She has a special affinity for space, its technologies and its mysteries, though, and has interviewed astronauts for Engadget.
The HDMI forum, which develops and manages HDMI specification, has officially launched the final and full specifications for HDMI version 2.2. First, version 2.2 was designed to make it significantly easier to send videos with higher refresh rates and resolutions to modern TVs, such as those with 4K and 8K displays.
Version 2.2 cables are required to be branded with the Ultra96 feature name, which indicates that they support up to 96Gbps in bandwidth and all HDMI 2.2 applications. The label ensures buyers that they're purchasing a certified product with the features they need, as the current ultra high-speed HDMI cables only support up to 48Gbps in maximum bandwidth. HDMI forum will require testing for each model length to guarantee compliancy, and the label is required to be displayed on the cable itself. HDMI 2.2 cables are capable of sending content with up to 12K resolution at 120 fps and 16K resolution at 60 fps to supporting devices. They also support uncompressed full chroma formats such as 8K resolution at 60 fps/4:4:4 and 4K resolution at 240 fps/4:4:4 at 10-bit and 12-bit color. In addition, they come with a new feature called Latency Indication Protocol that improves audio and video synchronization. It will be especially useful for more complex system configurations, such as those that include audio-video receivers or soundbars. Now that the Forum has officially released HDMI Version 2.2's full specifications, we'll just have to wait for certified cables and compatible devices to be available.
