BENGALURU
June 11: Royal Philips Electronics on Wednesday announced the inaugura­tion of High Definition Multimedia         Interface
(HDMI) Authorized Test­ing Center laboratory at its Philips Innovation Campus in Bengaluru.
The test centre will facili­tate HDMI compliance testing services as per HDMI Compliance Test Specification 1.3b. The unit is the firm's only HDMI ATC globally.
"HDMI is poised to play a bigger role in the avail­ability and consumption of high-definition digital media and this ATC will be
catalytic in speeding the time-to-market of HDMI compliant products. Con­sumers will be the direct beneficiary of this test facility because HDMI compliance testing pro­motes interoperability and helps to ensure that pur­chased entertainment solu­tions with HDMI will work together efficiently," senior director,            Consumer
Lifestyle, Philips, Jelle Rieske said.
With over 800 companies adopting HDMI as a stan­dard for their products, the market holds huge poten­tial for the technology stan­dard. Globally, over 200 million devices featuring HDMI are expected to ship in 2008, a study said.
