The Film and Television Producers of India have recognized the HDMI standard as the de-facto worldwide standard digital interface for HDTVs and high-definition digital consumer electronics products. In addition to offering the highest quality, single-cable solution for consumers, the HDMI standard ensures secure content protection of filmmakers, broadcasters and other content creators.
Steve Venuti, President of HDMI Licensing, LLC states, "We are honored that the HDMI standard has been recognized by the Film and Television Producers of India. The Indian film industry is one of the most prolific and influential in the world, producing more than 800 films yearly with an estimated global audience of 3.5 billion by 2010. As the single-cable, global connectivity standard for consumer electronics and PC products, the HDMI standard is well positioned to support India’s transition to digital media."
India is quickly migrating to the digital age. By 2012, India is set to become the second-largest digital cable TV home market in Asia-Pacific. There are expected to be over 12 million digital cable subscribers by 2012 and 32 million by 2017.
