Accella @ CEDIA - First Mini HDMI cable

HDMI continues to gain acceptenace and the manufacturers of small CE devices want to play too. Although HDMI-mini was announced a few months ago a cable has finnally arived. Accella is showing this new cable at CEDIA and our man on the scene snaped these pics for your enjoyment. This new connector is intended for small CE devices like phones and cameras that are too small to fit a normal size HDMI cable.

How many consumer source/capture devices currently need encrypted transport (including audio) from a camera to a recorder? I would think that the regular HDMI connector mounted to a $1500-3000 prosumer HD camera is tolerable without reinventing the wheel. I get the feeling cable manufacturers are the driving force in this as they got a new sku to sell.

Well the new HDMI spec 1.3 allowed for this new connector. Along with the new connector is "deep color" up to 46 bit color depth and support of lossless audio codecs and other things.

I wonder when the new portable devices that use this will come out? I wish the new video ipod will some HDMI love because I hate analog crap.
