HDMI 2.1 Features:
- 8K 60Hz and 4k 120hz with up to 10k resolutions. This will improve the details of the image and smooth the viewing experience
- Dynamic HDR support: This will enable the image to be displayed in the correct color depths, details and brightness that would be expected in a very high bandwidth, high resolution display. The heavy visual lifting would be done here.
- SBTM - Source Based Tony Mapping: Enables the HDR mapping to share some of the visual and graphic heavy lifting. Half the graphic power would be sourced from the source device - instead of the display device.
- Ultra High Speed Cables will support 48G bandwidth for uncompressed HDMI 2.1 support. The new cables will also feature lower latency and EMI emission (electromagnetic interference).
- eARC will provide a more dynamic and ease of use across all products. It will also support the most advanced formats and the highest quality audio signals.
- Enhanced gaming features: -Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) this will remove the stutter, frame lag, and visual tearing and make for an enhanced and smoother gameplay experience.
- Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM) Chooses the ideal latency protocol automatically to keep the display smooth and uninterrupted.
- Quick Frame Transport (QFT) reduces latency for smoother no-lag gaming, and real-time interactive virtual reality. This is going to keep you from getting motion sick while
- Quick Media Switching (QMS) for movies and video eliminates the delay that often occurs when a device changes from one HDMI frame rate to another.
- HDMI Cable Power enables active HDMI Cables to be powered directly from the HDMI Connector, without attaching a separate power cable. This makes attaching and using active HDMI Cables as easy as using passive, wired HDMI Cables.
