SHENZHEN, China — The DiiVA Consortium today announced that the initial draft of the group’s proposed digital home networking specification will be made available for public comment.
DiiVA (Digital Interactive Interface for Video & Audio) is a new consumer electronics (CE) home networking interface standard which combines the transmission of uncompressed video and audio with a reliable, high-speed, bi-directional data channel. With a maximum bandwidth of 13.5Gbps link speed for video, uncompressed video can be sent through the network from any DiiVA-enabled source to any DiiVA-enabled display. The bi-directional data channel is capable of simultaneously sending multiple protocols such as high-definition audio, USB, Ethernet, commands and content protection.
The DiiVA Consortium’s public web site outlines the process to gain access to the specification. A company must first register with the DiiVA Promoters group. Once a company has registered, it will obtain access to review the current draft of the specification. Feedback on the specification can be submitted to the DiiVA Promoters Group.
Additionally, the DiiVA Promoters Group announced the formation of the DiiVA Steering Committee of Contributors which includes leading System-On-Chip (SOC) companies, Japanese and Korean CE companies, Cable and Connector makers and test equipment vendors. These companies will contribute and advise on the technical writing of the DiiVA specification and assist the Consortium to create value added features for end users.
