General Purpose Media Interface (GPMI) is an upcoming standard for an audio/video interface for transmitting uncompressed video data and compressed or uncompressed digital audio data from a source device, such as a display controller, to a computer monitor, video projector, digital television, or digital audio. GPMI is intended to be a successor to HDMI but developed by Chinese companies.
The GPMI standard will be released in phases: home entertainment, automotive/transportation, and industrial applications. GPMI is developed by the Shenzhen 8K UHD Video Industry Cooperation Alliance (SUCA) that includes over fifty Chinese member companies, including Huawei, Skyworth, Hisense, and TCL. It is unclear whether GPMI will be a free standard or whether manufacturers will be required to pay a license fee as with HDMI.
