Versions (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hdmi)

HDMI 1.2

Released August 8, 2005.

• Added support for One Bit Audio, used on Super Audio CDs, up to 8 channels.
• Availability of HDMI Type A connector for PC sources.
• Ability for PC sources to use native RGB color-space while retaining the option to support the YCBCR CE color space.
• Requirement for HDMI 1.2 and later displays to support low-voltage sources.

HDMI 1.2a

Released December 14, 2005.

• Fully specifies Consumer Electronic Control (CEC) features, command sets, and CEC compliance tests.

HDMI 1.3

Released June 22, 2006

• Increases single-link bandwidth to 340?MHz (10.2?Gbit/s)
• Optionally supports 30-bit, 36-bit, and 48-bit xvYCC with Deep Color or over one billion colors, up from 24-bit sRGB or YCbCr in previous versions.
• Incorporates automatic audio syncing (Audio video sync) capability.
• Optionally supports output of Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio streams for external decoding by AV receivers. TrueHD and DTS-HD are lossless audio codec formats used on HD DVDs and Blu-ray Discs. If the disc player can decode these streams into uncompressed audio, then HDMI 1.3 is not necessary, as all versions of HDMI can transport uncompressed audio.
• Availability of a new mini connector for devices such as camcorders

HDMI 1.3a

Released November 10, 2006.

• Cable and Sink modifications for Type C
• Source termination recommendation
• Removed undershoot and maximum rise/fall time limits.
• CEC capacitance limits changed
• RGB video quantization range clarification
• CEC commands for timer control brought back in an altered form, audio control commands added.
• Concurrently released compliance test specification included.

HDMI 1.3b

Released March 26, 2007.

• HDMI compliance testing revisions. Has no effect on HDMI features or functions since the testing is for products based on the HDMI 1.3a specification.

HDMI 1.3b1

Released November 9, 2007.

• HDMI compliance testing revisions which added testing requirements for HDMI Type C mini-connector. Has no effect on HDMI features or functions since the testing is for products based on the HDMI 1.3a specification.

• 36-bit support is mandatory for Deep Color compatible CE devices with 48-bit support being optional
• CEC has been in the HDMI specification since version 1.0 but has only begun to be used in CE products with HDMI version 1.3
• Large number of additions and clarifications for CEC commands. One addition is CEC command allowing for volume control of an AV receiver.
• Playback of SACD may be possible for older revisions if the signal source (such as the Oppo 970) converts to LPCM. For those receivers that have only PCM DAC converters and not DSD, this means that no additional resolution loss occurs.
• Even for audio bitstream formats that a given HDMI revision can not transport, it may still be possible to decode the bitstream in the player and transmit the audio as LPCM. For HD DVD, this is always the case, for Blu-ray, this may be the case for newer profile 1.1 players (as these will feature audio decoders anyway), while older profile 1.0 players may or may not support non-mandatory audio codecs even if HDMI 1.3 is used.
