4K Support
The HDMI 1.4 specification adds support
for extremely high video resolutions that go far beyond today’s 1080p
systems. 4K is shorthand for 4,000 lines wide by 2,000 lines high,
or roughly four times the resolution of a 1080p display. The term actually
covers two formats, both supported in the HDMI 1.4 specification:
- 3840 pixels wide by 2160 pixels
high
- 4096 pixels wide by 2160 pixels
high
4K displays will put high-end home
theater systems roughly on a par with the state-of-the-art Digital Cinema
projectors used in many commercial movie theaters. Staying true
to its commitment to future-readiness, the HDMI standard can now support
these systems with the extremely high bandwidth connectivity they will
require.
