1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:09,440
it seems like we were only just getting used to HDMI 2.0 as the new normal with

2
00:00:06,319 --> 00:00:11,679
its support for 4k resolution at 60

3
00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:15,920
hertz making it a viable option for gamers and enthusiasts but there's

4
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:21,920
already something much more impressive on the horizon the recently announced

5
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:25,439
HDMI 2.1

6
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:28,800
of course going from 2.0 to 2.1 might

7
00:00:25,439 --> 00:00:30,400
not sound like a huge leap for mankind

8
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:36,800
think about how unexciting the transition from Windows 8 to 8.1 was

9
00:00:34,079 --> 00:00:40,000
but this new revision of HDMI actually has

10
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:46,239
massively enhanced uh capabilities

11
00:00:42,079 --> 00:00:47,600
first up let's talk resolution 4k 5k and

12
00:00:46,239 --> 00:00:54,640
even 8k are child's play for the new HDMI 2.1

13
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:55,600
which supports content at up to 10

14
00:00:54,640 --> 00:01:01,480
k and although the HDMI forum hasn't yet

15
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:04,879
said if 10k means the typical

16
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:07,200
16x9 aspect ratio with about 10 000

17
00:01:04,879 --> 00:01:12,720
pixels across or something more widescreen and cinematic

18
00:01:09,439 --> 00:01:16,240
it definitely far outstrips the 4k

19
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:18,240
resolution of older hdmis

20
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:24,320
perhaps even more impressively though HDMI 2.1 can handle these absurd

21
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:27,000
resolutions at equally absurd frame

22
00:01:24,320 --> 00:01:30,640
rates we're talking 120 hertz at 10

23
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:35,920
k which makes even the ak 60 hertz

24
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:42,960
capabilities of the latest displayport revision 1.4 look positively pedestrian

25
00:01:40,799 --> 00:01:48,479
and although you would need a seriously incredible video card in your computer

26
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:55,040
to push that many pixels in a game you can still perhaps look forward to ultra

27
00:01:51,759 --> 00:01:57,360
smooth movies and videos on youtube at

28
00:01:55,040 --> 00:02:02,640
staggering resolutions and on the subject of gaming HDMI 2.1

29
00:02:00,399 --> 00:02:07,520
will support its own variable refresh rate technology simply called

30
00:02:05,119 --> 00:02:13,520
game mode vrr this allows a source device like a pc or

31
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:19,200
a game console and a connected display to synchronize their refresh rates and

32
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:22,160
thus avoid pesky screen tearing similar

33
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:26,640
to NVIDIA's g-sync and AMD's freesync which you can learn more about here

34
00:02:24,640 --> 00:02:32,480
hopefully this will finally make adaptive refresh much more accessible

35
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:34,400
than the fragmented bundle of ecosystems

36
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:38,400
that we have now and that's not all it can do to make

37
00:02:36,239 --> 00:02:44,319
your content look more real than ever before

38
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:47,200
like HDMI 2.0 2.1 supports HDR or high

39
00:02:44,319 --> 00:02:52,959
dynamic range which expands black and white levels as well as color ranges

40
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:59,840
especially in bright and dark scenes you can learn more about HDR here but HDMI

41
00:02:56,319 --> 00:03:02,480
2.1 takes the concept a step further

42
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:09,680
with dynamic metadata this allows the exact range of luminance

43
00:03:05,519 --> 00:03:12,400
to be varied on a per-frame basis and

44
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:18,560
although the existing dolby vision HDR standard also supports dynamic metadata

45
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:25,120
it's a proprietary standard whereas the hdr10 standard is open meaning more

46
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:28,319
devices at lower prices

47
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:30,080
and of course HDMI carries audio along

48
00:03:28,319 --> 00:03:35,120
with your video so there are improvements for your ears as well we'll

49
00:03:32,799 --> 00:03:41,280
be getting a feature called enhanced audio return channel enabling

50
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:43,680
object-based audio schemes like dolby

51
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:48,959
atmos and dts x meaning each sound in the movie or show

52
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:53,599
that you're watching is encoded as its own specific object

53
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:59,040
instead of just having a limited number of discrete channels making positional

54
00:03:56,239 --> 00:04:05,760
audio more realistic whether you have four speakers in your setup or 24

55
00:04:02,959 --> 00:04:14,000
but all of this new stuff means HDMI 2.1 needs a larger pipe with

56
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:17,600
higher bandwidth 48 gigabits per second

57
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:22,479
to be exact which is over twice as much

58
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:26,479
as HDMI 2.0 and even faster than current

59
00:04:22,479 --> 00:04:28,479
m.2 pci express ssds

60
00:04:26,479 --> 00:04:34,160
there is bad news though in addition to buying a new tv a new

61
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:41,040
source device and new copies of all of your content you will even need new HDMI

62
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:42,880
2.1 cables to take advantage of the

63
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:46,160
higher resolutions just make sure that you don't get

64
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:49,440
hoodwinked into buying one of those thousand dollar silver ones from wire

65
00:04:48,479 --> 00:04:53,759
world racing against the clock as a freelancer

66
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:58,320
challenging yes but with the growth of the internet

67
00:04:56,240 --> 00:05:05,199
there's never been more opportunities for the self-employed and come on did

68
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:08,240
you have a degree in accounting already

69
00:05:05,199 --> 00:05:10,639
i didn't think so but freshbooks

70
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:15,520

71
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:18,160
