HDMI Forum has released HDMI Version
2.0, which promises to increase bandwidth significantly to take consumer entertainment
to the next level, while extending support to tech companies to continue
expanding new technology and higher end gadgets.
HDMI 2 significantly increases
bandwidth up to 18Gbps, which will enable support for 4K ultra high
resolutions. 4K@50/60 (2160p) – that is 60fps technology provides 4
times the clarity of 1080p/60 video resolution currently seen with HDMI
1.4 which is widely available HDTVs. It also takes the immersive audio
experience to the next level with support of 32 audio channels! It allows
for simultaneous delivery of multi-stream audio up to 4 users and dual video
streams to multiple users on the same screen with support for the wide
angle theatrical 21:9 video aspect ratios.
A good feature is that HDMI
2.0 Specification will be backward compatible with earlier versions which you
use now to attach common gadgets like HDTV, video cameras, HD cameras, Play
stations, etc. HDMI 2.0 was developed by the HDMI Forum’s Technical
Working Group, a collaboration of top manufacturers in electronics, computers,
mobiles and components.
Category 2 HDMI cables which
are often marked as “High Speed”, will support the HDMI 2.0 specification. So
next time you buy HDMI cables be aware that you buy the latest version for
compatibility with your future gadgets.
