Excellent value for money. A+ on this one. Make sure you pick the right version for your needs and feel free to give a thumbs up if this review was helpful. What is the difference between HDMI versions 1.1, 1.2, 1.3a, 1.4a and 2.0? DVD Audio.HDMI 1.2: Features and functions have been added to make HDMI more attractive for use in both the consumer electronics and PC industries. Specifically, HDMI 1.2 features and modifications include: support for one-bit audio formats such as Super Audio CD-DSD (Direct Stream Digital) format, changes to better support current and future PCs with HDMI outputs, including: Availability of a widely used Type A HDMI connector for PC sources and displays with full support for PC video formats, the ability for PC sources to use their own RGB color space while retaining the ability to support the YCbCr CE color space, a requirement for displays with HDMI 1.2 and later supporting future low-voltage sources (i.e. AC-coupled sources), such as e.g. B. those based on PCI Express I/O technology. HDMI 1.2a - CEC (Consumer Electronic Control) functions and command sets as well as CEC compliance tests are now fully defined. - Creation of HDMI Compliance Test Specification (CTS) version 1.2a, which includes the CEC addendum. HDMI CTS 1.2a has been updated to be technically compatible with the HDMI 1.2a specification as well as the recently released HDMI 1.2 specification. In particular, CTS 1.2a includes additional requirements for cable and connector testing, as well as requirements for submission to an Authorized Test Center (ATC). Specifically, CTS 1.2a requires the user to submit any new HDMI cable that is longer than previously tested cable to ATC for testing. In addition, HDMI Licensing, LLC maintains a list of approved connectors. For a device to pass ATC's CTS 1.2a test, all ports on that device must be included in the Approved Ports List. To add a connector to this list, the vendor must submit complete and passing test results to ATC or HDMI Licensing, LLC. ) to support the demands of future HD display devices such as higher resolution, deep colors and high frame rates. In addition, the HDMI 1.3 specification defines the technical basis with which future HDMI versions can achieve significantly higher speeds. Deep Color: HDMI 1.3 supports 10-bit, 12-bit and 16-bit color depth (RGB or YCbCr). , compared to 8-bit depth in previous versions of the HDMI specification, for stunning reproduction of over a billion colors in unprecedented detail. - Wider color space: HDMI 1.3 adds support for "xvColor™" (which is the consumer name for the IEC 61966-2-4 xvYCC color standard), which breaks the current color space limitations and allows any color visible to the human eye to be displayed. New Mini Connector: For small portable devices like HD camcorders and cameras that need a seamless connection to HDTVs, HDMI 1.3 offers a new connector option in a smaller form factor. Lip Sync: As consumer electronics devices use more sophisticated digital signal processing to improve the clarity and detail of content, lip syncing deodorant video and audio on user devices has become more difficult and could potentially require complex end-user adjustments. HDMI 1.3 includes automatic audio synchronization capabilities that allow devices to perform this synchronization automatically with absolute accuracy. New HD lossless audio formats: In addition to HDMI's current ability to support uncompressed wideband digital audio and all currently available compressed formats (such as Dolby® Digital and DTS®), HDMI 1.3 adds support for the new lossless compressed digital audio formats TrueHD and Dolby DTS -HD Master Audio™. HDMI port for high-speed bi-directional communication. Connected devices that support this feature can send and receive data over Ethernet at 100Mbps, making them instantly ready for any IP application. The HDMI Ethernet Channel allows Internet-connected HDMI devices to share an Internet connection over HDMI without requiring a separate Ethernet cable. It also offers a connectivity platform that allows HDMI-enabled components to share content between devices. * Not currently available on Denon devices. Audio Return Channel: The latest specification adds an audio channel that reduces the number of cables required to carry audio "upstream" from the television to the A/V receiver for processing and playback. In cases where the TV is equipped with an internal content source such as a built-in tuner or DVD player, the Audio Return Channel allows the TV to send audio data upstream to the A/V Receiver via the HDMI cable, eliminating the need N/A -3D: Version 1.4 of the specification defines common 3D formats and resolutions for HDMI-enabled devices and enables 3D games and other 3D video applications. The specification standardizes the input/output side of a home 3D system and enables 3D resolution up to dual-stream 1080p. 4K Resolution Support: The new specification enables HDMI devices to support extremely high HD resolutions, effectively four times the resolution of 1080p. Device. 4K support allows HDMI to deliver digital content at the same resolution as today's digital cinema systems used in many movie theaters. Improved Color Space Support HDMI now supports color spaces specifically designed for digital cameras. , for more accurate color reproduction when viewing digital photos. sYCC601, Adobe®RGB and Adobe®YCC601 support enables HDMI displays to display more accurate and true-to-life colors when connected to a digital camera. HDMI micro connector: (Type D) HDMI micro connector A much smaller 19-pin HDMI connector that supports resolutions up to 1080p for portable devices such as cell phones, portable media players, and digital cameras. This new connector is approximately 50% smaller than the existing mini HDMI connector. Vehicle Connection System: (Type E) The Vehicle Connection System is a cable specification designed for use in a car to transmit HD content. The HDMI 1.4 specification provides a solution designed to meet the stringent requirements and environmental issues commonly encountered in automobiles, such as: B. heat, vibration and noise. With the Automotive Connection System, car manufacturers now have a practical solution for HD distribution in the vehicle. HDMI 2.0 HDMI 2.0, referred to as HDMI UHD by some manufacturers, was released on September 4, 2013. Bandwidth from 3.4 Gbps to 6 Gbps for a maximum aggregate TMDS throughput of 18 Gbps. This allows HDMI 2.0 to transmit 4K resolution at 60 frames per second (fps). Other HDMI 2.0 features include Rec. 2020, Dual View, 4:2:0 chroma subsampling, 25fps 3D formats, up to 32 channels of audio, up to 1536kHz audio (e.g. 7.1 channels at 192kHz) , up to 4 audio streams, 21:9, HE, AAC and DRA audio standards, dynamic automatic lip sync, advanced 3D capabilities and additional CEC features. HDMI 2.0a was released on April 8, 2015 and added support for HDR (high dynamic range) video.
