• Higher speed: although all previous versions of HDMI® have had more than enough bandwidth to support all current HDTV formats
• (10.2Gbps) to support the demands of future HD display devices, such as higher resolutions, deep color and high frame rates
• In addition, built into the specification is the technical foundation that will let future versions of HDMI® reach significantly higher speeds
• Deep color: supports 30-, 36- and 48-bit (RGB or YCbCr) color depths, up from the 24-bit depths in previous versions of the HDMI® specification, for stunning rendering of over one billion colors in unprecedented detail
• Broader color space adds support for axvYCC a color standard, which removes current color space limitations and enables the display of any color viewable by the human eye
• New mini connector: with small portable devices such as HD camcorders and still cameras demanding seamless connectivity to HDTVs, offers a new, smaller form factor connector option
• Lip synchronization: because consumer electronics devices are using increasingly complex digital signal processing to enhance the clarity and detail of the content, synchronization of video and audio in user devices has become a greater challenge and could potentially require complex end-user adjustments incorporates automatic audio synching capabilities that allows devices to perform this synchronization automatically with total accuracy
• New HD lossless audio formats: in addition to HDMI® is current ability to support high-bandwidth uncompressed digital audio and all currently-available compressed formats (such as Dolby digital and DTS), adds additional support for new loss less compressed digital audio formats Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD master audio™
