BrentM, The HDMI connector my be in YOUR future for 5/8years, but it won't be in mine unless necessary. Adapters will be made, they always are when situations necessitate the need. Now, if adaptation is part of the class curriculum, that would be usefull.
GotGame: I would rather my future be analog compression (very low failure). But as noted above content is king. And content requires protection. There will be more options for distance and distribution. However the at product connector will remain HDMI. We need to learn as much as possible in order to not look ignorant. Frequency is not the only criteria in fact it is low on the list. Intermodal Skew is the number one issue (timing). That is what separates the men from the boys. Many cable (and CE) mfgr's are having problems shifting to HDMI. They are still thinking in analog terms. Adapt or perish. Learn how to work with your future (if you want to remain a viable business) and take advantage of the confusion. Remember this is all about lawyers, not performance or convinence.
