Hdmi Licensing LLC defines certification for 4k-compatible hdmi-cables

Hdmi Licensing LLC defines certification for 4k-compatible hdmi-cables

Hdmi Licensing LLC has created a certification for hdmi-cables to be capable of videosignals with a 2160p-resolution or 4k. The decision was made after testing several cables. 

This program encompasses additional and enhanced HDMI cable testing as well as a comprehensive anti-counterfeiting label program. This empowers participating HDMI Adopters to design and test their High Speed HDMI Cables for ultra-reliability and high performance typically needed for emerging 4K/UltraHD content.

“With rapid growth of feature-rich, 4K/UltraHD content, it’s critical that all components in a 4K/UltraHD HDMI-connected system are fully capable of delivering on the experience. That is why we are launching this proactive program to give consumers absolute peace-of-mind,” said Jeff Park, HDMI Licensing, LLC’s Technology Evangelist.

The Program includes a best-practices design note and an expanded set of cable testing requirements. Under this program, Participants will test their HDMI cables at an HDMI Authorized Testing Center (ATC) to certify that their HDMI cables can reliably support the full 18Gbps bandwidth of the HDMI 2.0 Specification, which is what is typically needed for the most advanced video formats such as 4K/UltraHD, a wide color gamut, and High Dynamic Range (HDR). The Program also incorporates new testing guidelines for EMI levels to minimize unwanted interference with wireless signals in today’s connected devices. Once the cables have passed the testing requirements at an HDMI Authorized Testing Center (ATC) and are registered with HDMI Licensing, LLC, Participants can brand and promote their cables as Premium High Speed HDMI Cables or Premium High Speed HDMI Cables with Ethernet.

These cables will carry a tamper-proof, anti-counterfeit label to differentiate them from other HDMI cables. A mobile app that scans the label will allow manufacturers, distributors, retailers, and consumers to confirm the authenticity of Premium High Speed HDMI Cables.

“As they upgrade their equipment, consumers expect to fully enjoy the 4K/UltraHD features that the HDMI Specification enables. Consumers can easily identify Premium High Speed HDMI Cables and be confident that their new 4K/UltraHD TVs, sources and cables will deliver an ultra-reliable, 4K/UltraHD experience,” states Rob Tobias, President of HDMI Licensing, LLC.

The Premium HDMI Cable Certification Program is currently available to HDMI Adopters via the HDMI Adopter extranet, and participating HDMI ATCs are ready to accept cables for testing.

To date I have yet to find even a single HDMI cable not capable of transporting 4K with even rather lenghty cables. Of course certification drives up prices and we are certain that Hdmi Licensing LLC will love to take a few coins from the licensing process as the Hdmi Authorized Testing Centers are owned by Hdmi Licensing LLC.

Now all we need is for them to get on that 8k HDMI 3.0 cable.

Won't this still require point A and point B to have HDMI 2.0 spec sockets?

It will of course require HDMI2.0+ sockets if you want 60Hz. You can do 30Hz or heavily color compressed over < 2 if you really want to (and who would?!).

Which cards support the 2.0 standard right now, any? If not, I can't imagine there are any current 4k TV's that do.

I believe Fury does, but only through DP which there are no adapters for that...

Does the 980ti? That would be the only other one I could think of that does.

All the 9 cards support HDMI 2.0. Take a look here,

If you look under New, Better Ways To Play it says that Maxwell supports HDMI 2.0. My guess then is it is the 950 and up. I am not sure if any of the AMD GPU's support it. I think all of the AMD ones that have a HDMI port support 1.4 which is 4k at 30hz not 4k at 60hz like in 2.0. I could be wrong on that, but it is everything I have found so far.
