Seeing Red – in Three Dimensions!

Figure 1 (preview)Figure 1 (preview)The main focus of DPL Labs is to provide a mechanism for dealers and consumers to determine which cables have a true ability to carry high-bandwidth, high-definition HDMI signaling with the highest degree of accuracy. DPL engineers have known for years that if HDMI solutions were not capable of providing a performance level with enough signal integrity, it would be just a matter of time before consumers would begin to see limitations, or performance issues, from the products they own…or those they upgrade to in the future. The bottom line is, if you don’t have solid signal integrity performance, the system will most likely fail at some point in time.

DPL Labs Launches All-New Information-Packed Website

New Site Offers Easy Access to Seal of Approval Program Details, List of Approved Products, and Information on HDMI Technology

DPL Laboratories, Inc. (DPL Labs) announced today that it has launched an all-new website that has been completely redesigned and engineered to offer easy access to an extensive database of important information about high-bandwidth, high definition digital signaling solutions such as HDMI™, as well as in-depth details on its ground-breaking DPL Seal of Approval Program. The company also announced that this exciting new web presence has moved to a more easily remembered web address: www.DPLlabs.com.

Working with website design specialists, DPL Labs’ set goals to add more depth and volume to the data available on the site – and at the same time to make it easier to access this greater amount of information such that visitors can quickly find whatever detail they seek. Rising to the challenge, the designers adopted a simplified multi-tier structure in which each visitor browsing DPL’s website can individually determine the level of their interaction. The more the visitor clicks, the deeper the level of detail to which they’ll “drill-down.” The visitor simply stops clicking when they’ve received the amount of detail required to satisfy their needs.

HDMI Rev. 1.4: Out of the Ether…Ethernet Added

Regardless of how you feel about it…HDMI™ specification revision 1.4 (Rev. 1.4) is now upon us. And 1.4 adds so much more, with significant new features designed to prepare the industry’s foremost digital signaling solution for the future.

Using CAT5/6 HDMI™ Extenders to “Go Long”

Posted in

When my two sons throw a football around every fall, it is common for my older son grab the ball tightly and bark “go long” to his younger brother who takes off running to catch a long pass from his big brother. Likewise, installers and integrators often talk about the need to go long with their HDMI™ installations. It is an issue that we at DPL hear about all the time.

HDMI Rev. 1.4 – Stay Out of the F.U.D. Zone

Posted in

Last week’s pre-dawn announcement by HDMI Licensing, LLC of a new specification for the HDMI™ interface – Revision1.4 – reinforces exactly what DPL has been preaching over the course of the last few years by way of articles, presentations and interviews. That message was that DPL Labs was in favor of the creation of a new digital era connectivity solution that would have the ability to aggressively drive an unlimited expansion of technology for Consumer Electronics.
