25 Feet High Speed HDMI Cable with Ethernet Male to Male Cable, Category 2 Certified, 30 AWG, Support 3D and Ethernet over the Cable

Note: HDMI version numbers are no longer used for any HDMI cable now. There are five cable types, all with different capabilities and performance characteristics. In addition, HDMI Licensing, LLC has created a set of distinctive cable type logos to be used in cable packaging, designed to provide quick visual identification of the cable type and help avoid any mix-ups.

All cables must labeled as one of the five types listed below:

High Speed HDMI Cable with Ethernet

Released May 28, 2009.

High Speed HDMI Cable with Ethernet increases the maximum resolution to 4K �� 2K (3840��2160p at 24Hz/25Hz/30Hz and 4096��2160p at 24Hz, which is a resolution used with digital theaters); an HDMI Ethernet Channel, which allows for a 100 Mb/s Ethernet connection between the two HDMI connected devices; and introduces an Audio Return Channel, 3D Over HDMI (HDMI 1.3 devices will only support this for 1080i), a new Micro HDMI Connector, expanded support for color spaces, and an Automotive Connection System.

High Speed HDMI Cable with Ethernet supports several stereoscopic 3D formats including field alternative (interlaced), frame packing (a full resolution top-bottom format), line alternative full, side-by-side half, side-by-side full, 2D + depth, and 2D + depth + graphics + graphics depth (WOWvx), with additional top/bottom formats added in version 1.4a .

High Speed HDMI Cable with Ethernet requires that 3D displays support the frame packing 3D format at either 720p50 and 1080p24 or 720p60 and 1080p24. High Speed HDMI 1.3 cables can support all High Speed HDMI Cable with Ethernet features except for the HDMI Ethernet Channel.

High Speed HDMI Cable with Ethernet was released on March 4, 2010 and adds two additional mandatory 3D formats for broadcast content which was deferred with High Speed HDMI Cable with Ethernet in order to see the direction of the 3D broadcast market.

High Speed HDMI Cable with Ethernet has defined mandatory 3D formats for broadcast, game, and movie content.

High Speed HDMI Cable with Ethernet requires that 3D displays support the frame packing 3D format at either 720p50 and 1080p24 or 720p60 and 1080p24, side-by-side horizontal at either 1080i50 or 1080i60, and top-and-bottom at either 720p50 and 1080p24 or 720p60 and 1080p24.

HDMI 1.3

Released June 22, 2006

Increases single-link bandwidth to 340 MHz (10.2 Gbit/s)

Optionally supports 30-bit, 36-bit, and 48-bit xvYCC with Deep Color or over one billion colors, up from 24-bit sRGB or YCbCr in previous versions.

Incorporates automatic audio syncing (Audio video sync) capability.

Optionally supports output of Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio streams for external decoding by AV receivers. TrueHD and DTS-HD are lossless audio codec formats used on HD DVDs and Blu-ray Discs. If the disc player can decode these streams into uncompressed audio, then HDMI 1.3 is not necessary, as all versions of HDMI can transport uncompressed audio.

Availability of a new mini connector for devices such as camcorders

HDMI 1.3a

Released November 10, 2006.

Cable and Sink modifications for Type C

Source termination recommendation

Removed undershoot and maximum rise/fall time limits.

CEC capacitance limits changed

RGB video quantization range clarification

CEC commands for timer control brought back in an altered form, audio control commands added.

Concurrently released compliance test specification included.

HDMI 1.3b

Released March 26, 2007.

HDMI compliance testing revisions. Has no effect on HDMI features or functions since the testing is for products based on the HDMI 1.3a specification.

HDMI 1.3b1

Released November 9, 2007.

HDMI compliance testing revisions which added testing requirements for HDMI Type C mini-connector. Has no effect on HDMI features or functions since the testing is for products based on the HDMI 1.3a specification.

HDMI 1.2

Released August 8, 2005.

Added support for One Bit Audio, used on Super Audio CDs, up to 8 channels.

Availability of HDMI Type A connector for PC sources.

Ability for PC sources to use native RGB color-space while retaining the option to support the YCBCR CE color space.

Requirement for HDMI 1.2 and later displays to support low-voltage sources.

HDMI 1.2a

Released December 14, 2005.

Fully specifies Consumer Electronic Control (CEC) features, command sets, and CEC compliance tests.

36-bit support is mandatory for Deep Color compatible consumer electronics devices, with 48-bit support being optional.

Maximum resolution is based on CVT-RB, which is a VESA standard for non-CRT-based displays. Using CVT-RB 1920��1200 would have a video bandwidth of 3.69 Gbit/s, 2560��1600 would have a video bandwidth of 8.12 Gbit/s, and 4096��2160 would have a video bandwidth of 5.35 Gbit/s.

Using CVT-RB 2560��1600 would have a video bandwidth of 8.12 Gbit/s and 4096��2160 would have a video bandwidth of 6.69 Gbit/s.

Using CVT-RB 1920��1200 would have a video bandwidth of 7.91 Gbit/s and 4096��2160 would have a video bandwidth of 8.03 Gbit/s.

Using CVT-RB 1920��1200 would have a video bandwidth of 7.39 Gbit/s.

Even for a compressed audio codec that a given HDMI version cannot transport, the source device may be able to decode the audio codec and transmit the audio as uncompressed LPCM.

CEC has been in the HDMI specification since version 1.0, but only began to be used in consumer electronics products with HDMI version 1.3a.

Playback of SACD may be possible for older HDMI versions if the source device (such as the Oppo 970) converts to LPCM.

Large number of additions and clarifications for CEC commands. One addition is CEC command, allowing for volume control of an AV receiver.
