The HDMI Forum has officially released the HDMI 2.2 specification, which includes the new Ultra96 HDMI cables capable of 96Gbps bandwidth. This advancement will allow support for 4K at 480Hz, 8K at 240Hz, and even 16K at 60Hz. While the adoption timeline for hardware manufacturers remains uncertain, the new specification aims to future-proof HDMI capabilities amidst slow utilization of HDMI 2.1. The Ultra96 label simplifies consumer understanding of the cables, and new features such as the Latency Indication Protocol will enhance audio-video synchronization in setups involving soundbars and AV receivers.
"HDMI 2.2 is set to enhance the existing specifications with bandwidth up to 96Gbps, enabling impressive resolutions and refresh rates for future video technology."
"With the new Ultra96 HDMI cables, capabilities expand to support 4K at 480Hz and 8K at 240Hz, marking a significant advancement in visual output standards."
