EICTA announces `HD Ready` clarification programme
EICTA, the European industry organisation representing the information and communications technology and consumer electronics sectors, has announced its Conditions for HD Labelling of Display Devices and associated HD ready label. The HD ready label is introduced as a quality sign for the differentiation of display equipment, capable of processing and displaying high definition signals, awarded on the basis of minimum functionality requirements detailed in the EICTA conditions for HD Labelling of Display Devices.
The EICTA Conditions for HD Labelling of Display Devices are the result of a concerted effort from the European high technology industry, elaborated in close dialogue with representatives from the European public and private broadcasters, infrastructure and service providers, as well as national HDTV-related initiatives. The conditions embody a carefully sought after balance between technology and business drivers.
Rudy Provoost, CEO Philips Consumer Electronics, as president of EICTA and chairman of the executive board, said: "I am pleased to announce that EICTA is taking the lead in driving the dynamic changes we are seeing in what is undoubtedly one of Europe`s most exciting and revolutionary industry sectors. Setting the Conditions for HD Labelling of Display Devices marks real progress in the rollout of HDTV in Europe and demonstrates the organisation`s commitment to actively creating the conditions for the digital economy as well as fully embracing the challenges and benefits of innovation."
Daniel Sauvet-Goichon, chairman, EBU Technical Committee, said: "It is critically important that the public is informed about the capabilities of home displays to provide high definition television - and that broadcasters understand what will happen to their content. The HD ready label is fully supported by Europe`s national broadcasters, the Members of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU). The EICTA Conditions for HD Labelling of Display Devices offers a well balanced approach which responds to viewers` and broadcasters` needs for certainty regarding interoperability with future HD receiver products."
Ferdinand Kayser, president and CEO of SES ASTRA, said: "The HD ready label provides consumers with the guarantee that displays from different manufacturers are genuinely future-proof and fully compliant with commonly agreed technical standards for state-of-the-art High Definition broadcasts. In combination with ASTRA`s unique 24 hour HD promo channel which is available for live demonstrations on HD displays at points of sales all across Europe, it provides a powerful marketing tool to educate millions of end-consumers about the single most important technological development in broadcasting since the introduction of colour TV: HDTV!"
The issues addressed by the EICTA HD ready label are critical to fostering growth, guaranteeing confidence in the consumer electronics sector, and achieving the goals of putting Europe on the worldwide HDTV map. The EICTA Conditions for HD Labelling of Display Devices offers a carefully balanced approach which preserves the incentives for European innovation in broadcasting technologies, while also responding to the consumer`s call for certainty and clear messaging regarding interoperability with future HD receiver products. The HD ready label should introduce consumer assurance and confidence when purchasing new display devices assumed to be ready for use with High Definition broadcasts and other HD equipment. The label is awarded within a self-certification regime.
