The cable that supports 48Gbps bandwidth is the “Ultra High-Speed HDMI” cable. This cable also supports uncompressed 8K video and HDR resources. The new cable reduces electromagnetic interference and is backward compatible. This means that it will work for an existing HDMI equipment. HDMI 2.1 is now certified by the HDMI Authorized Testing Center (ATC) and officially recognized by the HDMI Authorized Management Company.
The South Korean manufacturing giant is one of the few companies that have the capacity for massive innovations. In fact, there is usually a huge disappointment when a Samsung flagship is not offering anything new. The latest 8K HDMI 2.1 video standard certification shows that Samsung is still working on new products. The company has an interest in new products that will offer the best performance.
