Monster Cable occupies its own specialized niche in the technology industry: some swear that the company tempts nervous, uneducated buyers into paying for expensive audio/visual cables that they really don’t need. Beyond the hype, however, should be a realization that this is a company built on the need for bandwidth.
On Tuesday, Monster held what company executives billed as a “technology demo event” talking about the future of connectivity. A good deal of it was background on HDMI 1.4, and its bandwidth requirements, together with so-called “4K: resolutions that are coming down the pipe.
I found a couple of points noteworthy, however: Brad Bramy, director of marketing for Silicon Image, predicted the 2010 and 2011 would be the year that the mobile and CE industries would begin to converge, offering the possibility that some of the 1.4 billion phones on the market would join some of the 160 million portable devices (such as camcorders) and offer HDMI out.
