📢 HDMI Forum Releases Final HDMI 2.2 Specification – Introducing the New ULTRA96 Cable Standard

The HDMI Forum has officially released the final specification for HDMI 2.2, marking a major leap forward in high-performance audio-video transmission. First introduced in January, the HDMI 2.2 standard is now finalized — and with it comes a new requirement:

All HDMI 2.2 cables must be labeled with “ULTRA96.”

🔍 What is ULTRA96?

The ULTRA96 marking indicates that a cable supports up to 96Gbps of bandwidth — double the capacity of HDMI 2.1, which maxes out at 48Gbps.

To ensure authenticity and compliance, HDMI Forum mandates that every certified cable — regardless of length — must be tested and clearly labeled. This ensures buyers can easily identify the right cable for their high-end display and multimedia needs.

🔧 HDMI 2.2 – Key Technical Highlights

The HDMI 2.2 standard introduces breakthrough bandwidth and color performance for future-ready AV applications:

    • 12K @ 120Hz or 16K @ 60Hz transmission support
    • Support for full-color, uncompressed video formats:
    • 8K @ 60fps / 4:4:4
    • 4K @ 240fps / 4:4:4
    • 10-bit and 12-bit color depth
    • LIP (Latency Indication Protocol): a new feature for improving audio-video synchronization, especially in setups involving soundbars or AV receivers
These enhancements position HDMI 2.2 as a true next-generation interface for professional video, home theaters, and high-end gaming.

🏭 What This Means for the Industry

With the release of HDMI 2.2, manufacturers must now ensure:

    • Full compliance with 96Gbps transmission standards
    • Use of certified chipsets and high-frequency signal structures
    • ULTRA96 labeling and validation for each cable length variant
