyment and satisfaction for video consumption,” says Wayne Luplow, vice president of Zenith R&D Lab, LG Electronics USA Inc. and chair or CEA’s Video Systems Committee. “We hope the proposed modifications to CEA-861 will help manufacturers build products that can signal their ability to display this extra widescreen video and invite input from other organizations involved in the creation and delivery of DTV content.”

    The Video Systems Committee believes that other standards-related organizations might also want to consider the inclusion of methods for signaling and delivery of 21:9 aspect ratio content utilizing other transport systems.

    Consideration of this increased aspect ratio addition will take place in CEA’s DTV Interface Subcommittee's Uncompressed A/V Digital Interfaces Working Group. Participation in CEA standards and activities is open to any company, organization or individual with direct and material interest. The Working Group’s next meetings via conference call will take place on August 31 and September 13. To get involved, or for more information, please contact Dave Wilson at dwilson@CE.org.

    Guess they're giving up on 3D as a way to boost sales....

    Any more word on this? I would personally much rather own and promote 21:9 (2520x1080p) sets than 3D sets. I think this is great if it takes root.

    EDIT: Well, looks like Vizio intends to build one, and it includes 3D.

    You have to hand it to Venus DeMilo... otherwise she'd starve.

    Former Green Bay Packers coach Vince Lombardi, when asked how it felt to be the greatest team in the world after winning the championship in 1966, said, “I don’t know, we haven’t played Alabama yet.”

    I'll be all over this.

    This has been my rant for the last 2 years, I really think there is a decent CI market for this.

    Philips came out with one a couple years ago:
