Universal Stylus Initiative at Display Week 2026, showing the open active stylus ecosystem for interoperable digital ink across compatible devices. USI focuses on a common standard so pens, touch-enabled devices, silicon, software, and accessories can work together without every product being locked to a proprietary stylus system.

HDMI® Technology is the foundation for the worldwide ecosystem of HDMI-connected devices; integrated with displays, set-top boxes, laptops, audio video receivers and other product types. Because of this global usage, manufacturers, resellers, integrators and consumers must be assured that their HDMI® products work seamlessly together and deliver the best possible performance by sourcing products from licensed HDMI Adopters or authorized resellers. For HDMI Cables, consumers can look for the official HDMI® Cable Certification Labels on packaging. Innovation continues with the latest HDMI 2.2 Specification that supports higher 96Gbps bandwidth and next-gen HDMI Fixed Rate Link technology to provide optimal audio and video for a wide range of device applications. Higher resolutions and refresh rates are supported, including up to 12K@120 and 16K@60. Additionally, more high-quality options are supported, including uncompressed full chroma formats such as 8K@60/4:4:4 and 4K@240/4:4:4 at 10-bit and 12-bit color.

The Universal Stylus Initiative describes its mission as making digital ink universal, with specifications covering stylus-device communication such as pressure, tilt, secure pairing, and programmable buttons. This matters for education, tablets, Chromebooks, PCs, note-taking, drawing, field work, and enterprise workflows where users expect a stylus to work consistently across supported hardware.
