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.

In this interview from Embedded World North America 2025 in Anaheim, the team explains how Altium Develop targets smaller organizations that want shared workspaces, browser-based reviews and structured design workflows without heavy governance overhead, while Altium Agile Enterprise extends the same toolchain with stronger compliance, access control and process orchestration for regulated hardware delivery.
The demo walks through a 3D PCB view where electrical engineers, mechanical designers, procurement and requirements owners all see the same live project context, including component usage, lifecycle status and supply-chain risk, while ECAD data is connected to PLM, MRP and ERP systems so that design outputs, manufacturing documentation and change histories stay part of a single digital thread across the product lifecycle.
They also discuss simulation as an integral part of this stack: SPICE-based circuit analysis, layout-aware checks for EMI and power integrity, bus-functional models for microcontrollers and integrations with tools from partners like Ansys and Keysight so that signal, thermal and power behavior can be explored before committing to prototypes, reducing re-spins and tightening design-for-manufacturing performance.
Finally, as Altium is now part of the Renesas group, the conversation touches on how reference designs, firmware and embedded compute platforms from the semiconductor side align with cloud-native ECAD, requirements management and manufacturing release, giving embedded teams a clearer path from initial product concept through to compliant, traceable hardware ready for volume production roadmap.
