HDMI 1.4 vs 2.0
As trends go 4K is a big one. The human eye is only capable of viewing 8K, so the technology giants won’t want to get there too soon, although 4K TV’s have now dropped below 300 sterling and rumours are rife of the details regarding a Sony PS4K and the various features that 4K can exert. 4K is effectively 4x the modern standard of 1080p and although content is currently lacking the quick popularity and price dropping are making it a front-runner as more and more media hardware and software of the future are attuned to the 4K notion.

In electronic advertising the swing is ever more relevant representing the opportunity to display campaigns and content in the glossiest format yet, courtesy of diverse digital signage displays that are compatible with the advancements from touchscreens to huge outdoor screens.

Along with its heavy-duty capabilities is its 4K compatibility via HDMI 1.4. HDMI 1.4 was introduced with the relevant bandwidth in 2009 for 4K content, 7 years ago it was introduced as a hefty upgrade by the HDMI Licensing Consortium and provided a fantastic solution for a variety of display applications including 4K, 2K as well as an integrated Ethernet channel but this latest advancement revolves solely around the speed that content can be delivered and so the competence in delivering extremely high resolutions. HDMI 1.4 can deliver 10.2 Gbps and its bandwidth is large enough to provide 24 & 30 frames per second think of it as the entry level with the ability to have a dabble with any content such as 4K.
What is HDMI 2.0?
With such high development and research into the various visual formats further applications and evolutions in content mean that a new HDMI doesn’t necessarily extinguish the 1.4 but at 50 & 60fps HDMI 2.0 offers all that content without any compromise including speeds of 18Gbps. Gladly the change is fairly minimal with standard HDMI 1.4 cables that will work smoothly with the new devices. Of course a major application is in films where various new technologies and techniques are creating break-away industries. Peter Jackson’s “The Hobbit” was shot in 48fps which is of huge transition from traditional cinema. It is a swing that inevitable emphasizes the potential for advertising applications to show new, clerical unmissable content to your audience. All that has to be ensured is that either end of the entertainment chain/ hardware support the new standard.
