CES 2006 update 2: PlayStation 3 compatible with the next generation of HDMI output
Interesting announcement made by Ken Kutaragi, father of playstation, talks about the next generation of HDMI output that will be included with Playstation 3.
Kutaragi let slip one bit about the Playstation 3’s next generationness (it’s a word — look it up!). According to Kutaragi, Sony is hoping to make the PlayStation 3 compatible with the next generation of HDMI output (HDMI is a type of connection that will likely be required for viewing movies in high definition). The current generation of HDMI offers 8-bit levels for each color channel. The next generation of HDMI will offer 16-bit levels. “It’s meaningless to process at 16 bit internally and then output at 8 bit,” Kutaragi commented. “We’d like to have sixteen bit, or at the very least, 12 bit.”
