CEA hosts the R4.8 DTV Interface Subcommittee which establishes standards and guidelines for RF, analog and digital interfaces for the purpose of defining connectivity and interoperability among analog/digital TV receivers and other consumer devices that deliver analog and digital A/V and other digital data services.

CEA PlugFest Activities:
CEA conducts innovative PlugFests each year focusing on connectivity and interoperability. These events allow manufacturers to come together and test interfaces in a semi-private, round robin fashion. Designers can sort out connectivity issues between different manufacturers before products get in consumers hands.
