The Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) announces 5 new standards-- with topics ranging from 3D video accessibility to wireless charging and remote controls.
The standards are as follows:
- ANSI/CEA-2041 Standard for a Round Tactile Indicator: defines a round, raised nib that visually impaired people can use to identify the buttons on a remote control.
- CEA-708.1 Digital Television (DTV) Closed Captioning, 3D Extensions: describes how to send closed captioning information for 3D video.
- CEA-2038 Command–Driven Analog IR-Synchronized Active Eyewear: describes how to control “active” 3D glasses worn by viewers using an infrared signal sent by a TV set.
- CEA-2042.1-A Wireless Power Glossary of Terms: defines terminology used to describe wireless charging (from a flat charging surface) systems.
- CEA-805-D-1 Data Services on the Component Video Interfaces: provides important clarifications about how digital bits need to be transmitted in a CEA-805-D component video signal.
The association also has a technical document on TV brightness levels-- CEA-TR1, Home Illumination Study.
