HDMI V2.1, which is backwards compatible with earlier versions of the HDMI specification v2.0, v1.4, v1.3, v1.2 etc, significantly increases bandwidth up to 18Gbps and adds key enhancements to support market requirements for enhancing the consumer video and audio experience.

Tested 100% with all common HDMI sources such as Multichoice DSTV Explora / HDPVR, Sony Playstation Consoles, Microsoft Xbox Consoles, DVD players and Blu-ray Players.

Except for 8K 60hz support this cable supports the refresh rates and color spaces below for 4K IF supported by both the display and the source/player/PC (and digital receivers or HDMI Splitters in-between devices must also support below to ensure no video drops):

• 4k (3840 x 2160) 60hz YCbCr 4:4:4 8-Bit, YCbCr 4:2:2 12-Bit, YCbCr 4:2:0 12Bit, YCbCr 4:2:0 10 Bit & HDR, HDR10 & HDR10Plus
• 4k (3840 x 2160) 144/240hz YCbCr 4:2:2 10-Bit, YCbCr 4:2:0 12Bit, YCbCr 4:2:0 10Bit & HDR, HDR10 & HDR10Plus

YCbCr 4:2:2 12-bit is better than YCbCr 4:2:0 10-bit because it offers superior color detail (higher chroma resolution with 4:2:2) and a wider range of shades, reducing banding and providing smoother gradients, especially for HDR content and professional work

• 4:4:4 vs 4:2:2 vs 4:2:0 (Chroma Subsampling):
  • 4:4:4 (No Subsampling): Full color for every pixel.
  • 4:2:2: Half the horizontal color information (chroma) of 4:4:4 (2 color samples for every 4 luminance samples).
  • 4:2:0: Quarter the color information (chroma) of 4:4:4 (2 color samples for every 4 pixels in a 2×2 block).
  • Benefit: 4:2:2 retains more color detail than 4:2:0, meaning less color blurring or artifacting, especially around edges and text.
• 12-bit vs 10-bit vs 8-bit (Bit Depth):
  • Bit Depth: Determines the number of distinct color shades available for each primary color (Red, Green, Blue).
  • 8-bit: 256 shades per channel (around 16.7 Million colors).
  • 10-bit: 1,024 shades per channel (over 1 billion colors).
  • 12-bit: 4,096 shades per channel (over 68 billion colors).
  • Benefit: Higher bit depth (12-bit) provides significantly more steps between colors, preventing “color banding” (visible steps in smooth gradients) and creating smoother, more realistic images, crucial for HDR, HDR10 and HDR10Plus

The Indicated Length of the HDMI Cable includes the cable length including the heads and is TOTAL Length of the cable, not the cable length itself between the 2 heads.

Is HDMI 2.1 backwards compatible with HDMI 1.x?

Yes, all HDMI versions are fully backward compatible with all previous versions. 

Does HDMI 2.1 require new connectors?

No, HDMI 2.0 uses the existing connectors.

HDMI CABLES AND EQUIPMENT SHOULD NEVER BE CONNECTED / DISCONNECTED WHILE YOUR EQUIPMENT IS POWERED ON SINCE THE HDMI PORT CARRIES A LOW VOLTAGE BUT CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT WHEN PLUGGED / UNPLUGGED WHILE POWERED ON.
