Standards

HDMI
Developed by Sony, Hitachi, Thomson (RCA), Philips, Matsushita (Panasonic), Toshiba and Silicon Image as the digital interface standard for the consumer electronics market, the HDMI specification combines uncompressed high-definition video and multi-channel audio in a single digital interface to provide crystal-clear digital quality over a single cable.

DVI
Pioneered by Silicon Image and introduced by the Digital Display Working Group (DDWG), DVI is the de facto standard for connecting PCs to digital displays.

SATA
Silicon Image has driven development of Serial ATA (SATA), the hard disk drive interface standard for desktop and mobile PCs that is also making inroads in the enterprise arena. Silicon Image is the price/performance leader in SATA motherboard and host bus adapter solutions.

SPMT™
Serial Port Memory Technology - the first-of-its-kind memory specification for dynamic random access memory (DRAM), SPMT targets the mobile handset market, enabling a new generation of devices capable of running highly data intensive, media-rich applications while at the same time extending battery life.
