The HDMI Forum has unveiled the latest iteration of its interface standard—HDMI 2.2. This new standard boasts an impressive maximum bandwidth of 96Gbps, enabling the uncompressed transmission of 4K video at a smooth 240Hz refresh rate and 8K video at 60Hz. However, consumers eager to experience the full capabilities of HDMI 2.2 will need to exercise patience, as the first devices fully compliant with this standard are not expected to enter the market until 2027. Nonetheless, some products incorporating LIP (Low Latency Interactive Protocol, assuming this is a specific feature in context; if not, please replace with the correct term) functionality are slated to make their debut later this year, offering a glimpse into the future of high-speed, high-resolution connectivity.
