A timely announcement from HDMI LA, just hours before AMD and nVidia's press conferences, also scheduled for January 6, which are likely to present their new series of graphics cards, the GeForce RTX 50 and Radeon RX 8000 respectively, to the world.
HDMI Forum to speak££££
"The HDMI Forum will announce a new version of the HDMI specification. The new specification with next-generation HDMI technology and higher bandwidth enables a variety of higher resolutions and refresh rates and is supported with a new HDMI cable. The new technologies provide higher quality options for content producers such as TV, film and game studios today and tomorrow, while enabling multiple distribution platforms."
HDMI 2.2 for what purpose?££££
Without a doubt, the idea for the HDMI consortium is to compete with Vesa (Video Electronics Standards Association) at the origin of the Display Port connector, which is very present in the computer and gaming worlds. And to align more or less the capacities of the new [abc]HDMI[/abc] standard with those of Display Port 2.1 with the key, very probably, the possibility of managing the [abc]Ultra HD[/abc] [abc]8K[/abc] definition at 60 Hz without the DSC (Display Stream Compression) compression protocol present in the HDMI 2.1 standard, perhaps even the UHD 8K definition at 120 Hz, or even the Ultra HD [abc]4K[/abc] definition at 240 Hz (video game fans will be delighted).
