CEA-861-D establishes protocols, requirements, and recommendations for the utilization of
uncompressed digital interfaces by consumer electronics devices such as digital televisions (DTVs),digital cable, satellite or terrestrial set-top boxes (STBs), and related peripheral devices including, but not limited to DVD players/recorders, and other related source or sink devices.
As Digital Visual Interface (DVI) 1.0 [3], Open LVDS Display Interface (LDI) [7], and High-Definition
Multimedia Interface (HDMI) [29] specifications. Protocols, requirements, and recommendations that are
defined include video formats and waveforms; colorimetry and quantization; transport of compressed and
uncompressed, as well as Linear Pulse Code Modulation (LPCM), audio; carriage of auxiliary data; and
implementations of the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) Enhanced Extended Display
Identification Data Standard (E-EDID) [9], which is used by sink devices to declare display capabilities
and characteristics.
