HDMI technology has been in recent years with nearly 500 companies applied to consumer electronics and PC products, HDMI in the consumer electronic products, high-definition interface, the fact that the standard has been consolidated, and has become a worldwide standard digital connection technology. But given the high speed USB3.0 interface, the birth of a new generation, HDMI fate seems about to change. Recently on USB3.0 HDMI as audio and video will replace the main interface of the discussion rampant.

USB 3.0 can be a substitute for professional HDMI technology? See from the speed, USB 3.0 transfer rate per second theory 5G, will mean that one can transmit uncompressed 1080p HD video. The HDMI is mainly used to televisions, projectors and other display devices output audio and video signals, the advantage is not obvious, especially in support peripherals. More on a portable device with a USB port based, external accessories, and this determines the ecosystem after the video interface and trends.

From video accessories industry trends, the future of video solutions increasingly rely on software to calculate, rather than relying on hardware superiority, because the CPU processing speed and computing capacity faster and faster. Secondly, the video hardware is relatively mature, especially in single-point product prices on the decline, become practical, more low-profit, HDMI's advantage is not obvious. Finally, in the traditional video conferencing, large-scale concurrent users online, more and more enterprise-class video solutions will be more mature and need more peripheral interfaces. Analysis from several points of view, USB 3.0 high speed, cheap, and more peripherals, etc., will replace HDMI, audio and video equipment to become the future standard interface. Many hardware vendors to deliver USB 3.0 products have been produced, the second half of the mass market, is expected within a few years, support for USB audio and video equipment will be more and more.

At the same time, the industry has a different view. Senior Connector agents in Guangzhou Hao Lung electronics experts said, HDMI has its maturity profile, a special audio and video in the alternative field has not, as has just introduced a new interface specification, USB3.0 may face compatibility problems, and ultimately have to wait and see whether to replace HDMI.
