Addressing the Premium HDMI Cable Certification Program launched lately by the HDMI® Licensing LLC, iST, the verification service provider for the electronic industry, announced today (10th. of November) that it has been certified by the Simplay Labs as the first qualified in Taiwan. As a result, iST is now ready to certify HDMI cables made by local manufacturers for quality and performance of high speed HDMI cables in providing 4K/UltraHD contents as well as to issue security labels.

It comes to iST’s attention that the AV cables for delivering high definition videos and audios are getting more important amid the fast penetration of 4K TVs. Truly high resolution 4K images output is subject to quality of the transmission cables. However, the latter available in the markets are not regulated by standards. Their qualities vary with suppliers and may hamper the experience of users due to inconsistent quality levels.

The Premium HDMI Cable Certification Program debuted by the HDMI® Licensing LLC lately is aimed at helping HDMI cable users to ensure true 4K/UltraHD AV entertainment.

Test requirements exerted by this program are designed to ensure HDMI cables’ HDMI2.0 support for the latest and most advanced video specifications including 18 Gbps bandwidth, 4K/UltraHD, wide color gamut and high dynamic range (HDR). The certification program also contains EMI testing standards and the 6G eye diagram to cut interference caused by wireless signals in connection devices to ensure delivery of HD images to TV sets.

The program also offers HDMI cable security logo to help manufacturers, dealers, retailers and consumers in identifying and purchasing true and quality HDMI AV cables.

Being an Authorized Testing Center (ATC) of HDMI® Licensing LLC and qualified by Simplay Labs for this program, the iST is now beginning to provide certification services for HDMI cable suppliers and to issue security labels for products that have successfully qualified, noted YU Tianhua, Director, Signal Testing Unit, iST.
