Whether or not you're looking forward to the 3D mania that began during CES, one thing you probably won't have to worry about is a format war. Most companies seem to be on board with the idea of active shutter glasses, and there doesn't appear to be much bickering between cable, satellite, and Blu-ray. And helping to bring it all together, the HDMI Licensing group has made the 3D portion of the HDMI Specification Version 1.4 available for public download.

"The HDMI Consortium recognizes the importance of standardized 3D formats for movies, gaming and broadcast content and the need for non-adopter companies and organizations to have access to that portion of the HDMI Specification," says Steve Venuti, president of HDMI Licensing, LLC. "As the mainstream adoption of 3D is gaining momentum and content providers define and expand their 3D roadmaps, HDMI is ready to support this major market development."

The group says the HDMI Consortium will release a 1.4a version of the HDMI Specification very soon, and this will include updates to the 3D portion of the spec.
