The HDMI Forum, which produces and manages HDMI details, has formally launched the final and complete specifications for HDMI version 2.2. The first revealed in CES 2025, version 2.2 was designed to make modern TVs send videos with high refresh rates and resolutions, such as people with 4K and 8K display. Version 2.2 cables need to be branded with an ultra -96 feature name, which indicates that they support 96 GBPS and all HDMI 2.2 applications in bandout.
Label buyers ensure that they are buying a certified product with the features they need, as existing ultra -high -speed HDMI cables support only 48 GBPS in maximum bandout. The HDMI forum guarantees compliance guarantees for each model will require testing for each model, and the label needs to be displayed on the cable itself.
HDMI 2.2 cables are able to send content with 12k resolution to 120 FPS and can send 16K resolution to 60 FPS on auxiliary devices. They also support 60 FPS/4: 4: 4 and 4K Resolutions such as 240 FPS/4: 4: 4: 4: 4: 10 -bit and 12 -bit colors and also support unintentional complete chroma formats. In addition, they come up with a new feature called Litrations Indicator Protocol (LIP), which improves audio and video harmony. This would be especially useful for the formation of the more complex system, such as those including audio video recipients or sound bar. Now that the forum has officially released full specifications of HDMI version 2.2, we only have to wait for certified cables and synchronized devices to be available.
