on a remote control and was recently approved as an American National Standard. 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. This enables viewers to continue wearing glasses as content switches from 2D to 3D mode, and also enables two viewers to see two different images, which might be desirable in video gaming, CEA said. CEA-2042.1-A, “Wireless Power Glossary of Terms,” defines terminology used to describe wireless charging systems that charge devices placed on a flat charging surface. CEA-805-D-1, “Data Services on the Component Video Interfaces,” clarifies how digital bits need to be transmitted in a CEA-805-D component video signal. The technical report, CEA-TR-1, “Home Illumination Study,” details results of a study of ambient light levels in typical TV viewing locations, which is useful for determining how bright a picture needs to be to provide a satisfactory viewing experience, the association said. Brightness has a direct impact on the energy consumption of the TV, it noted. The study was done in cooperation with the Custom Electronic Design and Installation Association.
