HDMI 2.2 will be proclaimd next month — and it may demand a novel cable

The group behind the HDMI standard, HDMI Forum, says that it will detail a novel spec free in a press conference on January 6th that will help “a expansive range of higher resolutions and rerecent rates.” The novel capabilities will be “aided with a novel cable,” according to the HDMI Forum’s email to The Verge announcing the presser.

The spec is probable to be HDMI 2.2, as VideoCardz remarks. The Forum’s email hints at it too, noting that the HDMI Licensing Administrator, which two of the intentional speakers at the event recurrent, is assigned “to license Version 2.2 of the HDMI definiteation.”

HDMI 2.1, which has only ever getd lettered revisions since its 2017 introduction, aids 48Gbps prohibitdwidth, up to 120Hz variable rerecent rates, and resolutions up to 10240 x 4320. VideoCardz specuprocrastinateeds that the modernized spec could apshow for higher resolutions and structurerates without the demand for Distake part Stream Compression.

Wantipathyver the spec transports, that allude of a novel cable is a tidy reminder that enjoy USB-C, not all HDMI cables are the same. It seems improbable that HDMI Forum would alter the port itself, so you’ll probably be able to participate your ancigo in ones with the modernized spec, and some might even aid its higher prohibitdwidth. Still, there’s always the chance you demand recent cables to get all of the novel capabilities when the time comes.
