Unified Display Interface




On December 20, 2005, the UDI Special Interest Group (UDI SIG) was announced. They will work on determining the specifications and promoting the interface. Members include Silicon Image Inc. , Intel , Apple , LG , Samsung and NVIDIA .

UDI is specifically targeted towards the needs of computer monitor and video card manufacturers as opposed to HDMI which is aimed more at use in consumer electronics equipment such as television monitors and DVD players. Unlike HDMI , UDI is display only, it does not carry audio signals unless the product in question is also licensed for HDMI if so a UDI to HDMI cable will carry both sound and picture

The final specification is expected to be finalized in the second quarter of 2006. The differences between UDI and HDMI will be kept to a minimum, as both specifications will be aligned for long-term compatibility.
