HDMI 2.2: 96Gbps Bandwidth Ushers in Ultra-High Definition Future
2025-06-25
The HDMI Forum has officially released the HDMI 2.2 specification, featuring Ultra96 high-speed cables with a bandwidth of up to 96Gbps. This supports ultra-high resolutions and refresh rates, including 4K at 480Hz, 8K at 240Hz, and even 16K at 60Hz. While native 8K content remains scarce, HDMI 2.2 future-proofs the HDMI standard for years to come. The new specification also simplifies cable naming and introduces the Latency Indication Protocol (LIP) for improved audio-video synchronization.
