The founders of High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) are Hitachi, Philips, Sony, Silicon Image, RCA, Toshiba and Matsushita Electric Industrial who started the development of HDMI
in 2002.
The intention was to develop an AV connector which would be compatible with DVI. They needed to improve on this as the CEA-891-B video standard was in use for HD Televisions at the time. The goal was a smaller connector, which would advance audio and also the consumer electronics control functions, with the use of one remote control.
