Default Digital connectivity - when?

All forms of connectivity between devices remain in the analogue domain, apart
from that one that is used on Plasma TVs/projectors (HDVI?).

When can we expect the industry to start supplying digital video streaming
connectivity.

Perhaps the standards people should ditch the composite signal for a digital
stream in the SCART connector.

Most new projectors seem to have HDMI now, and a few top-end plasmas
too. During the course of the year (early next year in the UK) satellite
set top boxes will start to have HDMI out, and all the new HD DVD
players due out at the end of the year will have HDMI out too, so this
will certainly drive demand for TVs with HDMI inputs.

Perhaps the standards people should ditch the composite signal for a digital
stream in the SCART connector.


People are calling HDMI "the new scart", I don't think we'll see and
changes to the old one.
